What tire pressures are you running on those RS-3s? They love tire pressure. The best car feel and consistency was with a tire pressure in the high 40s when hot.

Beside Karting, think about sim racing. You can learn a lot with a Logitec G27, a PC and IRacing. My setup is probably getting as expensive as my Porsche(Fantec with my own design sim rig) , but the amount of seat time that you will be able to do and different cars you can drive can't be beat. Day 1 on track I was faster without PSM then with and it was my first track day with my boxster, faster then most of the cars in the group. I credit the amount of time I spent with 911s "RUF" and mid engine cars I drove. For example, my friends and I are practicing and tuning a AMG GT3 to run the 12 hours of Sebring. I did maybe 4 hours yesterday and the track is burned into my mind. Check it out.

Also getting passed by a miata doesn't mean anything. A "slower car" may have more go fast upgrades to it: Tires, brakes, suspension and aero then your car. Tires are by far the biggest variable when it comes down to times, suspension second. Then again a stock car on R comps will be faster then a car with coilovers and street tires.
