Airfield day (get an idea of what they car can really do).
Driver training (start to be able to use the car's abilities)
Track day (Donington is a good place to go in an S).

drive it down your favourite twisty road late at night with the air box cover off, hood down and revs bouncing off the limiter.

Hang the tail out at 80mph on the outside lane of a wet dual carageway, much better than those silly shitroen vibrating seats for keeping you awake lol.

Perfect the perfect exit to t junctions with half a turn of opposite lock and a whiff of wheel spin.

Try all of the above but avoid writing it off, three figure tish tails are not advisable IMO

Do a Track Day & Revel in passing the 'Poor' Porche Drivers, knowing that spending 60/70k still can't gaurentee them a quick / decent car !!!

Driving in the Alps / Pyrenees - so much 1st & 2nd Gear / Rev Limit Hitting / Full Steering Lock - Lots of Smiles / Laughs / Frights !!!

Looking a your passenger as you change down a gear at 130+ !!!
