Default Lookie here! EVERYONE PLEASE READ ME!

great call! so nice to see someone want to post this as their first mod.

I'm no schumy, but I do know that this is the single best mod ("the loose nut behind the wheel") AlanL AW 2002...

Great idea! it'll give you a whole new perspective on how to enjoy it, how to drive it and appreciate it faster, smoother and safer than you prolly thought.

(steps off soapbox)...

I'm just saying congrats on the new car and good for you to realize the thought of a little schoolin' is the best mod you can make.

Default It's a car control school, not a racing school.

Or at least the programs they have here at Road Atlanta. You spend 1 or 2 days on the parking lot and skidpad doing low-speed car control excercises (braking, skid control, emergency lane change, etc.) in school's A4.

Default Porsche Club puts on good ones

There's one at Mid-Ohio toward the end of October. Yes, we accept all cars - we even have instructors familiar with Audi's!

Default My uncle has a Tiger Sunbeam.... its being featured by Carole Shelby....

at a museum opening since Shelby designed it. Very cool. And he gets to go up with the car and have shelby sign it and all the peoples whose cars are up there get to go out a big dinner thing with Shelby. I might go up for it since it sounds soooo cool.

Default Actually anyone's driving school is a good bet. You will learn from all of the ones

you mentioned. Some driving and/or racing schools assume you have some high performance driving background already and others don't. You might want to check.

Most driving schools where you are in their vehicle have a form you will be required to sign that basically says if you wad it up you pay for it, so taking their class is not really a license to trash the machine.
