Congrats!
For straight line acceleration- Take it easy until you get good at holding the wheel real straight while the rears are spinning. If the back end wants to come around, you must steer a bit to stay on top of it. If you correct, do it early, and don't correct "wildly". (See snap understeer below) Lots of guys have gone all the way around without catching it. There are dozens of stories on this board of newbies who have wadded up their new prized possesion for lack of education and skill.
For cornering under power- Get familiar with the way the torque breaks the tires loose in a turn when you are gassing it. Feathering the throttle will "aim" the car, practice this. It tends to oversteer when you are on the gas if you are not riding the slide properly, so you must countersteer while feathering the throttle. At this time, if you get off the gas suddenly, the rears will bite, and the car will quit going sideways, or at least the rear end does! If you had the wheel turned opposite to "ride the slide", now after getting off the gas, (Or if you wanna shift up) the fronts, still in opposite lock from the power slide, will now steer you outside, changing the car's direction almost like a drastic understeer condition would, and you will head for the curb/tree/pole/wall/cliff. (Technically, this is not true understeer, since the car is actually just going the way the front wheels are pointed, but the effect is the same, in that the car goes towards the outside of the turn, like it does in a true understeering scenario. I call it "snap understeer" for this reason. I have heard others call it "snap oversteer", but this doesn't sound as correct to me, because true oversteer sends the car towards the inside of a turn, not the outside. And its not really oversteering at all when this happens, its just steering the way its pointed! Albeit suddenly! So its more akin to understeer than it is oversteer, hence "snap understeer") Don't get off the gas suddenly! Feather it! Get used to doing that at slower speeds, before you do it at higher speeds. Always practice in a wide open area with no cars, curbs, or other obstructions around.
*Disclaimer* For the anal, or "elderly" at heart among us, of course all this is done in a fully prepared car with a full roll cage, 6 point belts, fire suppresion, wearing a helmet, Hans device, and Nomex suit with integral arm restraints, on a closed race track with an experienced instructor instructing, attending ambulance and fire crews, outrigger training wheels, and giant marshmallows tied to the walls.
That oughta take care of the nanny whiners!
Have fun, but stay safe!
Of course I had just washed and waxed it so it was looking awesome..
