If you haven't had professional "high performance driving" instruction then that should be your first "mod" for your car. Forza and Gran Turismo don't count.

I can't speak for Forza, but:
This.
But seriously, he's right. If you have no experience driving, and want to spend money on upgrading your car - whether it be tires, intake, exhaust, turbo, whatever - you should seriously invest in a driving school or a few HPDE events with instruction first.
I learned to drive on a RWD car that had no "nannies" and I can't imagine trying to drive with them on. Even in critical situations, I find they're FAR more intrusive than helpful to an experienced driver. I've even had them cause a crash that would have been otherwise avoidable (due to them not letting me apply throttle since the car was sliding on an icy road, just barely clipped a pole which could have been avoided had the car not taken control).
Learning to drive with the assistance of DSC, and TSC, and VSC, and whatever other *SC's they put on cars leads to bad habits. You can't rely on the computer to save your ass. Be a better driver first.
