Drive Your Dream Car … For a Price

4:30: In Fontana, California, at the Auto Club Speedway getting a taste of what it’s like to race half-million dollar cars.

The experience is called “Supercar Life,” and for a little under $6000, you can drive a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porshe, Aston Martin and Mercedes AMG at speeds you’ve never felt before. It’s an all day clinic for only about a dozen people, taught by pro race-car drivers.

We spent a day at the track and got to live the Supercar Life ourselves. Stay tuned for lives tomorrow from the Speedway and see the link here.

7:22: You have never felt speed until you’ve done 150mph around a racetrack in a Ferrari.

I thought Dag, our Polish-born professional racecar driver, was just going to take me one around the track at, say, a cool 60mph. I really just wanted to sit in a Ferrari to feel what it was like. Of all the other cars in the Supercar Life “experience,” it was by far the most elegant and looked to be the fastest.

So when he started revving the engine and putting the car through her paces, I was surprised … and delighted. Up the long side of the Auto Club Speedway at 110; downshifting around the curve through the cones; up the back stretch at 130mph; sss-curves around some cones; accelerating to 147mph again. I didn’t realize i was alternately screaming and laughing until Dag asked if I was OK. I was MORE than OK, and shouted “yes” when he asked if I wanted a third turn around the track.

I dont consider myself a car person, but i do love an adrenaline rush. Supercar Life gives us speed junkies a means to breathlessness.

They do this in Dallas, DFW Drive Your Dream, it’s 1/6th the price and you get to drive on better roads. You’re a fool to spend $6k on that package

Obviously, Josh and Bob know nothing about super cars. I own a porsche 911 and there is no comparison from the road experience to the adrenaline rush of the track. I bet the radio in the Ferrari sounded cool though… on the road…….a must do for speed junkees…awesome experience
