I know, most people dream of driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini maybe even a McLaren around the track. For me it's the R8 with the V10. $249 for five laps, not bad, most car shows you can't even touch the cars. Here you can sit in everyone of them and decide which one you want to drive. Well all except the Aventador, that one they keep locked. One day/night the fight and the next day on the race track!

The Audi R8 would be the first car on my list to purchase if I had the money. I may have to look in to that test drive you mentioned when I get there. $249.00 aint bad.

I can't wait to hit the road. No matter how far, I don't fly anywhere if it is possible to arrive by car or motorcycle. People always say I spend all of my vacation time on the road and never as much time at the destination. I tell them it's all apart of the vacation and collectively the experience makes me happiest. I will say, although I am completely happy with my choice this is one time I wish I had the convertible instead of the coupe. The scenery will be amazing. I wonder what the temps are usually like in Colorado and Utah in late March?

I may grab a roll of duct tape for the road. It seems like it's one of the world's best kept secrets.

Mayweather gets all the press and hardly ever takes a tough fight, but these two guys deserve the big bucks. True warriors. I can't wait! It will be live on HBO if you don't make it to the fight.

OH MAN! Just what I need. Now you have me really interested in attending this fight and, of course, driving to it in my ZL1. I can't fit much else in now but I am thinking about how to attend. Where do I get a clear bra?

Fredericks of Hollywood?

Seriously, check with your loca dealer. I asked at my dealer, and they have an outside company that apply's clear bra to the Corvettes they sell, etc.

That's what I need to find out concerning the bra. Also is it pre cut to fit the front end of the car. Also I got a great package deal that is available through Mandalay Bay that includes tickets and a suite at a special low rate. I couldn't pass it up.

Fight tickets start at around 50 bucks and top out at $250 for ring side seats. Fuel will be your greatest expense.

Oh man, I'm begging you to stop. First the idea itself, then scenes from the first fight, then a tip on the Mandalay Bay and now prices on the fight tickets. I can't take much more and am ready to cave in.

Checkout their web site, www.exoticsracing.com, all kinds of supercars, and all the latest models. Different pkg deals, maybe you'll want five laps in the R8 and something else. Highly recommend the ride along, w/a drifting expert behind the wheel. That's usually in a Z06 vette! $99 well spent for the ride along w/a pro, can always learn some tricks of the trade. I'd book in advance, that way you're all set when you get there. About 20 minutes from the strip. Great way to spend a morning or afternoon. Better than pissing your money away at the casino!

exotics is where my wife took me for my 30th this year. AWESOME experience.

30th what? Age? Years spent in the joint? Anniversary? Would be a great gift after serving a 30 year stint. Wait a minute, if that's "anniversary" wouldn't that be the same thing? So I take it you highly recommend it! Everyone I've talked to has said they had a great time and would do it again!

And yes, I'd recommend it - in an instant. I drove the McLaren - had a total blast, and the instructor really teaches you how to handle the car and the track

30 years old and not only sitting, but driving a frigging McLaren around the race track. Snackbar64, sure hope you checked out the web site. And yes they let you put it to the floor, although the guy in the passenger seat can hit the brakes if necessary. All paddle shifts or in auto mode, your choice. Best road trip of your life coming up!
