rs6er Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Went to visit my son in Boulder. Surprised me with a day of driving some fun cars: Ford GT, Ferrari 360 Spider, Corvette ZO6, Lotus Elise, Porsche 996 Turbo, and Aerial Atom in the canyons of Colorado. Sweet!

nyrm98 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That Aerial Atom must have been a BLAST to drive-I immediatly picture Jeremy Clarkson on "Top Gear"-with his face flapping in the wind. You lucky dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftride Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 sounds like a cool experience with the cars, how was American Dreams in general? how'd the process go? *vb gallery* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs6er Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 American Dreams was great. Justin let me drive the Ferrari. I am the only one who has driven it besides him and his partner. You'd have to pay 3 times as much to do this in the NY area, and the roads wouldn't have been 1/4 as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05pearl Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Sounds like a blast. Which ride(s) did you like the best and why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs6er Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 It costs $299. I liked different cars for different reasons. The Atom is like a formula car. A blast for an outing. Loved the Lotus and wouldn't mind owning one. Handling is unbelievable, controllable, and predictable. The Turbo is the one I could live with everyday. Super comfortable and responsive. I felt a bit isolated from the capabilities of the Z06. I could barely hear the engine. because of that I didn't feel that comfortable pusing it although the owner of American Dreams loves it. The GT is loud and raw. Didn't love the interior at all. The Ferrari is totally sweet. The paddle shifters made it almost indecently easy to drive well. I was impressed by the handling capabilities of all of them. The Ferrari and Porsche are really refined in every way, with unbelievable handling. You could lift the throttle at 9/10ths in a turn with no drama whatsoever. We frequently came up on slow-moving cars and had to brake in the middle of turns. The Ferrari couldn't care less.
