You can hit 150 mph at Michigan International Speedway, good enough for me
Pretty sure I'm reading 3 laps each, so 6 laps in total. Seems like a winner to me... Ya the McLean would be badass

I'm still for the 458 and huracan. v10 is just raw awesomeness + V8 9000 rpm is just the icing on the cake.

Notwithstanding the issue of price, I've heard they neuter the experience by setting up pylons along the course so you can't even really pick up that much speed, and of course, you can't turn off any of the electronics. From a business perspective, this makes total sense bc the last thing you want is a bunch of bros thinking they're too fast and too furious, but for the rest of us, it gives even less of a reason to pay for it.

Michigan International Speedway is a 2 mile oval, but they cut the ride down to 1.4 miles per lap (3 laps) by using some of the infield road course. They retain a 2300 foot section of the oval though, hence the ability to get up close to 150 mph in something like the Huracan. Not bad.

There is another Michigan track offered that is called M1, which is a full road course, but I like the idea of running on part of an oval just so you can stretch the legs of the car.

A lot different from Vegas where they actually turn the nannies off for you.

^ It looks like all of the cars have dual clutch auto trannies, not an issue for me as they shift up and down so damn fast. I don't mind that.
