Has anyone taken an offensive driving course or maybe tried various maneuvers in their S550?

While I have no plans to intentionally shred my tires or screw up the suspension or anything else on my GT, I've wondered what the car was capable of performance-wise since I bought it.

After watching this vid today (even though they're using Fiestas)...

...now I'm REALLY curious.

Between the forward 180's, j-turns, and maneuvering quickly in reverse... has anyone had the ability to (safely) experiment or take a formal course with the S550? How did it perform?

Thanks

Have you ever actually tried shooting while moving?

Not as easy as Holywood makes it look. ;)

IDPA...google it.

This was supposed to focus more on the driving aspect given that this is a car forum. But feel free to focus on guns, that works to.:thumbsup:

People have spent tens of thousands on the S550 after the initial purchase. This includes parts and sometimes labor, insurance, countless hours at the track, constantly devoting attention to their car, autocross time, etc....


...and not a single person here has pulled a J-Turn in their S550??

I wasn't driving, but yeah. HMMWVs are probably easier to shoot out of than my mustang though. :thumbsup:
