No matter what you drive, it's still not hard to be better than all the people who stall traffic because they don't realize they can squeeze through a gap about 4 feet wider than their car so we can actually pre fill the turn lane while the light's red.
Nor is it hard to actually know to accelerate smoothly through a turn instead of braking through it.
Or to know how to just stay in your clearly marked turn lane during your turn (literally marked through the entire intersection) instead of cutting off the other two turn lanes (this happened to me yesterday).
None of these things are actually much harder to do in a large car than a sports car, just obviously your actual speed and acceleration should change based on your car, tires, and everything else. I use the same principles I use when driving a fun car to help drive safely when it's a minivan.
