Always allow enought sropping distance in front of you so that you never have to panic stop. If you stop as short as these cars are capable, the car or truck behind you will hit you hard in the rear and probably be in your back.

Just because you have the horsepower to weight ratio does not mean that you have to use it. In fact, you know that you have it and have nothing to prove by using it inappropriately. Learn to control the car through throttle control. If in doubt, accelerate only on the straight. On a curve, the back end can alway break loose. Watch for light rain condition, the car can get very loose.

In driver's school, they teach that 80% of driving is vision and anticipation. Look ahead. Anticipate. Alway have an out for every driving situation. Assume that the other guy will screw up and be prepared to act. Do not over react. Get to know you car and how it behaves. Assume that everyone is looking at you and not where they are going. Be prepared. Remember that Cobras bite. Alway respect your car. Treat you car well and you will live long and prosper.
