Make sure you practice a little in a parking lot first. I was talking with a guy over on NCO that almost took out a median when he first took a turn. He said that they made that much of a difference. Granted, that was a couger and I'm not sure of his driving abilities. I'd still rather screw-up in an open parking lot than off and into a ravine.
I've been driving around w/ them for about a month now so I have a good feel for what they are doing. I will have a co-pilot with me (my wife ) so I'm sure I won't even come close to reaching the limits of the handling. Note to self: find a local auto-cross event to attend.
