Just to throw out an alternative that's not on your list, I saw that you can rent a Mercedes AMG SL55. If you haven't driven one, this is a whiplash inducing vehicle which I think you'd actually find easier to drive fast in a straight line than a Viper or Ferrari, particularly without an extended period to get used to the nuances of the car. I'll certainly concede that the Viper draws more attention in some circles, but after driving one for a while, some of the annoyances of the car will wear on you. You've done the Ferrari, so I think you'd get less bang for your buck on the second go-round. The AMG SL55 is faster than the Porsche cab, looks better (sorry folks) and IMHO conveys more of an impression that "you've arrived" than a Viper or 996.

Be that as it may, on the chick meter AMG anything scores a big, fat zero. No girl that you actually WANT to impress could ever tell the difference between a SL 500 or a SL55. besides, i have driven a 355 and would jump back in one in a heartbeat.

Ferrari -- there really is no substitute. really.

Well if you want to impress chicks, then buy the car. Who wants a chick impressed with a rental.


BTW I posted a week ago about driving the wonderful 355 spyder. That car was sold today to someone in California. It is his second Ferrari and will be a daily driver and he is very young. In trying to make the deal he complained that Southwest airlines was too expensive for him to make the trip to see it.


Rent the F355! I just remembered the chicks in Vegas are rentals too. They may not care.
