Agreed! Though it's fast its a great car to instruct in -- you can feel everything from the right seat.
Todd and I have spent a lot of time driving lower HP cars and they are so much easier to drive because the throttle becomes an on/off switch. A high HP car is difficult because you are always modulating the throttle -- one more thing to worry about. You always have to think how much to put in, where in a low HP the only question is do I go full throttle here, or 5 feet past? Actually it becomes an obsession -- Can I really take South Bend at VIR flat (140 hp Integra)? I think I can but I haven't had the guts to do it....yet.
Todd -- I'm looking forward to driving both the Acura and 996 at Shenandoah. The Acura is running very nicely and I'm planning to have the second seat in.
