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.

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..

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.

raymondo510 · 01-22-2014, 11:16 PM

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.

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
