I've driven that road course with the Richard Petty Driving Experience instructors during the SRT Driving Experience. I basically got to flog all the SRT cars except the Viper and Grand Cherokee on that course. It's not SCARY fast, but it is a lot of fun for a short track. I think I was one of the only people to actually stay on the bumper of the instructor during the lead-follow segment in an SRT Charger, and set the fastest time in the autocross in an SRT Grand Cherokee. (The SRT Crossfire was a dog, by the way) Our team won the autocross competition event, by the way.
I think you'll be able to find out where your skill limit is, if not your car's actual performance limit. Then again, you may have a natural talent for driving and surprise yourself with how well you drive. It's a cool little road course with just a little bit of elevation change and a couple of good, medium/high speed corners, and one really good hard braking point at the end of the main (fairly short) straight, if I remember it correctly. Smoothness and carrying speed are the keys to going really quick around that course. Do a Google Earth search for Texas Motor Speedway, and you'll see the infield road course on the East side of the track.
If you decide to go to TMS, let us know so we can make arrangements to come watch how you do!!! (no pressure, right?)
