You want to learn car control? Come drive in the winter in Chicago. I drove an '89 Firebird Formula with 235bhp/340lb-ft torque, posi rear-end, and 245/50-16s all winter for 10 years. For two of those winters, I was on Goodyear GS-Cs (summer-dry tires). When I was a kid, my best friend and I used to have contests to see who could drive his '72 Camaro sideways the furthest. It's about like drifting. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than track days. Then again, the cars take more beating from the salt than they probably do at track days.
