I think as a rule, the worst kit in the best hands will always beat the best kit in the worst hands, so as a rule, 90% of us ought to be striving to get more out of what we have which is what was said in the posts above.

But when you see people that you were on a par with suddenly turn up with a new car and put 1/2 a second a lap on you then the temptation will always be there. That is what manufacturers rely on.

For the mid field driver, sometimes getting a new car and going for a kit set up often gives a good feel which we slowly drift away from as we use a car for a while. I know I ought to have a "set up sheet" but I don't and over time the tweaks I make can slowly slow the car down (I'm no set up expert) and going back to a kit set up with my current car would probably give me a similar benefit

If you want one and you can afford it then go for it. Will you go from mid C final to winning A finals? Probably not.

When I went from my BMax2 to YZ2 it instantly gave me a second a lap improvement and I just like driving it. I didn't win any A finals, but it did put me ahead of a handful of people that I used to be behind
