exotic supercar racetrack experience in LA
 
So near my 21st birthday, I'll be visiting my sister in california. I had a nice thought, while im down there i might as well go to LA and spend some bucks for a really fun driving experience. My budget is $400.

Which car (or two car combo) should I choose?

I may or may not work there. Instructors work for tips.

$400 budget? I recommend you spend a little more and do the Superleggera, and a ride-along.

I did the MP4-12C last year and honestly wouldn't waste $300 on it again. I would rather spend $300 on one day of open lapping in my own car. Sure the car was very fast and exotic, but it was also boring and computerized, and you only get a few laps.

I'm considering doing this in Orlando this fall... the available cars are:

Seems to me the GT-R is the best bang for the buck... but driving a Lambo or Ferrari is an entirely different thing.
@CSG Mike, I've got no car track time under my belt but I might have done 120+ on the street and I might sometimes take low speed corners at 2.5 times the recommended speed. ;)

Think it's worth the money to give it a try? The reviews on Trip Advisor vary WILDLY from "LOVED it" to "they wouldn't let me go over 95 mph and kept cutting the power on me".

F430 scuderia. Youre welcome. ;)

That orlando "track" looks weak. I'd say save your money. It's designed to keep you off throttle and slow.

Granted, I work for Exotics Racing, but you won't be babying the car if the instructor is comfortable with your driving at EXR.

I didn't do something completely like this, but I had an experience in a Sprint Cup car at Auto Club and it was really fun. The spotter dude even told me I was hitting the spots like a pro, so that was nice. I'd love to try an exotic though.

Just when I was about ready to go for it... LOL.

Based on the reviews, your analysis of the Orlando track sounds about right. I'd certainly prefer EXR. Maybe I need to come out. :D
