I'd like to learn on my own like I will once I get the swap done on the 944.

I would love to go to a driving course someday. Not necessarily for driving fast but more for being able to control the car on the very edge of control, or even a little over the edge

...Thanks Member's for your posts & contributions.
"I wanta do it my way" ~> It's my right to go as fast as I want
Just get the heck outa my way 4-Sure...It's my highway..... I pay taxes...."Catch me `if U can" lol "I don't care about anyone else on the road" "Death Wish" ? ? ? Speed Kills ?
Innocent People/Families ? They make them fast 2 go fast don't they ? Why do they make cars to go over 200 MPH when most top speed limits are around 70 MPH ? Why do they do it ? We have plenty of roads, plenty of fuel ? ? ? don't we ? Do you want to be travel'in with your family/friends & get passed by someone doing 150MPH + ? Are they safe ? R U safe on your highways of life ? That's all of my ramblings 4 now...., but not 4ever
....I ~>C

i honestly think i could handle it. i'd have to get more familiar with driving a standard but horsepower wise...im pretty sure id be okay. it's pretty much like dont be dumb and irresponsible with that much power. that's where 99% of people in this world fail, like no joke. i think the most horsepower that i've ever handled (besides my race car) is probably an 07 vette that i test drove a while ago. i may have drove something with more horsepower and not realized it but thats the first one that comes to mind.

I would need some training. I have no problem admitting it. I hit 142 in my stock Subaru WRX and backed off because I became nervous. The car had a little float. I am sure that in a car built for it I would easily be comfortable to 160, but any more and I need to do some training.
