it was today and i got to ride in these cars- Lamborghini gallardo, Corvette Z06, Ford GT, Bentley Continental GT, and a Maserati Gran Sport. I got to DRIVE a ferrari f430! IT WAS INSANE! the setup was, there were 6 drivers, one for each car. The lead car was always the ford gt and it had the guy running it in the passenger seat. We went on a predetermined route with normal traffic, but everyone would gun it sometimes until we got to the freeway where it was flat out catch the gt. everyone was doin at least a buck 20 (the freeway was not crowded at all because it was 9 am). I got the f430 up to 140 before i shut it down and beleive me it got there very fast. The x06 was far faster than i expected but i did not get to drive it, my dad drove all of them except for the f430. I reccomend anyone who has the money, do it. It is really worth it. You have no idea how fast 0-60 in 3.5 seconds is until you feel it, it is REDICULOUS! i will post the videos and pics once i get them on my computer.

exactly, but it kinda ruins the bond you have with the car you actually own. My car feels like a min-van now. I need a turbo kit or something.

I'd be nervous to participate to be honest since I'm sure theres a "you break it you buy it" policy. Crashing a quarter million dollar Ferrari is a far cry from knocking over a tea cup in Macy's.

They have insurance. You really arent supposed to drive the cars unless you are 25, but my dad is trying to work out a deal with them to buy one of their cars(the maserati coupe) when they switch to another model, which they do frequently so the cars stay "new," so they let me drive one because they knew he was good for the money if anything happened and there was pretty much nobody else on the road. If you are 25+ i highly reccomend doing this, it is an AMAZING experience. Plus, you can bring your kid as a passenger for free! I have to say, although i loved driving the f430, the ford gt was probably the most amazing car ever and you should definately drive it last if you do it because if you dont the other cars may dissapoint.
