Just booked the Lamborghini Aventador

[julius]

I remember being the passenger in a Mustang once, back in the early 90s, driving in the Gorge. My brother got tired of some guy in a Honda tailgating us. He was pissed because it was some POS Honda, and the guy thought he was cool or something. So just as my brother was getting irritated, the car in front of us pulled over and we were off.

The speedometers on those things only go up to 85, but the thing was pegged. We were easily doing 100+.

After what seemed to be forever (but was probably just 30 seconds), a guy well ahead of us pulled his car over into the fast lane and my brother had to slow down. And finally we got back to normal speed and came up to an overpass, just as a sheriff was pulling onto to the highway.

My brother was lucky the guy in front of us pulled over when he did, or he would've gotten a hefty ticket. On the bright side, never saw that twerp in the Honda again.


Now that we're both MUCH older, (I must've been 19?) neither of us are willing to do something stupid like that again. Of course, having a family changes people.

Which car did you like the best?

Which car did you like the best?

The Lamborghini super was the best ride because it had a ton of power and the all wheel drive seemed more natural to control. The down side was it was so hard to get into. The seating is really uncomfortable because the seats weren't adjustable and I hit my head getting in and out. I don't think I could drive long distances in it.

The R8 was probably the best overall experience for me. It was really comfortable to drive and seemed like the power combined with comfort was good. It was just really easy to drive.

The Ferrari F430 scuderia had the best sound. The power seemed really good; but the loudness made it feel like you were going much faster than you really were. It was the touchiest drive and the rear wheel drive made it a little harder to have control around corners. It was the hardest to control for me.

My nephew drove the Mercedes SLS AMG and said it was the funniest drive for him. He is 6'2" and said it was the most comfortable car. He said it had the best handling for him.

He drove the SLS, Nissan GTR and the same Lamborghini superleggra. He said the Nissan GTR was the worst drive. Both of us got our best time on the Lamborghini superleggra.

I drove 165 in my Mercedes E63 on the freeway and it drove really smooth. I only did it once. If you have a couple mile straight away; anything with +500 horse can get you there. The rest is the automaker and how they build the vehicle. I suspect the S63 (537 HP) would probably get there as well, but I don't want to open it up.

Sounds awesome.

The same outfit does this exotic driving experience out in Orlando. I'm going to do it when we're at Disney World in October. I booked the Audi R8. I'm glad to hear you liked that car.

The r8 was really nice. They put effort in comfort as well as performance. The others were mainly "performance" and little effort to comfort.
