I've said this a bunch of times and I'll keep saying it.. The most cost-effective way to learn high performance driving is to take a karting course. I've done the two-day Jim Hall 100cc course, and the Intro to shifter karts at Bondurant. The Jim Hall courses are excellent, the Bondurant course was good, but I'd have ideally gone in for a longer course - the intro course is more like a test drive.
If you really want to learn what it's like to drive at the limit, and the basics of how to navigate a track, this is the most cost-effective way to do it. And it's a hell of a lot of fun. As for speeds, for an autocross style circuit you're not going to get around faster than a shifter kart.
