I was in Vegas for last week and this week and I wanted to go from Harrah's to the Sahara. Traffic was the worst I've ever seen so I decided to go via the monorail, and am I glad I did. Got on and saw an advertisment for GM's THEDRIVE at the Sahara, got out at the monorail station and looked off to the side and saw a performance track and an off-road track. All vehicles included were the Corvette, CTS-V, STS-V, Solstice, Sky, Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, H2, and H3. For $10 you could drive any 2, of course I had to pay $20 and drive 4. Took out the STS-V first and then the C6, STS-V will out accelarate the C6, but the C6 will out handle (of course) the STS-V. Then it was over to the off-road course, drove the H2 suv and the H2 sut.
Anyone going out to Vegas must do this, the people out there are pretty cool as long as you do not loose control they simply turn you loose.

 

sounds like fun man!

 

So do they frown on 2+ minute burnouts yes or no

 

What ever happens in vegas, leave with probation....... yeah, i'd be that guy

 

i'd love to have an STS-V as a DD... just wish it was an LSx motor instead of northstar

 

Those are pretty nice cars for sure, but still love my CTS-V

J

 

wow thats freakn awesome. 20 bucks to drive cool cars around.

How long did you get behind the wheel?

 

2 laps on the performance track.
1 lap on the off-road track.

 

Is it like right next door to the Sahara, meaning you can walk to it from the monorail station? I meant to check it out last August but never made it to that end of the strip.

 

Yes, it is in the back of the Sahara. I took the monorail down to the Sahara and you can take an escalator down to the track from the station and do not even have to go in the Sahara, or if you are in the Sahara go to the back out the monorail exit and just out to the back parking lot where they have the tracks set up. You can actually see it from the monorail station at the Sahara. If you have the chance go, it is well worth the money.

 

my question is why you drove the hummers and not the sky/solstice

 

awesome!! i am going next friday...if i have 20 bucks left over the fiance and i will definitely have to try that out

 

Yea, I saw the track. That was a pretty big Dirt mound they had for you to climb in the Hummer. Looked like fun.

 

man thats awesome, if i was there, i would lose all my money there!!!

dont they have something like this sometimes in houston? i know like a year ago they had something like this in the reliant parking lot, i think they had BMW's, if it comes around someone should start a thread, and then we could all head out there d same day, and get BANNED!!!!!

 

Car and Driver sent me an invitation for a compairson of the Cadillac, BMW, and Lexus, not sure which ones, for the 2nd and 3rd of December at Reliant. I'll find the website and post it. Could be fun.
