Just took a modified Gallardo for 7 laps around the track

Im glad it was modified. Stock Gallardo's are so....325e-ish

I had an opportunity to drive a base 997.1 and that car gave me a shock (in a great way). I can't imagine what these exotics are like.

for my bday my girl got me to drive a ferrari 430 or something like that in vegas. it was cool just driving it around but so many precautions with driving a exotic car. i didnt track it but i took it pretty fast in a straight away. its real fast and stops real good.

[Mr. Burns]

So...almost as fast as an E30, or not so much?

Honestly, it was the same feeling you get when you touch your 1st boob...
It's the whole "ohhh THIS is what the fuss is about..."
I get it now.

To me super cars where just "meh" cool I guess...I owned a 470hp modes magnum hemi for a while...I thought that was fast.

These cars are not only stupid fast but are so raw it re-defines what I once considered driving excitement.

Don't get me wrong, I can have the same thrills in my e30, but with a car like this it just brings all your senses/g-forces/sounds/etc to next level.

And I know, as they say...ill be "chasing the dragon" for that "holyyyy shit" feeling I felt today...

So yes. These cars are like crack lol.

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing. Not kidding about the exhaust. Friend of mine used to have a modded Murcielago with straightpipes. You could barely hear yourself think under acceleration.

[Mr. Burns]

About the same as a tired m20b27.

Is this at summit point?

Was about to say, that Gallardo looks like the TT one from around here.

Different wheels though. Then again, all Gallardos look alike.

[N2MYE30]

Id do it for $125. Props to the mrs. :up:

[Mr. Burns]

It's not cheap, I get a kickback in my line of work.
You can do 3 laps(about 8 minutes) for about $125....

This was actually a gift from my wife, for 7 laps and a incar video.

The "coaches" you sit with take you in their car( I rode in the Ferrari) and they show you the lines, where I brake, apex a corner etc.

Afterwards coaches sit in passenger seat and tell you when to brake. Otherwise it's abuse all you like. Their 1 rule is simply to keep it on the pavement and away from the walls.

Dunno what happens when you crash.
They had a Ferrari with a missing rear bumper in the pit area...so I guess it happens.

[flyboyx]

what does that cost? what happens if you wreck the car?

[Mr. Burns]

These brakes where intensely loud....they might of allready had them

Definitely doing this again tho...eyeing a Porsche this time around.

[Wh33lhop]

the brakes are insane on the gallardos. I think I got whiplash from when I raced it too.

Wait until you try something with carbon ceramics ;)

Hail would definitely explain the wheelspin. :)
