At this point I'm leaning toward the 458 or Aventador. For the purposes of this poll, only the cars in the list are available - Porsche 918 would be awesome, but isn't an option.

Keep in mind too that at Exotics Racing it costs more money to drive an Aventador for 5 laps ($499) than it does the 458 Italia ($399).

You can always pay more money for more laps too.

So, let's say you had a budget, would you pay more to drive the most insane car (Aventador) for fewer laps or a slightly more tame but still awesome supercar (458) for more laps?

More laps! Trust me, 5 laps will just about get you familiar with the track and warmed up. After that you will start laying down some decent times to build on

Yep, a cool car, but not one of the options...unless you can hook me up with a ride

Sure when I win 500 million in the lottery lol But I'll take the sexy F458 best looking exotic on that list.

Went there last year and drove the Gallardo and Vantage. I know most guys here would pass on the Vantage, but I did it to satisfy my inner James Bond

And honestly, I enjoyed driving the Vantage more than the Gallardo

The Vantage was more forgiving. It felt like it took more work to drive the Gallardo properly which cut into the fun factor. I only did 5 laps though, so maybe I would've gotten a better feel for the Lambo with more laps. But I felt comfortable in the Vantage after the second lap.

I'd love to get a Vantage as a daily driver

That would be sweet.

I thought the same about the Jaguar XKR-s after some time behind the wheel. That growl.
