Just to be clear, I'm in no way objecting to Mike's mom coming out and having fun with us. I'n just being overly cautious, and I don't think that's something to apologize for in a high-speed environment.

Was she hot?
No seriously, I do understand exactly what you are talking about. As one of the lead instructors for the Quattro club I am often paired with some of the slowest, and most scared drivers, as well the fastest and scariest drivers in the novice groups.
All I am trying to convey is that the car is basically a non issue, it is the driver you should be wary of. (Surely not Mike's mom though
) An inexperienced driver in a small underpowered car, say an RS
who thinks they can drive is much more of a risk to you as a fellow driver on the track, than an inexperienced driver who knows that and wants to learn in a viper, hummer, bulldozer, steam roller, tank, etc...
If there had been a competent instructor in the car you describe at Buttonwillow, you would not have given the Viper a second thought. If the same driver had been in a geo metro, you would probably still have needed to be wary of them...
Your calculus teacher and I are probably a lot alike, just trying to pound some information into you little whipper snapper's heads. (Say that last part with your lips over your teeth.)
