For my 1st Father's Day, my wife hooked me up with the driving package from World Class Driving http://www.wcdriving.com.
During the event, I drove a Ferrari F430, Lambo Gallardo Spyder, Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche GT3, and the $ 500,000 MB McClaren!!! And all I can say is F'in WOW! The F430 was almost as responsive as my Ducati motorcycle...crazy! Enjoy the snaps:
Ferrari F430:

Holy sh!t. That is so cool. I drove a 430 a while back and thought it was sweet, but have always prefered the Gallardo, how did they compare to eachother?

Hell yeah! Those cars are the **** to drive! I love the Lambos... way addictive. Be careful though, I did a similar thing in Miami and ended up buying fractional ownership of their ny/miami fleet. Way cheaper than leasing just one Ferrari, but still. :clapping: :beerchug:

The Lambo was awesome it was just a bit weird shifting only with the eGear paddles. There was a bit of a delay / thud each time you shifted but then the big fat tires dug in and pinned your head back - it was cool.
The F430's paddle shifting was much smoother and the pedal was almost as responsive as my bike.
The GT3 was just as fun to drive b/c you have traditional shifting and it just seemed small and tight.
The AM and MB were cool but neither really had the feel of the other 3. It was cool knowing how expensive it was but for insurance reasons, you had a staff member in the car with you. As you slowed to stop, you could hear the gas slushing around behind your head and that was weird as well.
We were suppose to drive a Ford GT but it was wrecked up the day before. Apparently it doesn't have TC (traction control) so when you get your average idiot in it, they punch it, spin out, and crash into something. It was the 3rd time on the current tour the GT was crashed.
Overall, it was sweet! I plan on doing it again next year with a whole new set of rides!

I've drivin my fair share too, jsut from people we know though. Ive driven the F430 and the Lambo Diablo. Ive drivin in much more, such as the Porsche Carrera GT, Lambo Murcielgo etc. We went and tested the Aston V8 too, my dad didnt like nor I, still in my opinion though dispite its drive its the best looking one out there. I still must say though, the one i have the most fun driving is still my pops 07 Porsche Turbo. thats sweet though i would love to drive that MB Mclaren. Was that the limited 722 or the regular one?
