My z06 is faster than your C172
I'm going to upgrade from Sport Pilot to Private Pilot, and had submitted a new student pilot application after my CFI said he talked to the FAA which directed that it was necessary.
I waited 4 weeks for it with no activity (see my wait time thread here), then called the FAA to see wassup.
They said no, you don't need another student pilot certificate. My application was basically "noted" in my file, no action would be taken from it. I ran it by AOPA airmen services too, they said the same. Here is the endorsement needed:
"70. To act as PIC of an aircraft in solo operations when the pilot does not hold an appropriate category/class rating: § 61.31(d)(2).
I certify that (First name, MI, Last name) has received the training as required by § 61.31(d)(2) to serve as a PIC in a (specific category and class of aircraft). I have determined that he/she is prepared to serve as PIC in that (make and model) aircraft. Limitations: (optional).

There is little to no help on this out on the interwebs, so hopefully this helps somebody. And shout out to user flyingRon for calling this correctly in the first place.

I do like your attitude.
