I don't test drive dealership vehicles, I test drive my buddies' cars the only dealer car I test drove was this one.


There are lots of us younger folk on here than I thought. I used to think a large majority of members on here were in their 30s or more. What does that say about us...

 

Well i test drove a FRS & it was fun but lacking in power

 

My exact words. :p

Would be a great car with about 50 more HP

 

Thing handled great i think the STi turbo 2.5 in it would be great

 

Fastest car I've driven is a 430 Ferrari, followed by a Lambo Gallardo.

 

GTA doesn't count

 

Proof what?

Have vids too.

Receiving instruction on vehicle controls prior to taking off:







This is full throttle around a small road course. One of only a handful of pictures actually driving it- the rest are videos:



I was faster in the Lambo, but the Ferrari was definitely more fun to drive. Overall, I just like the way it performed better.


Some interior pics of a cool interior. Unfortunately, I didn't get to drive this one:

 

Sick pics! Jealous!

 

Holy...

I 100% thought you were full of it. How did you manage to drive not one but BOTH of those?!

 

Anybody can do it, and its not too expensive either:

RACING SCHOOL, Exotics racing school is the ultimate driving experience at Las Vegas Speedway with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.

It's located in Vegas at the motor speedway. Starts at about $250 for 5 laps for any of the decent cars- and they've got all kinds of stuff- a Porsche, Aventador, 430, 458, AMG SLS, the new Mclaren, etc- and you get to push them as hard as you want for those laps (they start you off with about 15 minutes in a classroom, followed by 2 laps riding shotgun an a Porsche SUV with an expert driver to get a feel for where you should be lined up on the different corners- so you're not a total noob when you go out the first lap).

Wish I would've had more time set aside, as I only had time for the 2 cars (plus my wife did a ride-along with an expert driver drifting around the course in a Lambo Superleggera).

Definitely plan to hit this place up next time I go back to Vegas to try out a few more cars.


There is another place in the same complex called 'U Drift' where they teach you how to drift with a bunch of beat up 240s and such. Looked like a lot of fun too- but we just didn't have enough time available to do that too, and it sure sounds a lot cooler saying you went to Vegas and drove a 430 rather than a 240, lol.


One of my other big car driving experiences happened on a Vegas vacation too. GM had the prototype of their theme park 'The Drive' set up behind Sahara, and you could drive any 2 cars for $10. They had an off road course for the trucks/Hummers (which was way cooler than I thought)- plus a very short road course for the performance cars to race around full throttle (vette, solstice, STS-V, CTS-V, SSR, etc).

If I would've known that the plans were going to fall through for the full theme park, I would've spent the whole day there beating on the cars for cheap.

Kinda funny- my wife and I actually made money going to this. I went 3 times ($30 total), and she went twice ($20 total)- and we each got $50 cash for participating in their research group thing for the full theme park for about 45 minutes.

Too bad it never went through- that would've been cool:

Not my videos, but gives you a little idea of what the off road course was. Definitely seems way crazier inside the truck:
