Default Which exotic to pick?

I signed up for some driving instruction and 3 laps around the track in one of the following:

Ferrari 430
Lamborghini Gallardo
Audi R8
Mercedes SLS AMG

Hmmm.. Which to choose.. Wish we still had the "poll" feature.

I agree about the AMG. The boss took me out yesterday and I thought we were going to die!! Unreal acceleration.

Sounds like a pretty cool boss. Maybe next time you each can drive one.

Bet none are boring. Might try the one you'd least likely have the chance to try again?

I have carnal dreams about Ferraris &amp; Lambos but in this case I'd probably choose the AMG. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

If it were me, I'd totally do the Ferrari. I know it's almost a caricature or whatever at this point, but the allure of listening to a Ferrari V-8 (that sounds unlike any other engine) screaming behind me while flying down the straight and downshifting before the corner just excites me, lol.

I love Merc Benz (I own one), but that's just, in my humble opinion, another HP V-8 that doesn't take as much skill (or is as much fun) to drive as a peaky Ferrari V-8; the Ferrari just seems like a much more visceral experience.
