Default psychology?

Some may argue that just to don racing apparel adds to the whole experience only from a psychological point of view.

When I drove an MGB, I, too, felt that putting on non-lined thin leather gloves made the steering tighter and the shifting a bit quicker.

Did it really make a physical difference? I don't know. Who cares? If the gloves make for a better ride, wear them! Wear them out, and get another pair. Wear out two 'Vettes with the same pair - just get out there, drive, and Enjoy!!
