Hey guys smile

I'm going to canada in march for a month, and aside from the family visits and the copious snowboarding, I intend on renting some american muscle. Last summer I had the pleasure of a V8 Mustang GT softop, so I'd rather try something new, in order to tick as many boxes as possible.

A friend suggested a corvette, and I agree. If it doesn't cost too much, I shall have one of those for a day. Would like to try something else as well, I'm thinking a camaro or challenger, or the hardtop mustang.

Go.

A month?

You might aswell try them all for a few days each.

Corvette, Camaro SS, Challenger, the latest Mustang 5.0, and why not the Raptor for sts and giggles?

A Corvette?, to take on snowboarding trips?. I would rather go for any SUV they have on offer. Loads of boot space for wet snowboards and gear etc.

Get a Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis while you can I reckon.

For snowboarding trips, a Ford Explorer.
Great looking SUV, fell in love with these in Florida this year...

The two Challengers we had on our honeymoon were awesome. We had the V6 for a main hire car and we had a V8 R/T Plus from Hertz for a couple of days as a treat too, great fun. The V8 was definitely the better of the two, handled a lot better and had a lot of grunt too.
Maybe not fun in the snow though wink

Don't bother, they all have terrible hp/ltr, don't go round corners and the dash boards are made of yoghurt pots.

I think I might not have explained myself properly.

I'm going to be in canada for a month(ish)
I'm going to be spending most of my time snowboarding, but I've bought a season ticket for about 400 pounds for the resort I'm near, but that is weekdays only. Weekends I'm going to be doing other stuff, including renting out a few cars and having a laugh/hoon.

I have an old volvo available for taking me to the ski resort.

So suggest a couple of cars I can rent for a day or two each for the sake of driving in a spirited manner wink
