the fun part is when you decide it's time to learn street racing. you'll need to learn power shifting. that's where you keep your right foot planted on the accelerator while you QUICKLY depress the clutch pedal,shift,release clutch pedal and hope your shift was completed. just great fun. also good for learning the art of working on clutch assemblies and transmissions.
practice, practice, practice. suggest you DO NOT use your father's car if you want to remain on speaking terms with him. save money for inevitable adventures with your local police department official.
also a great way to lose your driver's license.
ok, best to just forget street racing.
I think I forgot street racing long before I was born. Cars generally don't interest me except as a means to an end. It feels good to overcome the challenge involved in driving a stick, but again, the car is serving as a means to end in that situation. I'm sure street racing is a great challenge, but not one I have any interest in undertaking. I'll stick to higher mathematics and other academic things i'm weak in if I really want a major challenge.
