I can assure you, it is, but it does NOT belong on a public highway!

I am a high-performance driving instructor - have driven all of the "super cars" at speeds equal to that - but on a private race track.
We would like to think that if we have any experience with a high-performance vehicle we can handle any situation - but we can NEVER anticipate what any other driver (or animal) may do on the road ahead of us.

So, sign-up for the chance to do a "High Performance Driving Experience" at a race track near you - but don't do it on the road, please!
