I'd LOVE to take the porshe and the ferrari for a spin...the prowler is a waste of time... 250hp, no stickshift available (only autostick)...

The porshe is probably like my ricer, but a MILLION times better... but its similiar size...

The ferrari is probably unlike anything i've ever driven....

I visit Vegas a couple times a year for trade shows. I typically rent a Harley for a half day and tour the Hoover dam area.

Rent a Porsche? - NOPE! They sound like a chainsaw :smash: :lol:

Prowler? No opinion, but if its a bargain......

The Ferrari? Forgive me - YESSSSSS!!! But just to know how the italian stallion behaves! It s a drill-mill like the Porsche, but its exotic.....

I like cubic inches - just look at my sig.! :jester

One of my friends went out last year and rented a Prowler for a day and a Z3, he got married and they were cheaper than a limo.

I rented a convertible jag for a day in Hawaii. It was a buck twenty five. That seems to be the going rate for lower end sports cars . Ferrari's and vipers and lambo's seem to demand a lot more.

It was a lot of fun and made gettin around that much more enjoyable! Plus, you can talk more :bs when you have firsthand experience!

I priced a prawler once out in california , near san fransisco.
typical rate were from $400-$450 a day
That was also the middle of the summer. (really in-season)

The Ferrari's and Lambo's have to be really really expensive to rent, they are in the thousands for one day and I'm sure you have to sign your life away in case you were inclined to rev 'em up a little. :D

Looks like a fun ride....... so do the cars. :eek: ;)
J/K I couldn't pass that one up.


In all seriousness, I would have to go for the Ferrari, but only if the C5's were all rented out. I have never been crazy about foreign cars, they sound like model airplanes. The looks of them have never really got me going either. Now the Corvette (meaning all years)......now that's a car! :D

I saw a similar place when I was in Hawaii a few years ago. They had a Ferrari 348 (both ragtop and berlinetta), a bunch of Porsches, a couple vettes, and a Lamborghini Diablo! The Diablo was under a cover in the back room...... :cool:
