Thanks Johnny! B-Day is not until June, They scheduled the event in April due to XX schedule, and told me about it last night so that I wouldn't schedule anything for that day! I am really looking forward to it!

That's going to be one heck of a birthday present. Your family sure knows how to pick a present.

As requested:
McLaren 570S; lots of fun to drive. very predictable. OK transmission, MUCH better that the Lambo. A little under powered IMHO.
Lambo Hurrican; Sweet V-10 sound, felt LOTS heavier than the McLaren, needed to preload the front end to get it to want to turn in, without a doubt the worst transmission of the bunch. I know there are lots of Lambo fans, but I really didn't think much of this one.
Ferrari 458 Italia; This is the one! There are simply not enough adjectives. It was by far the best of the three in every category. This was my first real experience with carbon carbon brakes, and after the first braking event (read - get a little heat into them) they were incredible! The only issue that I have, is how am I going to come up with the $240K that it takes to buy one!!!

Very cool Len, no doubt you had a BLAST and great report on the cars you drove!
Nothing like drive super fast cool cars in April, especially when the weather is perfect!
