Which road is that? Nice car! On you first couple of photos, I'd turn the wheels to the other direction (wheels facing camera, not tires).

Edit: NVM.. maybe you were going for the counter-steer look?

First time? Great job man ...

I think 4,8,9 are keepers!

Great looking S........

And as far as tips I'm no expert by any means but I would wait till much later in the day to take pics.... The lighting in alot of your pics is very harsh.

Enjoy your new hobby...it is very addictive and can be very expensive.
My camera wishlist is alot bigger than my S2000 wish list

Oh one more thing I wanted to know. Is there a way to reduce the amount of noise in a photo?

In the full size versions I always see red / green pixels scattered in my car's paint. Or is that normal?

Some of the photos you got the exposure just right, so that's a good start. What mode are you shooting in? Av, Auto, Manual etc..Jpg or RAW?

Try to use Neutral in the camera setting and see if it's still doing that.

For noise, you can use programs such as noiseware, noise ninja, lightroom2 to reduce noise.
