You have received some great advice here. Please listen and try an autocross (SCCA calls it Solo2). Driving as fast as you can around the cones will let you know what your car will do when the tires break loose. It is also great fun! I did a lot of adjustments and roll bar swaps between the events before I felt I could trust my car a little bit. Then, it broke and tried to kill me.
I also find that I can learn a lot in a hurry at a shopping mall parking lot in the middle of the night. A few hard figure 8's and then get out before the cops arrive.
