I've got a company "party" trip to Vegas next month, and the wife and I were thinking about renting a sports/exotic and going for a nice day drive around the Vegas area. Anybody got any suggestions on where to drive, I'm guessing around Lake Mead, anywhere else, or any specific roads?
Also, opinions on what car to play with: Lotus Elise: $188/day Porsche Cayman S: $295/day C6 Vert: $188/day C6 Z06: $445/day Viper GTS: $379/day Ferrari 348 Spider: $550/day I'm seriously thinking the Elise, Viper GTS, or Cayman S. I've owned a C5 Z06, so the Vettes aren't really that big of a draw for me, and while I'd love to drive a Ferrari, the 348 is a little old and $550/day is kind of expensive (and the other Ferraris and Lambos are just insanely outrageous ($1,000+/day)). We might even do two cars so we could trade off during the day, so maybe the Elise and the Viper? We figure we'd get a lot more fun out of something like this than blowing the same amount of money in a Casino. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The Elise is NOT a car to go cruising in. At least, not for me. I've driven a friend's a few times. They're plenty of fun, but not a cruising machine. Kinda loud inside, A/C doesn't blow hard (so I imagine the heat doesn't, either), and they're just like a go-kart. Plus, they don't have good visibility.
The people that rent the Vettes and Vipers are going to rag them out. I would! The Ferrari is too expensive for a >14 year old car. I'd say the Cayman is your best bet, by far. Looks just like a 911, so you've got that "Porsche look". And, a 10:1 wt/hp ratio is nothing to sniff at. Plus, you'll get a car that is no older than 2 years old. |
