Level 3
High-Power Vehicle Training
- Perfect for: Vehicles over 250 Horsepower
- 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, rev matching, 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 on toe heel 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.

About Me
Hi, I'm Luis,
I am an aspiring special education teacher who enjoys driving a manual transmission. Driving a stick shift is enjoyable and beneficial! Aside from being in control behind the wheel, manuals typically save gas, and have cheaper, faster, and easier repairs than an automatic! I've been driving a stick shift for 5 years. During, I have taught family and friends how to operate a manual transmission car. I know it can be frustrating at first, but I love seeing my students succeed in anything that I teach them! I have been in the classroom assisting students with special needs for 7 years. With that experience, I have learned to accommodate and modify tasks for any individual. I have also been a wrestling coach for 5 years. I believe patience and clear instruction make a good instructor. I love seeing my students and wrestlers succeed. |
