Performance Driving Schoool Or More Mods?
I have to decide between a two day performance driving school or an LS6 intake with coolant pipes for my 99FRC.
Where would you put your money????

After years of riding motorcycles, about 4 years ago, I took 3 levels of Keith Codes racing school and one of Kevin Schwantz's.
Though those schools are for bikes, if I had known what a better rider they would have made me, I would have done them first and then mods...
If you plan on driving your car in a more sportful manner than a daily driver, I would definitely think the school would be better.

I'm going to one this summer at Thunderhill.

Do the school first, then the mods. You'll be able to enjoy the mods more after learning more about driving the car.

Check if the performance driving school will get you a discount on your car insurance. I got a $38.00 savings (dunno if it is a percentage of premium or a flat rate) on my insurance for completing a defensive driving course. Insurance here is for a 6 month period, so that's a $76.00 annual savings. Not great, but I'll take it.

A group of us just got back from Spring Mountain in Parump NV, wish I would have gone years ago!
Regardless of what type of driving you plan on doing, road course, auto x or just running down the highway, you'll learn a lot about your car!
Spring Mountain uses ZO6's and C6's, nothing like learning in what you have!
FRC's rule!
