i was once on my p's and i know whats its like when you first get your license and you want to drive fast. i had an RA23 when i first got my license, then two years later i drove a new V6 commodore and thought "shit this has some power" then started working and drove a WRX and thought "fuck" i couldn't think quick enough and thought it was a rocket. since then i have driven an E55 360Kw of power supercharged V8 and lastly the most powerful car i have driven was an SL65 with 460Kw of power and limited to 1000Nm at the flywheel and now that is a fast car, yet i have the ability of being able to handle it aswell as the maturity. when you first get your license you need a year or two in a low powered car to learn car control. "yes i know when you first get your license you think your the worlds best driver" been there done that. but when you get older you will think back and realise you were an idiot. and as time goes on you should be able to slowly step up to more powerful cars. personally cars like the E55 and SL65 you should need a special license to drive one as they are insane the amount of power but i did an advanced driving course, which didn't make me think i was now a better driver, all it did was make me be more aware of other road users and learn how to react in an emergency situation, and how to keep yourself alive on the road from other idiots. and i think everyone should do a course like that as i reckon it would make a difference on the road toll. and for all of those young tools out there who can't wait to get off your p's to drive something fast then do what i used to do. go join a car club $50 then every weekend there is some sort of event on, go to rally events and learn how to control a car on a loose surface such as dirt, mud ect. or go to a trackday out at oran park or eastern creek and fly around the race track as fast as you like. get your speed out of your system that way rather then on public roads. i went to car club events before i even had my l's and i think that is where i learnt all my car control from, as you can go flat out and spin the car or whatever and not worry about hitting anything, i also did a rally driving course which tought me everything i needed to know about driving in wet weather how to control understeer and oversteer ect. and the advanced driving course tought me how to be responsable and sensable on the road. i might not be here today if i didn't do those courses as there has been many a time where i have nearly gone into a rock wall due to understeer or slid side on into an armco from oversteer but becuase i've had the practice in controling the car in those condition's in a safe environment i therefor had the ability to save my life when it really counted. also as for the rollcage talk, well your an idiot if you think they couldn't safe your life hitting a pole at 150km/h watch the rally scene for a year see the kinds or crashes they have hitting tree's at speeds far greater then 150km/h and they all survive. the difference is this, you put a cosmetic rollcage in your car, means fuck all looks good you might feel safe and it might be cheaper yet when it really counts it wont save your life, spend decent money and get an FAI approved roll cage fitted to your car and i would feel safe doing 200km/h along a dirt track with tree's on either side. as i know if i hit one then i have a very good chance of surviving. look at Simon Evans this year. hit a tree stump into his drivers door at like 140 or 150km/h maybe even more and what happened? he broke his thigh bone. so for those out there who say a rollcage wont save your life then you are most likely the idiots on the roads who will end up taking your life and someone else's with you as you musn't be pretty stupid and unactached from reality. anyway none of that probably makes any sense but i had to say it. 1:no more then two passengers in the car with a p plater. 2:power to weight ratio restriction's 3:compulsary advanced driving course and for your own safety join a car club $50 to join around $50 every event and you can compete against other drivers in a safe environment and get all of your speed out of your system rather then doing it on our public roads. or if you do choose to speed then do it by yourself and at 2am on a road in the middle of nowhere so you can see headlights of cars coming from the other direction and if you do fuck up then the only life taken is your own.
