You need to build up muscle memory in order to control a car like these on/ off the limit. You can do this mucking about in parking lots as suggested and also spending time in a good simulation like Gran Turisom or Forza -and I mean simulation, these are not 'games'. They will teach you the reactions you need. These moments of sudden terror can happen so fast you need to snap that wheel at the right time and the right amount. Sometimes you don't even register what just happened, you just reacted and saved it.
- Get that muscle memory going

Oh yeah, computer games will definitely help you develop the senses necessary to drive a car.
That's one reason there are so many idiots on the roads these days working traffic like its a f'n computer game.

With horsepower comes great responsibility. Drive like a idiot and you'll be lucky if a car is the only thing you destroy.

That sounds like C5 talk

I'm pretty sure an L98 is fast enough to lose a license.
