Audi R8 1min 11secs
Acura NSX 1min 08secs
Porsche 911 GT3 1min 06secs

But that's also the order I took them out on the track in... (GTB was also yesterday) so I learned maybe some good driving tips but no idea which car is better.

So you are saying the driver skill is more important than the car when it comes to lap times.

Also, don't you have someone out there with you? What was she doing this whole time?

It was a blast. You can really go nuts because the instructor helps you both verbally and has his own little brake too. To rip so hard on a supercar, epic. They honestly push you more than they hold you back. (If you're listening to them and not be retarded).

If you suck as bad as me, yeah their more improvement to made on the driver than the car haha. I "accidentally" left my driver's license here yesterday at the front desk. She decided to sleep in instead of coming out at 8am. I was left unsupervised and this is what happens.

The 4 wheel steering on the Gt3 is very impressive. I drove a friend's GT3 and was amazed how easy it was to go very fast. Do you mind me asking what you paid to do this? You can pm me if you like. I'm going to be doing a driving school in Arizona soon, so maybe I'll pop into Vegas on my way home.

he also took it upon himself to 'wash' the entire interior with pure bleach. it nearly burned my eye's just walking into the shop.

My boss seems to think people that work slow are detailed

So he asked me to have this "detail oriented" employee check some parts for me. One of our manufacturers builds this part with retaining pins that are riveted to a plate. Some of the pins are loose which is bad. She went through and checked them all and said they all had loose pins, 700+ pieces. I grabbed the first part and it was tight, next part was tight, ect.

Ended up rechecking the entire lot and most of them are good

Well well.

5 laps in the R8, NSX, or GT3 was only $149 each. The GTB I paid like $349 for 7 laps. So it can be as cheap or expensive as you want really. I mean they have $99 specials sometimes and 100 lap deals for like $3k. The 4 wheel steering explains a lot though!

Well steal is strong word, the exit from the pits to the paddock vs RT15 wasn't very clearly labeled and I didn't bring my GPS but I'll find my way back someday.

I start to develop bad habits in sim. Still enjoy it though.
