Hi,
I agree with you 100% about the Driving Course and 100% about the Tires with one Caveat - for the Experienced Driver only.
Upgrading your Tires can cause some issues for new Performance Car Drivers. The better Tires will add more Grip, but will also tend to
breakaway much more suddenly and with less warning.
To the Unexperienced Driver, this can
artificially raise their Confidence Level in their skills which could possibly result in some bent sheetmetal or worse - bent people...
I strongly suspect that many
Go-Fast upgrades are at the Root of many accidents simply because they raise the Car above the Driver's abilities. I've seen this time and again.
Today's Sports Cars and Performance Sedans, even those in the middle of the Line-Up, far surpass the performance of some of the Best Cars of even a few years ago and come dangerously close to exceeding the Skill Level of their average Owner, lending even more creedence to your suggestion of the Value in taking some Driving Courses...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
