Jesus Christ that's an asinine amount of power, I'm not sure if you're doing yourself any favors in the learning process department but it sure does look like a hoot. Stoked that you made it there and back on it's own power.

Tell me that vette is boosted. It seemed to be walking you in the straights at the beginning of the vid.

Haha no it was pretty stock I believe. He was downshifting to 2nd gear on the back straight and I was staying in 4th gear. It was 120 degrees on track so I didn't need to be downshifting just to blow another car for video purposes. I had a bunch of lag in 4th because I was at like 2,000 rpms when I hit it...listen to the video and you'll hear the car doesn't rev up until a bit down the straight.

The first scene of the whole vid you can see I'm flying up behind him when I was going all out.

I thought VIR was easier to learn than ACC...maybe because I was REAL slow back then. DB7 powah :!:

Yeah, I would've politely declined getting in your car. 600+whp, <3,000lbs, only a few hours of track time under your belt. Helllllll no. These instructors must not care for their lives. :shock:

I really hope you listened to your instructor. No offense, but a student that thinks they know more in a stupid fast car like your's is the reason I do not want to instruct anymore.

basing your line off the cars in front of you is a sure fire way to do everything completely wrong. You're mostly just missing apexes and not using enough of the track. More relying on your horsepower rather than using it.
