Drag racing 80% 20% driver, winner is the one with the bigger budget
Auto cross (low speed) 80% driver, 20% car, it takes more than a wallet to be competitive.
I think the same is true of larger quicker tracks. Ferraris run 12-13s in the 1/4, like s2000s that's not what they were made for.

I just remembered, the roads around your neighborhood were incredible, the twists and curves were unbelievable. FUN!! I'd like to see a mustang do what your S could on those streets.
