I did it in 2011 on the old track. My wife and I both drove the 458, Scuderia, Murcielago, and Superleggera. It was a great experience, and they really pushed us to get the most out of the cars. My wife spun out in the Murceilago, and I was able to get some power-on oversteer in it, which is a testament to the speeds and forces they let you achieve.
I was a Ferrari guy before this experience. The 458 was fun, but in my experience it understeered a LOT. Maybe the tires were worn. They had it set to the mildest settings I'm sure. What really impressed me was the Superleggera. I've never driven anything that cornered like that, and it kept up with the Murcielago on the straights easily. The Murcielago was heavy, and it did not like trail braking. The Superleggera was forgiving, but scalpel quick reflexes and it felt like it could read my mind.
Overall, great experience. I agree with those that said to buy more laps. At 5 you are just starting to get warmed up to the car. By 10 or 15 you are getting the most out of the car and the instructor will be familiar with your driving enough to let you go 10/10ths of your ability.
And finally, most impressive to me, is that they were awesome about letting me sit in any of the cars, take pictures, and really make the most of the experience.
