Default Really good advice

Some good advice by the experts (finally)...

Topic #1 is particularly important for short wheelbase cars, like the S2k.

P.S. For the track, not for the local streets

Great write-up, especially for beginners. I agree that topic #1 is good input about shifting weight and driving the car with rythem, but I think topic #4 holds the best advice. "Break like you're taking a crap." Breaking properly is the most difficult part in driving a car and I couldn't have said it any better myself. Awesome advice.

Good stuff. Sometimes when I'm on a twisty road I think of myself snow skiing as I carve turns. Dunno, seems to help.

Please bump or sticky this thread for whenever a new member asks about "banging off shifts" and making "VTECH KICK" harder....


Smoooooooooth. I like the description of the limo driver and the champagne.
