They only have 3 cars right now, a 911 turbo, Corvette Grand Sport, and a Challenger R/T and I think they are all auto.

A nice used 911 turbo cabriolet is what, about 60k (just looked on ebay quick)? So he needs 171 rentals before he breaks even on purchasing one, and that’s assuming zero maintenance, repair, insurance or other expenses (a huge assumption based on how a lot of people are going to treat a rented 911).
My guess is this business lasts less than a year in WNY, especially considering our short nice car seasons.
The type of person that is going to spend $600+/day to rent a car is going to have enough money to have one of their own at home and won’t give a shit about driving their mile’d out rentals.
I have several out of town customers who keep cars here for when they come to town. When they do rent, they rent premium luxury. Typically town cars. For short trips they sometimes will hire a driver.
We don’t have the mentality to rent exotics. Not what we’re used to. That said, I hope they do well.
