True. But for what must be liability concerns, these NASCAR driving schools offer watered-down race cars that have only about 600-650 hp. At least this is what was told to my class before we took the ride of our lives. We were also told that the cars were former "Nationwide" competitors which probably have fewer ponies under the hood among other differences.
