the first thing that i suggest is not to try and impress your friends with your new car as soon as you get it... i ve seen and i know mayny people who bought a very powerful car and totalled it within the first month of own it... (when i was 19-20 years old, now i am 28)...
as many people suggested, take the car to a nice track and find or hire someone to help you learn how to handle your monster...
