I have. Drove the 458 italia for two sessions and did the drift ride along. What a great time! They let you push the car pretty hard. Better than I was expecting

Nope but we did this...

Rented a 458 for 6 hours. Best part about the whole thing was the sound of it. Having a boosted Z the speed did not overly impress me much. But the sound was amazing.

I would say its worth doing at least one time. My dad and I plan on going back to drive the Aventador as I am trying to convince him to purchase one. LOL

1. We got it from these guys -> Las Vegas Exotic Car Rental - Vegas Luxury Rides. It was ~1200 for 6 hours or 100 miles. A little pricey, but the real kicker was you were not allowed to rev it over 8500rpm if I remember correctly. Which is a shame because that is where the engine really comes to life. Probably wouldnt do anything like that again for that reason alone. I would however consider a track day like was mentioned in this thread.

2. haha. Depends how much you're willing to pay. :tup:

The italia redlines at 9K so your not missing that much power just an even better sound. They make you short shift the car a little at the track day as well but you can flog it in the corners which is what that car is truly about anyways

Wonka2581 01-16-2014 05:17 PM

Very ture, And how the hell would they know if you redline it?? Hell drive it like you stole it..:icon17:

There is an instructor sitting passenger during the runs. He has a foot brake and I assume would grab the wheel if things get messy but he never stepped in with me driving. They tell you when to shift on the straights and such although after a few laps I was always a step ahead of the guy so he stopped wasting his breath. Lol. As I said, they do let you push the cars pretty hard and I liked the layout of the track. Even the "discovery lap" the guy was hucking that Cayenne pretty good. All in all a great experience

Mitco39 01-16-2014 05:24 PM

Well the guy said when he handed us the keys that every time you go over the 8500rpm its a $2500 bill. Needless to say I didnt want to find out if he was bluffing or not. haha.

This is pretty cool, always thought about doing it but it seemed a bit pricey for me

exsanity 01-23-2014 12:09 AM

I think I'll do this just for a chance at one of these supercars. :drool:

Pintsize725 01-25-2014 06:25 PM

I bought a 3 lap run on an autox course for my hubby. He enjoyed it and I was jealous.

I'd give him the keys back, tell him to fúck off and die, and write him a bad review as well as a bad review from my friends' accounts
