Default World Class Driving Experience

Has anyone ever done the world class driving experience. http://worldclassdriving.com/ I signed up for the Stowe VT session and was just wondering what people have thought of this. It looks amazing and im excited to get behind the wheel of some of these beasts. I'd love to hear reviews or thoughts.

I've thought about it before... very similar to http://www.gothamdreamcars.com/

But then I would rather mod my car than spend money and have nothing to show

Seriously...

It would cost me about $30-$40 to go cruising for five hours in my car. Are you really going to try to tell me that these cars are 40 times as much fun to drive as my car? Awesome cars to be sure, but I'll pass.

I did get to sit in an SLR McLaren once.

I really just think its a once in a life time experience. Unlike foxrus i havent even come close to driving or riding in any cars even similar to these. Me and my father are doing it and i think that is something neither of us will ever forget.

This is the truth. They definitely aren't that much more exciting than driving our cars. but there is the look at me factor. People see them and look at you. if that is worth the $ then cool. I have just been fortunate to know quite a few wealthy people. $500k for the SLR is redonkulous... Not worth the money imo
