ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 So my girlfriend has very kindly bought me a track experience for christmas after alot of hinting . I have the choice of choosing the following -Ferrari 360 -Ferrari 355 -Lamborghini Galardo -Audi R8 -Aston martin DB9 -Aston martin vantage Now personally I have always been passionate about Ferraris and the 360 is up in my top 10 Ferrari's, BUT I have also always been fond of the boldness of the Lamborghini and this has lead me to be unsure as to which car to pick to drive. The problem is that all of my judgement comes down to spec sheets in which the Lambo wins and down to looks/style in which the Ferrari wins. So basically I'm asking for some opinions based on people experiences of doing these track experiences before and which car is best, but even if you have not done one before your opinions are still welcome.

Josh Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?227518-My-day-of-driving-supercars I put short reviews of each on there The DB9 was my favourite. Didn't enjoy the 360 all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 don't know where yet i need to ring to get a track list. and thanks for that i will take a look at the reviews now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 don't know where yet i need to ring to get a track list. and thanks for that i will take a look at the reviews now No worries. They didn't let me drive them hard but £360 for all 4 cars is a pretty good deal to drive supercars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 your lucky I only get to drive one but she paid no where near that so understandable really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The Ferraris are fun but not the most enjoyable. I drove a 360, Gallardo, R8, V8 Vantage and a 911 C4. The Aston and the R8 were the best IMO..!! H, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 When I had my track day I found the lambo had a much better sound track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 your lucky I only get to drive one but she paid no where near that so understandable really At Everyman Racing (where I went) you could buy 4 laps in any car for like £55 so take some money with you if you want to drive more. When I had my track day I found the lambo had a much better sound track The Gallardo was the only one with the roof down and it sounded so damn nice! Edit: Also spectators can pay to drive whilst there so take some mates if they'd want to drive one. Or don't and get all the glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Maby it will have to be the lambo then, still not sure tbh but it looked fun on the video although you can't really open it up you did get to touch over the 100's in the vids so its not a complete sunday drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've driven all 3 of the below off the track, taken them on long weekends drives. -Lamborghini Gallardo -Audi R8 -Aston martin DB9 I'd go with the Audi R8 (If it is a manual or the V10 version), Gallardo is nice but I didn't find it soul stirring enough compared to the R8 and the likes of the Ferrari F430. Remember though you won't get to push it much round the track, so go with something which will sound tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thats what i was thinking and I have always been a fan of ferrari and the raw of their engines that another reason why I am having trouble between the two. The R8 are lovely and have seen a few and sat in one and they just don't seem to have the passion of the italian super cars, although the last one i saw i heard it redline through the gears at it sounded great.

Trust me, my mates had to pull me out to get back in the Gallardo after I drove the R8 for a while, although it was a manual the box was brilliant, the noise was just something else and it handled really well! Felt more raw than the Gallardo to be honest. If you have a thing about Ferrari's then go for the 360, they sound awesome. Go for the F355 if you fancy your chances, never driven one but heard they are a great drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think the Lambo would be my choice. What ever you pick i hope you have a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks for the advice abz I will keep your advice in mind, and I probably wounldnt pick the 355 due to me being rather tall and not sure how well I will fit plus I prefer the 360 Even though the 355's are supposed to be amazing from what I have heard. Suprab1 thanks I'm sure it will be great I mean fast cars, and a track, got to be good! unless I crash lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I didn't take out the insurance when I did mine. In the briefing, the guy said that someone had gone off the track the week before and hit a rock and caused £25,000 worth of damage underneath the 360. Apparently he took the insurance out so it was ok. I suggest you take it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If you've always wanted to try the Ferrari, then don't pass up this chance despite what anyone thinks is the best car to drive. If you don't, you'll still always wonder if you'd have preferred the Ferrari over whatever else you might choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
