And going back to a street car from a cup will truly expose all the limitations of even the most prepped street car for the track (nothing like weight reduction).
A 7 cup takes longer to learn when coming from a 6 or 6 cup; no abs, adjustable brake bias, having excellent heel and toes with a sequential, and better aero on a 7 cup. That said, once you learn a sequential, you never want to go back......
