Lot’s of fine print, hidden “fees”, etc…

I wound up pulling out. Fuck that.

I’m pissed…it sounded awesome.

:bigtdown:

One review…“On top of the additional costs issue, the drive itself is done in a small parking lot. I doubt you can get to 40 MPH.”

I’d be willing to bet you’d have way more fun going to an SCCA autocross in your own car than you ever would at this event.

Is that a torque typo? I think my Audi has more torque than those 2 cars combined. Lol

True. I was thinking the made a course in the lots across the street.

What a kick in the balls.

an average used 360 is around $65,000 now. that’s a lot of money for three laps( each lap is under a minute)

@LUKE_L just come to TMP one night with us for lapping. You’ll have way more fun.

that does suck =(. but how often do you get to drive a lambo

I think that is a great idea. Thanks Josh.

I was hoping to get my Fiancé behind the wheel of something…she would have loved this. But, I’ll bring her anyways!!!

100 bucks for less than 3 minutes of driving? No thanks…

I drove a Gallardo, it did not blow me away…

$100 is totally worth it if you could drive it like your car at an autocross.

$1000 “fine” for going past 6500 rpm, $1000 for any “damage” scratch, cone mark, ding, http://media.wix.com/ugd/c0a79a_36858193fd18489b933787d019eba152.pdf

Or you can pay liability waivers.

If you could actually wind the car up, $100 for 3 autocross laps behind the wheel of either of these cars would be a great deal.
But if they are going to charge $2000 for going over 6,500 rpms, an extra $150 for a “gratuity” and another $150 in fees its suddenly not worth it.

A real auto x course will top you out around 60mph max, but due to the tightness of the course and constant manuvers, you are still on tee edge of the cars abilities.
it sounds like these guys scare the shit out of you with threats for bumping a cone, and set the course up to be super slow, with narrow lanes, and reduce you to the equivelent to a test drive like at the erie county fair.

had potential, could have been a great value, but of course its just another money grab that only delivers dissapointment.
