I am sure there are also other better options. some car dealers offers car rentals, if you insist to rent a twin, you can try http://www.toyota.com/rental/FR-S.html |

If he is an 86 owner, or at least an enthusiast of the 'light is right' variety a V6 automatic convertible Mustang will be a huge disappointment, especially on Highway 1. Hertz hypes up their 'adrenaline' program offering the big V8's which may be worth it, however they are still A/T's and >800 lbs. heavier than a Toyobaru, all depends on what OP wants.

For my money, I'd do the owner rental listed above and grab that supercharged miata

Yeah, cars in SG are horrifically expensive, i could never afford a V8 with the sky high taxes and all.
Would LOVE to have a go at a proper muscle car.. Perhaps i should consider power and sound over handling...
Lemme give it some thought.....
