Yes, right on. It felt like I was going fast as hell (really PUSHING the car!), and I was in a Grand Sport (drove all trim levels while there) and was upset that the ZR1 ahead of me was getting away. I thought *CRAP!* I am not able to keep up. My car needs more power.
Then I realized the instructor leading us was in a stock Camaro SS with PS2's on it and I had not caught him--or the ZR1 following him--yet. It was a very humbling experience and I learned a ton about driving there.
