After you've broken the car in by driving gently for a few hundred miles, take your car to a large open space where you can safely lose control. The parking lot of a ball stadium or large concert arena early on a Sunday morning is good (lots with NO light poles, please). Drive in a circle, lift off the throttle, and learn how your rear comes out unexpectedly. Try accelerating "too hard" out of a pretend curve and see what happens. Experiment with hard launches out of the hole with your wheels not completely straight so you start fish-tailing. With no roll bar you might have trouble getting on some tracks for hi-po training. An instructor might be a little hesitant to sit in that passenger seat but you can at least follow him and learn the proper lines (if they let you on the track, that is). |
