Message	1. Our engines don't like being pushed hard on long high g corners, unless you want to spend the money to put a drysump in your car. So wanting to find tracks where you can go 100mph through a corner may not be the best track to take the Z. 2. No corner has a set speed that "fast" cars will all take the corner at. What a stock Miata can do through a corner might be 10mph faster than a GTR. There are so many factors that go into actual corner speed. 3. You really shouldn't be looking at your gauges going through any corners anyway, that's what long straights are for. 4. Even if it is a lead follow track day, I guarantee it will still teach you a lot about the proper lines and how to drive your car. Start in the beginner classes and move your way up as the instructors say you're ready for. Other people will almost always find your flaws when it comes to driving on a track before you do. "Face it, you just can't beat stupid." "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" "My favorite glue is Hopes and Dreams. " "My Z runs on gas and money."
