other car you drive.

I would think this would be mandatory for the first time buyer of some ultra high performance car like a Porsche, Ferrari, AMG Mercedes, to get real benefit out of it, but it would be a great investment for ANY driver that owned ANY car.
Best advice in the thread. Even if not Bondurant, several performance driving courses are available from places like the SCCA (scca.org), NASA (nasaracing.net), BMW club, Porsche club, etc.. When I started autocrossing, my times would drop several seconds each time I went. When I got good enough as a driver (at least a season) to start getting stuff on the car, they improved my times by tenths of a second.
