I see what you are saying and agree in the most part, the skill is adapting the car and your driving to the conditions.
It can be done, but coming from someone who has done it in the past its a massive time saver to have a car setup ready for wet rather than scrambling between rounds to try and get it done.
For the top top guys they will want every tenth out of it, for a lot of us average joes its about having a laugh in the tent rather than frantically beavering away to get it ready, so the cheaper second car helps.
That said I see what you are saying and you have a good point, I put off buying a second car for a long time. But after trying to adapt my carpet car to use at Worksop it took a while to do (after racing saturday carpet, then sunday worksop) so vowed to get a wet/low grip car.
Infact used the same yesterday at Robin Hood, got caught out by the rain threw wet car down rather than spending half my day setting the car up (as it was practise and I just wanted to drive).
