I've found that my '09 gets fuel starve with just two fuel lights out- way faster than my buddy martin82's '12 model- and we drive a righthand-sweeper intensive track (Willow Springs) so I have to top off after each session, he goes two sessions and thinks about maybe getting gas. More fuel = slower Z (he has me by a half second when we're on track the same day). Whether it's a factor or not is going to depend on the particular track so be ready with gas but don't obsess. Get in line for the fix from Phunk (see thread in this forum) because sooner or later you will learn to hate it with a passion.

VDC is atrocious on this car, track time is expensive. Your commitment to learning via school indicates that you are worth a sh*t as a driver. My recommendation is to turn it off at all times on dry surface, street or track: it can actually endanger you if someone happens to be close behind and neither of you expect it to kick in. Run it in the damp and in rain, when you're wisely keeping revs under 3k anyway and it can only help you.
