IMHO I think you would benefit more on getting an instructor at an hpde (Trackmasters,hooked on driving, etc.) to learn both the concepts and apply it your own car, that way you get the practice and muscle memory along with the feedback from the car.
I would agree... you already own a great car, why not have fun with it? Even taking it to an autocross for some relatively safe fun will be a great experience and directly applicable to you learning how to control YOUR car in everyday driving and emergency situations.
