[DeTomaso] NPC: Choices, choices - Exotic Driving Experience

[Boyd Casey]

I am unfamiliar with the particulars but I would be very interested in the
insurance coverage. Also as far as choosing a car to drive I know many of
theses cars are 4 wheel or all wheel drive. If you are trying to come
closer to replicating a driving experience closer to a Pantera or just to a
super high tech car. I would suggest you do some research and decide what
you would like to to replicate.
Just my 2 cents.

   I am unfamiliar with the particulars but I would be very interested in
   the insurance coverage. Also as far as choosing a car to drive I know
   many of theses cars are 4 wheel or all wheel drive. If you are trying
   to come closer to replicating a driving experience closer to a Pantera
   or just to a super high tech car. I would suggest you do some research
   and decide what you would like to to replicate.
   Just my 2 cents.

     It seems unlikely that they would turn people loose on a race track
     without it.
     I have a friend that did a formula-1 type car at COTA, and they were
     speed
     limited.A  They also had remote kill in case someone went nuts.
