I think a free set of Sumis is a perfect tool for feeling the limit and thrashing at a track Then when you get the RS-3 you will know more what a tire feels like on the limit and can quickly utilize the extra grip of the RS3.

I am going to a car control school the 27th with Florida Citrus Region and I am taking my sumis so I can explore the limit at a lower speed - I am looking forward to learning a lot. I think you did a similar school and got a lot out of it as well?

Yes, our local PCA calls it Performance Driving School. Best $350 I ever spent!
Its a 2.5 day event. 3 hours classroom Friday night. Multiple driving exercises all day Sat including wet skid pad and an untimed AX all day Sun.

You will be amazed at how great these cars are and how untrained you are. LOL
