what car to choose on an experience day

[browna]

hi,
i have book a supercar driving experience day (experience limits in swansea) its only 3 laps in 3 different cars. im wondering which 3 to choose for the most fun/noise, the choice is from:

Aston Martin DB9, v12
Audi R8, v8
Ferrari F430, v8
Lamborghini Gallardo, v10
Porsche 911 (997) Turbo, I6T
Maserati GranTurismo. v8

i know 3 laps is nothing, but its a bit of cheap(ish) birthday fun.
im thinking about ferrari has to be done, then aston for v12 noise, and prob the lambo.
do you think the audi/porsche/masser possibly wont be as instantly viseral for the short time in each??

what would you choose? (im not after debate whether these days are worth it, cos ive already had it bought for me as a pressy, and i have my mx5 for proper track/drift day messing)

Aston Ferrari then Lambo....simple

def 430 - the noise / handling (i drove a 360 and it was awsome), lambo - the noise and porsche for handling

Audi R8, Ferrari, Lambo for me.

Had a DB9 for a week in Scotland and left me totally cold. Its a fine tourer but seeing as you have 3 laps I would chuck it out the list for the open gated R8 which will be much more fun. I had an R8 over Xmas and it was leagues better than the DB9 in every way. The noise on the DB9 was so muted but they may have a nicer than standard exhaust I guess.

Personally would consider an R8 a tsd dull so would rule that out. So I'd probably go:

997 Turbo - Just for the mental 4wd turbo off the line acceleration
Aston DB9 - Not as sporty as others but it's got a V12 and it's an Aston so has to be done

3rd car, not sure. I drove an F430 on a drivers day and found it a bit dull Less drama than I expected, less noise (being told to change up early not helping) and not as fun as the Evo I'd driven beforehand.

So I'd probably go with the Gallardo just to hear the V10 howl properly or perhaps the granturismo just because it's a bit rarer and different and sounds fantastic. Probably a nice place to sit as well.

My supervisor at work drove a Lambo Gallardoon one of these...wouldnt stop talking about it for weeeks!

997, 430 and Gallardo.

BTW, the 911 has a flat six, not an inline six!
