My dilemma is because I know the F430 will be a better drivers car, I feel like I would connect with it better and feel more comfortable having fun with it.

The flipside is that a LP640 is very rare, the car is ridiculous.. a real supercar. There is only a few places in the world where you would be able to rent one so its a rare opportunity. Meanwhile Ferrari rental is not so rare.

To be honest, im pretty nervous about driving the LP640, partially because its a dream come true and partially because im not sure if I can have fun with such a scary beast! Lost some sleep over it last night and im sure ill lose more.

I have always loved Ferrari's more overall but seeing a Murcielago on the road is amazing, more so than seeing an F430. Im afraid when I get there if I rented the F430 I would regret not taking the chance to try the LP640.

Im renting in Las Vegas. Has already been billed to my credit card - AU$1550 for 12 hours, 100miles included, US$2.50 per extra mile + crazy fuel bill :/

F430 was approx $450 less for the same deal.

No bond required, insurance is pretty much included in that price.

I looked into doing this this year for my birthday... my 23rd birthday

Insurance said NOOOOOOOOOOOO

No supercars are insured for rent for anyone under 30-35 depending on the car, which sucked arse...

Lambo is my choice too, simply for the rarity.

    • To the OP - I run that Greddy BOV (recirculated back into the intake pipe, not blowoff), as the stock R33 RB25 BOV did leak at around 19psi on a boost leak test. I haven't had any issues with the Greddy.
    • Yes. And all the world's automotive manufacturers and their engineers fell for this myth and incorporate bypass valves on all their modern turbo cars, and leading turbo manufacturers such as Garrett and Borg Shane Warner also fell for this myth and incorporated bypass valves into many of their turbochargers.
    • Anyone know if there is any light ups for the r33 s1 sedan boot garnish? Or if not what’s a good way to make the lettering “skyline” light up on the garnish?
    • In this case, the issue I see is that if the throttle is part open, to give the boost/power you're wanting, and the boost reference is from the plenum and thus there is less boost than the boost target, then the controller is going to have the wastegate more/totally closed and you're going to have higher EMP than you otherwise could have, if the boost reference was in the tract upstream of the throttle. More EMP is never a good thing, except in terms of response. So, in this instance, you would have really good throttle response, because the turbo is already slogging away hard and there is pressure upstream of the throttle to be had. Just with the penalty of more ex manifold pressure, with the usual consequences of that.
