[QUOTE="mufflerbearing, post: 12857610, member: 140933"] It really comes down to attitude doesn't it? I had a student with a new vette there with his dad who was driving a CTSV. He wanted to dhow off for his dad and friends. Out. Of the gate he went 140 down the straight. It was the first time I had to put on a speed limit on a student. I did this by telling him that he couldn't use 4th gear. We focused on the line, but he just tried to go fast and was jerky. I told him to go over the perfect line In his head over and over again during lunch break. If he couldn't show me the perfect line, he would be going home and I would embarrass him in front of his friends. After lunch, he drove the perfect line. He said that it was boring. Yup, you are doing it right. I pointed out that if he didn't change a thing, he would catch the cars ahead in the next lap. He got it. He turned out being the student that grew the most in a single day and finally got that smooth is fast and maybe sometimes boring. [/QUOTE]
