Maybe some bias because it's a She. Although if a male said he had no experience with performance cars, I suspect the driving school would be recommended by all. Maybe not quite as negative of a tone.

There are plenty of women racing, so gender means nothing.

Someone saying that they are not that good of a driver could mean anything from being honest and realistic on needing some education, to truly being clueless behind the wheel. So you need to honestly access which she is, and what type of head she has.

I find arrogant over-confident know-it-all men to be best candidate to kill themselves in any car. It's not necessary to have the skills to drive a race car, in order to own a performance car. It is imperative to have enough control over yourself to never attempt to drive over 66% of your capabilities on the streets. You only push it on a track.
