My GF picked me up in it this morning to surprise me. Rented it for Coachella.

Talk about a rent-a-beast! 436 Hp with a paddle shifter and removable top.

Power is SMOOOTTH. 100+ mph feels like 50-60 honestly. I was doing 75 and I thought I was doing 40 mph on the on-ramp.

Highly recommended it's $175/day to rent..

Here's a pic:

I wanna rent one too, i just hate the fact that its 20 cents a mile over 100 miles. I know if I rent it ill put on like 300 miles in a day.

Wow that's pretty reasonable rental, too bad they have the black stripe and bar codes on them, gives it away that it's a rental lol.

Can you turn off the traction control? And can you take it to the track?

I got a '02 z06 for sale if you guys would rather buy that than rent a vette.

Sorry it's my 10mp camera.

Yeah you can turn off the traction control but those F1's aren't that sticky.

The rear end got loose on some hairy on-ramps.
