Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Thanks. I'm sure DW has seen this. I was thinking about doing this last time, but I missed the window.

Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Do any of you know if all of these cars are 5-speed or automatic? I'm guessing 5-speed

Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Is it worth driving from LI to NJ for this?

They're all automatic, they don't have manuals. Just saw this in the Q&A:
"Would it be possible to drive a car with a manual transmission?

Only if we had one....we would gladly offer it up but unfortunately ......we do not have manual cars....Sorry

I saw that too and decided to not to get it. I was so excited too and I mentioned it to DH last night because someone was talking about it at the dry cleaners and we live 10 minutes from the track.
I am glad I read all the fine print.

Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Does anyone know anyone who has done this? I need one more present for DH but want to see if it's worth the drive to NJ for this.

Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Be aware it's only 3 laps. NOT 4.
The fine print is that you get one lap ride along, then switch for the next 3.

Even if that's the case, that's still pretty cool!! I would NEVER pay the $340 for it but for a $100, I think that it's a pretty cool experience.

If DH is able to go 100 mph in a luxury sports car, (even thought he has been said he used to drive his corvette faster than that down in Florida) I dont think that first lap will make a difference
(Even if it will mean DH excessively pouring over internet stats and comparing and contrasting torque ratios to see which car out of the five will give him the best bang for his (my) buck)

Re: Race car Experience....Groupon is on again
Definitely think 3 laps at 100 mph+ in a luxury car that Dh will never own is totally worth it....
