That car looks like a near stock VZ Clubsport (except it says it has a 5.7 in it?). You may be disappointed to find it may only be similar to what you already have power wise, but I hope you enjoy the experience anyway. It should (should) have better than stock suspension and brakes, and all the weight cut out.
Let us know what it is and how it goes?

Unfortunately, the devil is in the detail.
"This 5.7 litre V8 is an amazing muscle car, its racing equivalent is normally seen in the fire-breathing, fender-bending action of the Australian V8 Super Car Championship"
As the picture is actually a LHD Chevrolet. The car is referred to as "our V8 supercar" so I wouldn't want to put money on what it is.

his V8 super car driving experience is unique to the Rockingham Race Circuit in Northamptonshire and offers you the chance to drive this big-engined touring car.
The V8 supercar driving championship is Australia's biggest motorsport and the touring car series pitches Ford against Holden (the Aussie version of Chevrolet), which happen to be the biggest selling passenger car brands in the country. The car you'll be driving is based on a production car, but with the factory spoiler, body moldings, front splitter, air dam and roll cage this is a truly race-prepared V8 super car.
To get used to the circuit you'll be taken out on a instructor-driven familiarisation session, then you'll find yourself revving the V8 engined super car ready to hit the track for your 12 mile driving session at wheel, with the instructor beside you. This V8 super car driving experience is your chance to find out how it feels to be an Aussie touring car championship series driver! This driving experience is one of our most popular gift for men activities.

Its racing equivalent has a 5.0 litre Holden motor with considerably more horsepower. 400fwhp is what you get stock in a LS2 motor."This 5.7 litre V8 is an amazing muscle car, its racing equivalent is normally seen in the fire-breathing, fender-bending action of the Australian V8 Super Car Championship"

The body on the car shown is HSV VZ apart from an extended rear valance and the spoiler.
Anyway £74 is not bad, provided that you won't be rev limited and you can give it a good caning.

Theres also a Lambo and an Aston Martin one for 85 quid each.
Also seen the group booking one for a grand for 12 people - you get to drive 6 supercars and that only works out at 85 quid each !!
(Ferrari, 2X Lambos, Aston Martin, Nissan GTR & Audi R8)
