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 MeHey, I'm James!
The first car I drove was stick ever since I knew stick was the way to go. There’s nothing more enjoyable to me than driving a manual transmission car. I like to feel like I’m control of my driving completely. All the cars I have own have all been manual. I enjoy seeing other people drive stick because these days it’s not a common thing anymore. Manual cars are dying as days go by, not to many of them are out there nor are being driven. That’s why I’m motivated to teach it to the remaining people who still want to be part of the stick shift community and want have an enjoyable and fun time driving. I have taught many friends and family how to drive. I have experience with small vehicles to trucks as well. I’m looking forward to teach as many people as possible to keep the manual cars on the road. |
