School AND track experience before buying.

And what exactly did you learn - be specific, thanks.

Probably the best thing I learned was that what I thought I knew, I really didn't know at all. Ego gets in the way though and that's a hard pill to swallow. You learn the basics and how to be consistant. You also learn how not to be a loose cannon. I'm speaking of road racing, not just everyday driving.

Getting back to the OP...I think a weekend course is a great way to do some learning. It can be a lot of fun too, so I say go for it.

True, and according to IFlyEm "not bad per se" either - at least she knows where her abilities lie, that puts her already ahead of the game imo. I'm not apposed to school or track experience, but you don't make that suggestion as an ultimatum ...

"... make it part of the deal that BEFORE she ever takes it on the road she has to take it to a performance driving class with professionals that can teach her how to drive it."

"... she has to agree that if the professional tells her that she should not get within 100 feet of any performance car, she gives up on the idea."

That last comment is laughable, no professional instructor would ever say that, at worst recommend more time behind the wheel.

How about you, did you go to "cobra driving school" before you got behind the wheel of your 1st cobra?
