These are all good suggestions, but another thing you can do when you have the opportunity is to go and put your car on an autocross in one of the parking lots that the SCCA has set up. You will learn so much about your car and yourself you will become a much better driver in a hurry and without damaging your car. Granted you probably won't get out of second gear but you will understand your torque issues immediately. Then when you are comfortable with that take your car to an open track day and test yourself and your car at some higher speeds. What you will learn in these two senario's will be invaluable to you in everything you drive. Did I mention you will have a great time and it will take about a week for you to remove the grin from your face. These cars are a ton of fun but they require a lot of respect and understanding of limits.
