383.. pfft.. where dat 440 6-barrel superwing ad? 
I was about 10 minutes late to buying a 69 road runner 440 six pack auto.. that was nearly 20 years ago.
Guy didn't know what he had or was just eager to get rid of it because he was asking less than 10k.
Could have flipped it for much more..

At those prices, the only people renting those cars are the ones who can afford to buy them. Also, I bet there are tons of stipulations around how fast you can go, how many miles you can put on, and what all you're responsible to deal with in the event something goes wrong, etc...
Hell, one day of driving the Huracan would equal the entire cost of my last 10 day vacation.

We rented a 348 Spyder and Viper GTS back in the day, in Vegas (like 2002)... it was like $450 per car for 6 hours, and 4 of us split it. Not bad we had a lot of fun and memorable experience.

that is fuked up they don't have RLX with upgraded tires for $10,000/day. They don't know what they are missing out on.
Just curious if you can rent a GTR for $800 and spend a day at the track.

IMO, if you want to rent a supercar, I'd either look into a company like Driving Exotics that let you drive them on a track or one of those drives that let you and a group share 4-5 super cars through some back roads.

Friend of mine got the group deal in Austin through a groupon. Something like $450 for an hour each in a Z06 (C6), Ferarri F430, Lamborghini Gallardo & an Aston Martin Vantage.

Only $18,000 per day for the Bugatti, I going to head there now.. Might even pickup a Bentley for the wife since it's a steal @ $985 per day.. I hope the $11.95 per day insurance is included or I'm not doing it... LOL
