Look at what I drove...

GS833 · 05-15-2007, 12:26 PM

Look at what I was driving two weeks ago around Lake Las Vegas roads...

Sorry about not being able to wipe the big ass smile off my face...

A Ford GT, Porsche GT3, Ferrari F430, Gallardo Spyder, Noble M400 and a Mercedes SLR McLaren...truly unbelievable experience.

tjnptel1 · 05-15-2007, 12:27 PM

from all those exotics, the SLR really stands out.

s4iscool · 05-15-2007, 12:29 PM

How much do the rentals run?

GS833 · 05-15-2007, 12:40 PM

It's an event put on by a company that owns the cars and goes around the whole country with them. Here's the site www2.wcdriving.com

ChadE · 05-15-2007, 12:58 PM

Iv seen it advertised in car & driver before....looks like hella good time

Dammmittt · 05-15-2007, 01:01 PM

If you could choose just one, what do you think your favorite car was?

ironjw · 05-15-2007, 01:20 PM

nice rides

STE92VE · 05-15-2007, 01:22 PM

You drove all of them???

GuillaumeSoete · 05-15-2007, 01:28 PM

Were you restricted to particular speeds? Did you had a walkie-talkie on the passenger seat with an instructor yelling to calm down? :-p

WCD's website clearly states that you are expected to observe all posted speed limits. Tickets are your responsibility.

Gosh...I know this sounds goofy but,...for a split second there, I thought the Porsche was a VW

- just not an attractive sports cars to me (sorry all you porsche owners, no offense meant). Everything else looks awesome. Which was your favorite...details, we want details!

Next time you may want to keep that to yourself fire

fire-n-ice · 05-15-2007, 03:11 PM

Oh c'mon Dammmittt!!!, if you look at that car for a split second, it does look like a newer model beetle lol

. Well, to me anyway...hey, everyone else expresses their opinions about what cars look like, why can't I? Huh? How come, why not?

fizzle · 05-15-2007, 03:50 PM

no it doesnt look like a VW one bit. i think you are just trying to start up some trouble! lol. beautiful selection of cars.

jonerik26 · 05-15-2007, 04:06 PM

The Noble M400 was basically a race car, unbelievable performance, real fun to drive.
The Ford GT felt really strong and responsive, very interesting car. Very low and tight seating position.
The Lamboghini was the best all-around car, great looks, great performance, very drivable and by far best sound.
The Ferrari is a beautiful car, but I was not impressed by it as much as i was by the other. I guess my expectations were probably too high for that car.
The McLaren was the torquiest car I've ever driven, amazing power, looks and interior quality. The steering was way too touchy IMO.
My favorite car was the GT3, It was really responsive, tons of feedback thru pretty much every thing you came in contact with. The handling was great, very tight car.

fire-n-ice · 05-15-2007, 04:12 PM

No, really I'm not. Only in the first picture does it resemble a beetle for a split second. But I know they're a much loved sports car and meant no offense.
They are all beautiful cars. I would be honored to drive any of them.

fire-n-ice · 05-15-2007, 04:14 PM

GA833: sounds like some of the complaints I've read from others about BMW steering being too touchy, regarding the McLaren. Any comparison?

You're right, tickets are your responsibility and if you do something stupid you're on your own. But you can really open up the cars. They have a lead car that sets the pace, it's not slow at all, and most of the time we'd leave some good distance and rip it. The guys are really cool as long as you don't do anything stupid. They let you enjoy the cars and really drive them without being careless.
I drove every car for about 30-40 minute sessions and drove the Noble twice :rocks:

Dammmittt · 05-15-2007, 06:27 PM

I'd love to get my ass in a McLaren...been my dream car since I first saw it...and it still is...

Fire, it's ok...you're opinion is just different...cuz...well...you're female.

I'm sure the Porsche engineers would love to know that one of their flagship vehicles looks like a VW Beetle.

ROTFLMFAO
