| I'd like to learn to be a better driver and never end up in a video like that Mustang turd. Any schools to avoid or ones that have a good reputation / you personally have taken and would recommend ? |

Autocross is a great way to learn car control btw. It is also extremely fun and cheap.
Run what you brung' too, as long as it can be classed. Just need a legal helmet, license and a well kept automobile. SCCA Solo - http://www.stlscca.org/ http://www.kcrscca.org/ |

Take this class if you want to be a better driver and ..... Learn how to bump, crash and evade. I try and do it every 5 years.

If that's all you seek, class is in session. 1. Don't buy ford. 1A. Especially don't buy a mustang. 2. Think of the throttle is a infinite, not momentary switch. 3. If you feel the tires breaking loose, reduce the power level via the aforementioned switch. 4. Countersteering. 5. Don't buy ford. Class dismissed. |

| In New Hampshire, they have Team O'Neil Rally School for learning off-road car handling skills. They realistically mostly train government, military, and law enforcement, but all the classes are open to civilians as well. You'd have to take a multiday (3+ days) course to really get enough out of it, though. |

OP, if you're in Missouri as your profile indicates then I'd check out Skip Barber.

An Arfcommer is more likely to be the mustang turd. |

Thanks for all the advice, the one day Skip Barber class looks like the best starting point for me.  Do it. This kind of thing seems expensive on the surface (not that you've mentioned cost as a factor, but just from my own experience) and it is a commitment. It's certainly much easier just to throw parts/money at a car and not worry about the driver, but that's the wrong approach. "Driver mod" is where it's at. Consider it an investment and enjoy the ride - you will not regret it (well, in the end your wallet might, but you won't  ).
