No I'd totally Steve it! Seriously though, I don't push my car anywhere near it's limits. I know I don't have the driving skills to handle it, but I'm definitely working towards improving them. Would it be any different to start doing HPDE's in a 5.0 vs a 370Z? Regardless of the car, I'd be going at a pace that I feel comfortable in until I know I can go faster.

It can be. 5.0 (with Brembo package) is more neutral with a bias to oversteer. 370Z has a lot of understeer from the factory. A newb would be more likely to spin the 5.0 than the 370.

Must have experience with oversteer if you plan to Steve it.

An understanding of low grip surfaces is also preferred.

That's where I would have to follow what the instructor says carefully.
