Exotics Racing Vegas
I am going to be in Vegas and I think I am going to splurge and spend a few valuable mod $ on a track experience instead of on mods. 5 laps for $200.

Ferrari F430 F1
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
Ferrari 458 Italia

While I'll never own one (mainly due to cost to buy and maintain), I think I would choose one of the Ferrari models.

Dumb question maybe, but I wonder if all of these things are going to be paddle shift automatics? I'm not spending that kind of money to do that even though just to be able to go all out in a Ferrari, Audi ec. would be cool. Not sure if 5 laps are worth $250 in an automatic though. Maybe if the Casino tables are extra generous....

Listen I have done the Exotic racing and it is worth EVERY PENNY. Do the drive TWO for like 399 and pick two. You get 10 laps total.
I drove the GTR and I passed every ferrari, lambo, and audi out there on the track like they were sitting still. It is a black edition with 0-60 in 3.0 seconds. IT IS QUICK and I have a ls7 swapped c5(Had a 08 gen IV Viper for a few months too) so my car is no slouch either. Trust me that car is worth it.
I passed 6 cars in five laps with that car. I have never raced a track in my life and I know it was my car and instructor not so much my driving skills.
ALL CARS ARE PADDLE SHIFTS. they have a z06 that you can RIDE in and drift the track but the criteria for cars there is <1000000 dollars and have to have paddle shifts hence no zr1's or gt500's.

You sir are correct. Coming from someone who has been there....Statistically the only better car there is a porsche PTK and a lambo aventador.

I can't BELIEVE you people are saying 430 over the 458...that's a damn no brainer! The 458 is faster around some tracks than the Enzo!
Personally, even though I know your temptation is to drive the Ferrari's, I've driven the Testarossa, 355, 360 and 430....8 cylinder Ferrari's just don't do it for me. In addition, you are liable BIG if you damage one. So, in consideration of that, I'd drive the GTR. It's more sure footed, likely faster around that track than any of those Ferrari's, and cheaper to fix.
I'd rent the GTR and beat the **** out of it.

I wish I had that problem of not knowing what car to drive. None the less all those cars are amazing and well worth the 200 for the 5 laps.
But I'd go with one of the Ferrari models as stated above.
