Default Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Ford GT, Porsche GT3, McLaren Mercedes SLR..............

These were the cars I recently drove in an event held by the firm World Class Driving (Google it). As fans of automobile craftsmanship and performance, participants in this forum may be interested in a few details. I have no affiliation with WCD - I was simply a customer. WCD holds these events at various locations around the US and Europe. For a fee of $1250 US, participants get to drive all 5 cars. In my event, there were a total of 8 drivers, and our "supercar caravan" covered a total of 170 miles through some gorgeous Texas hill country. At scheduled stops, drivers change cars and off you go again. The lead WCD car was driven by a professional race driver, and the pace was brisk to say the least. The cars were all current model year, except for the Ford, which is no longer in production. The total value of the 5 cars was noted to be $1.3 million US. HP of these cars is in the 400 - 600 range, and most of them have 0 - 60 times around 3.5 seconds.
This event was conducted with professionalism and high quality, and it was well worth the cost. It was an unusual opportunity to drive and compare these cars in a short time span. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of exotic and powerful automobiles.

Default p.s. how could I forget to mention - WCD staff said they renew the stable of cars often, and......

one of the cars they are interested in adding is the Audi R8, when available.

Hello,

Just done this incredible event during the Fathers day weekend.
It was simply brilliant.
Drove all these magnificient cars and enjoyed every minute of it.
Well worth the money.

The staff and organization was perfect and friendly.
We drove in nicely selected roads around new-york state, starting from tarrytown.
