Rode some horses today
-
We rented it for a day.
My son starts back to school soon and since he didn’t get a vacation this summer I thought I’d spoil him for a day.
Believe it or not Enterprise has an Exotics line in select cities. I got this in Stamford CT.
It’s fun. We’ll probably do it again with something different.
By the way, I’ve never been a huge Vette fan, but this mother fucker is fast.

I drove one of those about 4 years ago.
What I liked about it was that it never felt like it would reach up and bite you, you'd never lose control.
It's a hell of a lot of car for the money - as @Jolly says, "Porsche-eater." The new one coming out soon is supposed to be even better: mid-engine.

Yeah my son was ever so slightly disappointed to find out it was a 2019.
The mid-engine does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.
This one is a meager 3.6. Lol
Only non-witches get due process.

I've always been deeply suspicious of anybody who referred to a car as 'she', and this thread is doing nothing to allay my fears.

Too fast. You need something more practical, like an SUV. May I suggest...

@Horace Probably didn't quite break 100. But this was on relatively busy Westchester roads.
Where we tested it is on acceleration. Man does this thing growl when you punch it. We rented a Mustang GT and a Camaro SS before but this puts them to shame.

If possible, you should rent a Tesla and see how it compares.

His bestie's dad drives one. They will accelerate well but without that growl. Not the same.

Style over substance, then.
When I drove the 'Vette, I was impressed with the sound and growl. That's purely psychological, of course. If it sounds more powerful, it must be more powerful. Numbers be damned.
As D'Oh (remember him?), or was it Klaus, commented on TOCR, there's a lot of money spent on tuning the sound of the exhaust and engine. Never understood that, and you can get off my lawn.

Man, that redefines cool!
So I'm curious. When you lay down at night to go to sleep, in the back of your mind, isn't there a little bit of "damn, maybe I should just buy one." ??
I would just dwell on it, until I somehow rationalized buying one, or even leasing. To hell with common sense.
