white86 wrote on Tue, 07 September 2004 22:13 | ok... this idea just hit me today, i was driving home and saw a white cross on the side of the road (i'd actually saw this accident, it was a dude on a bike, when i saw him he was alive, but he unfortunately musn't have survived) and i realised i've never driven a powerful rear-drive car and im on the brink/in the process of doing a 4agte conversion in my sprinter.
i've always considered myself a pretty decent driver and take a lot of pride in my driving (only had my p's for a year or 2, but have done the k's of someone with at least 2 or 3 times that on the road), and most of my driving has been up and down mt nebo rd 4 times a day (some of you may know that road - popular weekend/late nite hoon road out of the gap in brisbane). but the thought of getting into my completed ae86 and driving it hard is sort of giving me chills...
has anyone else experienced this? what were other ppl's experiences in their first high powered car? im thinking my best bet will be to start attending some drift days and these sort of things, performance and advanced driving schools...
sorry for the mini-novel...
regards, daniel

i didnt read all the other posts
but i just went through same experience not "too" long ago
I went from driving a 1g geu in a 1250 kg car with about 60rwkw
to a 1jz gte in a 1250kg car making at that time around 200rwkw(in shootout mode)
also i had not driven a manual car more than like 2 times since i got my license 2 yrs before(which i learned in an excel).
I got into my car.. i was scared shitless, foot was shaking on the clutch.. needless to say i pussied it all the way home(car wasnt even rego'd and i had to get it home 40 k's away)
It took me around 3 weeks to get used to the power completely and ofcourse now i want more.
id say take it out late at night a few times and drive it all different ways till you get used to how much power is put down in certain situations and make sure your confident enough before going and doing anything stupid.
i also try to avoid driving in the wet at all.. because anything over say 1500 rpm even off boost creates wheel spin so its just safer to avoid if i can
