I'm gonna do this on May 19th if I can. The Saturday after finals are over and the day before graduation. Can't think of a better way to end my undergraduate career than driving a Lambo/Ferrari around a race track, even if it is only for 2 laps. You also get a 2 lap ride around the track in a Cayenne with an instructor driving. Not much, but hey it's something :p

You got a GoPro to use?

Nope. It's on my list of stuff to eventually get :p

My sister wants to come with me to watch so she can probably make a video from the outside. Maybe I can borrow someone's GoPro to use for the car? I should probably contact them to see if we're even allowed to do so.

I have a GoPro, but its non-HD. You're welcome to use it none-the-less, though.

And I certainly don't see why it wouldnt be allowed.

Different strokes for different folks. But like everybody else except Shahid, its a complete waste of money to me. Like steve said, much better deal to spend 800 and rent one for an entire day.

I hope its worth it though for you Shahid.

Cool, I'll let you know if I need it.

I hope so too :tup:

Shahid, go have a blast!

lazywolfe 04-25-2012 01:02 PM

I'm figuring out how many laps to buy. I don't think see how it's a complete waste of money, but *shrug*.

4r3s 04-25-2012 01:34 PM

Its only a complete waste of money if you just bought a house and/or you have a ton of debt already. Shahid you're going to have a blast!

lazywolfe 04-25-2012 01:53 PM

Just bought some laps. Maybe we can make a mini meet out of this? Did you definitely sign up for the 19th Shahid?

Hope so guys! I've decided to pick the Lamborghini LP-560 as my exotic of choice. Should be fun. I've thought about actually buying that as my next car in a couple years, but buying a house probably kills that plan. At least I can enjoy it now :tup:

I think its a waste of money in the bang-for-the-buck perspective, is all. You can pay $99 to drive a car for a whole 2 minutes or so maybe, or $350 to drive your own car for almost 2 hours and actually learn something :-p lol

b1adesofcha0s 04-25-2012 04:50 PM

I think it's more about getting the experience to drive an exotic rather than trying to learn anything. Also another bonus is that it's not your own car that you're driving around the track.

Yeah I know - I suppose the allure of driving an exotic never really did it for me in the end. They're cool, but owning one and actually tracking it would require deep pockets I don't have, so I've accepted I wont ever bother lol

Exactly why I'm doing it now for like $150 even if it is just for 2 laps. I know for sure that whatever car I get next, I will be tracking it. Will most likely be a GT-R so it should be fun.

Honestly? I'd seriously recommend something cheaper. Its easier to learn to drive fast, in a slower car. You can get some crapbox Miata which all the parts will cost you jack diddly (ESPECIALLY tires), and not be afraid of putting it into a wall....much :-p

Seriously, just get one for 1 or 2 seasons, and it'll be a lot easier on you. My buddy's shitty integra can go 2 years on a set of tires, which cost him a whole 350-400 for a FULL SET lol. Thats like, ONE TIRE for us! :(. The GT-R would hurt even more...
