Then he looks around and says, "Yeah, but I'm having problems putting all of my power down whereas you don't have that "power problem"".

Yeah dude, that's it; you have too much power and that's what makes my 200hp girly car faster.
Same conversation after my last autocross from an enthusiastic newbie with a new PDK Cayman after getting smoked by better drivers in miatas and frs/brz. He was limited at corner exit because he had too much power. His FB thread did not go the way he thought, but to his credit he changed his thought process after being schooled. He was legitimately looking for the reason why and that was what he landed on
