Default $495 for (3) 15 min sessions

Too high for me...but MAN would it not be a blast to at least drive one of these?

If it was the V8 I'd think about it...

If it was the V8 I doubt many of us mortals could keep it on the track

It's a bit spendy but not unreasonable considering they are supplying the car.

Heck, those NASCAR experience things are $500 just to drive a few laps!

Yep. My dad did one years ago that was about $800 iirc.

Just looked up the Richard Petty Experience:
$449 - $549 depending on what track.

Wow - that's REALLY tempting, I may do that later this year!

The coolest & most thoughtful present I ever received was a day driving 6 supercars (Ferrari F430 & 612, Lambo Gallardo, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB7 & Vette Z06). It was thru 'Players', an exotic car rental place - http://www.playersrental.com/ I don't they're doing the traveling multi-car thing anymore - it was on public streets, and I'm surprised nobody got arrested! I wish I could rewind my life back to that day.

If I was considering buying one, I'd definitely want to be on track for the test drive. It'd be worth the cost to me.

A little now or a lot later.
