Title: First time on a road course today and drove some Italians
Post by: donky4444 on June 28, 2014, 08:26:37 PM
I got to do 3 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ferrari 458 today. Xtreme Xperience was at Gingerman raceway in South Haven MI. It was so awesome to get to push cars like this on a track. I've never driven on a road course before and it was my first time driving a super car. Such a great time and well worth the money.

That looks like a great time.  What's something like that cost?

The 458 was $325 with insurance and taxes and the Lambo was $245. Not cheap for just 3 laps but it was so worth it to me.

Nice, I'd pay that for sure!  What top speed did you hit?

118 in the 458 and 110 in the Lambo.

Check out their website and see if they are ever at a track near you.

Had a little fun with a 458 last night, unfortunately I wasn't driving or riding in the Rarri....

The 458 is deceptively quick. Unlike the 16m which roars to let you know.

It's been my favorite car ever since it came out

The 458 and 16M are stablemates. Couple pics of them in for a cleaning.

My wife got me this as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. We flew to Las Vegas to Exotics Racing. She had the Ferrari Italia 458 picked out for me with 5 laps. One of the best experiences of my life! That car flew and handled like it was on rails! Well worth it! Congrats OP.

Looks like you had a good time, but, how could you not? Glad you were able to do it. Now, when does the SHO make it for a track day????

Without a Willwood brake kit she will never see a road course.
