Ariel Atom, Audi R8, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Ferrari 360, Jaguar F-type, Porsche 997 Turbo, and Lamborghini gallardo Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Easy. Lexus LFA & Mercedes SLR if money were no object. Out of what you offered, 997 turbo & the Gallardo. Edited December 28, 2015 by -G- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich260 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 My mate did one of these days and drove the lambo and a GTR. Said the lambo was a bit of a let down but the GTR was awesome. If it was me I'd go the Atom and 997 turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Atom (providing its the full fat version) and Aston or Lambo Edited December 28, 2015 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Never driven any of those but if I was offered the chance to drive only two of those then I'd choose the Ariel Atom & the Audi R8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller350z Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 im really not sure what to go with. i think ive already decided not to go with the vantage or jag but unsure about the rest. i was thinking of the atom but my brother went on a similar thing and said the atom was a bit hard to get used to and by the time you do its time to come in. he drove a 458 ferrari and said it was awesome and by far the best but i have no idea what a 360 will be like. im thinking ferrari and lambo but could quite easily go with the atom and 997 turbo. been changing my mind all the time!!

ZMANALEX Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Driven most of these cars and you are correct what you say about the Atom, so with that in mind, I think that you would have the most fun in the 360 and the 997. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a 458 Italia I'd be in agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's an experience day, so pick the ones that will give you the most memorable experience. That's the Atom and the 997, btw. There's nothing like the Atom, and the pace of the 997TT will blow you away, even after bikes. Every other car on there is much of a muchness in terms of experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 their's a few saying the 997 so think I'll go with that. 1 down 1 to go. i was thinking the atom as the track is a bit tight and its basically a racing car for the road, guess i have a bit more thinking to do Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have an Atom which is really great fun, however it takes quite a while to get to grips with it, so on that basis, I think that it is not the car for you in this instance, so as said previously 360 and 997. If the Atom is SC then you will definitely not enjoy, as it is so difficult to master on a tight track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I drove a Gallardo and a GTR on one of these days. The GTR was rapid, but so sedate, whilst the Lambo felt slower, it was much harder work and much more of an experience. Make of that what you will but i would say if i were doing it again i'd try to go for something in between the two, Ferrari and 997TT probably.

Ekona Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Unless the 360 is a manual, I wouldn't touch it. Likewise the Gallardo. R8 or Vantage have the noise, but again they'd have to be manuals to be anything close to enjoyable. F-Type not special enough to be an experience.

Payco Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Two Nissan GTRs is my answer but they are not listed !. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I don't think the 360 would be exciting enough and that's coming from a Ferrari lover. I'd say atom and 997 if you know how to drive on track. Drove the 360 before and not as fast as I'd thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A 430 or 458 or 488 yes. But the 360 is too close to a 350z imo for speed to get a big wow impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I've been in a 360 on the road - it felt much faster than the Z does. Makes better noises too! Go with the Atom and whatever car is closest to one you had on your wall growing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Whatever you pick, you won't come close to mastering on track, so if that's the only reason to discount the Atom then I'd reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I think you only get like 4 laps or so per car so wouldnt worry to much about getting used to it, just whatever you think will be the most fun and would say the atom will leave the biggest grin.

Stutopia Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Not driven any, Atom or Lambo + Porsche FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 yeah, you only get 4 laps in each car but it'll be good to have a go. im gonna go for the 997 then its between the atom, 360 and lambo. i am leaning towards the lambo for the simple reason i used to love the diablo when i was young and a lambo or ferrari is never gonna happen for me financially to own, but i could at some point stretch to a atom Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Lambo isn't that exciting, not in four laps. It's prettier to look at, but for visceral inputs I'd pick the 360. And I don't like the 360! You can easy blag a test drive in a Lambo any time. Trying to achieve that in an Atom is significantly more difficult.

Dashurik Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 drove 997 .audi r8 and lambo.... 997 was awesome.. r8 great lambo ...didn't like it..felt too heavy,steering wasn't sharp enough for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 drove 997 .audi r8 and lambo.... 997 was awesome.. r8 great lambo ...didn't like it..felt too heavy,steering wasn't sharp enough for me...
