​Level 3

Advanced Techniques Focus

  • Perfect for: New Stick Shift Drivers who will drive vehicles over 300 Horsepower after taking the lesson
  • Caution: This is not an advanced racing or track skills class. This is designed for people who are brand new to driving stick shift vehicles.
  • Level 3 is where you get prepared for the power and sensitivity of sports cars and heavy duty trucks. The basic mechanics of a 250+ vehicle are the same, but the big difference is in pedal control. You’re going to need precise shifting, RPM management, and power management so that you protect your clutch when getting the lead out. But even more important is managing all of that power at low speeds. Feathering into a parking spot can be tricky when you have a massively powerful engine under the hood. Your instructor will pay extra attention to pedal control, focusing fine foot control and feathering the clutch so that you maintain smooth and steady control at low speeds. The last thing you want to do is accidentally lurch forward and scratch your bumper. 
  • NOTE: This lesson is usually taught with a vehicle that has LESS than 250 horsepower. The core focus of this course is repetition and practice of the maneuvers that are difficult for new stick shift drivers if they drive a powerful sports car AFTER the lesson. Learning these skills does NOT require use of a powerful car. 
  • This lesson plan typically takes about two to four hours to complete, though some students finish sooner.
