Ditto.
My advice is buy a RWD manual car with some guts you like, and learn to drive it. Get out to track days, motorkhanas, etc. I'm by no means a skilled driver, but I've easily thumped much, much more powerful cars due to their lack of driving ability. Half of them spent bucket loads on the engine, and knew how to stomp the throttle, but when it came to braking and cornering all that power was actually more of a hinderance than help as they had no idea how to control it.
