This car will drive like none that you have ever driven before. I always take mine out for a week or so alone until I get used to all of the quirks and how much I can push it. I never give rides until I feel comfortable with the car. As mentioned above, if you can go to a high performance driving school, and especially one that will let you drive your car, I believe that should be a mandatory thing for new people. It is very easy to over drive your skill level when first starting out, so don't worry about showing someone that it will do 180 MPH until you can handle it. I live in a great area for this as we have a lot of lightly traveled mountain roads and you can work your way up until you really know the car. Also I am just an hours drive from a road track. Once you get used to the car, you will have the time of your life. Enjoy it.
