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.

1. how much and where di you rent it from??

2. does she come with the rental?? 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

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

Are you sure about that foot brake? I can't see them installing that...
