I believe a course should be either included in the purchase price of these super cars or required by law. That being said, I'd learn by trial and error and I'm sure I'd get many tickets for my "learning curve." lol

....High performance cars
I think it would be advisable for anyone purchasing one of these cars toat least
enroll in some sort of road course school or ask someone else to show how to
handle one of these beast. They can he a real handful to the untrained driver
or even dangerous to the guy whoe just wants to "...see what it'll do"....
I did a NASCAR ride along at TMS a few years ago and that scared me enough
to respect the speed that those cars can put out. I enjoyed it !
But I have a
new understanding of that kind of speed.
The Dodge truck video that is on this forum is a good example of not knowing what to do.

i know that the Venom 1000 & the new ZR-1 come with the option of attending a driving school,im not sure about any other high performance car, & yeah that dodge ram SRT10 guy was an idiot, ive driven one of those, if u think a 500hp sports car is bad for wanting to come around the SRT10 ram is worse
STILL SLOW

You'd find that once the Veyron hits about 225-230 or so it's all out of ideas...
