652 HP is so far beyond what a recreational tracker could ever use it is ludicrous. May as well call it a Callaway Coffin for anyone stupid enough to turn off the traction control. I sure as hell would never right seat a student in one.
Instead of the same old "buy a cam!" BS, people would be far better served (for a lifetime) to invest instead in a multi-day driving school. On a road course, you can't buy skill and lap times, they're earned.

OK, but what about us folks that are already in the intermediate or advanced run groups and earned the know how to handle this amount of HP? The ones who are passing Spec Miata's in our Bolt on Camaros? Do we not deserve the opportunity to have this as an option so we can go out and have some fun with our friends with their GT3's and GTR's?
Please do not pigeon hole all of us, not that you were, and let some of us big dogs hunt. Of course those of us in this class would prefer to stay NA and on the Road Course. But an occasional trip to the Drag Strip, just to see what it would do, probably would not be out of the question. With the right tires of course.
BTW, if you are running into the rolling chicane in your HPDE maybe look into running with another group. And for the comment that you would not right seat a student in one well then maybe you should not be right seating at all. A good coach on track can be much better hands on than a multi-day driving school if you can find them.
This is not meant as a dig, merely an observation.
