SLR Driving Experience

I just got invited to the "SLR Driving Experience" in Homestead on October 8th or 13th, for $2,395. While I'd certainly love to get behind the wheel of one of these, I'm not willing to spend that kind of money for the experience. I'm sure they'll get their 32 lucky participants, and I can't wait to hear the feedback. So....who's going???

got the same thing and i agree, a couple grand to drive the car is not my idea of an "invitation".

It's tempting, but I wouldn't do it simply because I'm sure I would fall in love and do anything it takes to buy one!

I have to say $2,400 for just one day is a lot of $$$. I went to Skip Barber back in the 90's and only paid $1600 for 3 full days of driving and at that time I tought that was a lot. Sure looks like a bargain now.

Got my invite as well and for $2,395.00 i'd rather use that money for something more useful such as more mods.

I also got the invite for the Homestead SLR Experience last year for about the same price or a little more but they included a hotel stay on South Beach for the night before.

Well I signed-up, I'm going...

Only thing they asked me was my helmet, shirt size and credit card number....

It will be the only time in my life that I'll be able to beat on an SLR at a track event...
