Mavric Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dude i did this its NUTS!!!!! I did like 14 laps and Bro i swear BEST FUN EVA!!!! Did like 200 down the straight went nuts i swear slicks grip like all hell and jump on the brakes and the thing WILL pull up... Best advise Listen to what the instructor has to say they will help you drive faster.

Z1LLA Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 We sell them where I work, they seem pretty popular, the boss has been on one and reckons its a bit of fun, and of course it would be, thrashing someone else's car on the track Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187664-the-ultimate-v8-experience/#findComment-3386035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

emts Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I did this about 4-5 months ago. will there be others there on the day..oh yeah big time.. it's a processing plant. basiclly you get there sign in. wait around, finally get called into the briefing. takes about 30 min. then they line u up, (there about 20-30 in each group.) put on a suit/helmet, get your pic taken for a certificate at the end. then line up again and wait for the car. this took a little over an hour on my day finally they strap you in. you get out there trash the tit's off the car (there something cool about having an instructor, yell just as you turn in to the corner, "f**ken drill it") as Mav said the slicks are to die for, literally able to go full throttle on turn on of the clubman circuit in a 250odd kw V8 with no chance of loss of traction. and yeah at end of main straight doing in the region of 180-200 and brake pedal flat to the floor just ot have the car squirm a little and just stop. However, (is there always a however) these are NOT v8 supercars by along shot. they are pretty well stock fal/commo with stripped out interiour, cage, body kit and slicks. the motor felt stock...(well a thrashed stock one anyhow) the car was set up to under steer not over steer so twits that don't realise throttle have mroe than on and off don't spin the thing. (I tried to get it sideways but the front just kept washing out on me first) that been said it's still great fun basiclly listen to your instructor do what they tell you and they will give you a great experience.

R32Big_boy Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 If you get ryan, just ask for a different instructor, as he is getting soft these days and likes to be driven around like miss daisy.

Belsil80 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 You're probably talking about ryan? He thinks he's micheal schumacher since getting that job! you just gotta look out for the drifting geminis that will be going faster than you... but seriously, there arent geminis on the track at the same time luckily. If you get ryan, just ask for a different instructor, as he is getting soft these days and likes to be driven around like miss daisy. If that were the case you would be my no.1 perfect customer! If you choose a holden, try and get 'bluey' as its the newest and fastest or supercheap. If you go ford they are all pretty similar. i usually have 'ice freddy' dont ask where they get some of their names...

R32Big_boy Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I've been told the cars are named after the drivers, like the red head driving bluey, or the tightarse driving supercheap and the crack head ryan whom they call freddy.
