    There are next to no corners in Vegas, also the traffic on the strip is muck. Best to get the car with the best mix of comfort/straight line speed. Id imagine that the M6 will be a bit hard riding so for me it would be the XKR or the SL.

    Also both are V8's (albeit supercharged) which is the least you could do if your going to be in the states.

    You can get wheelspin in the SL600 in 5th gear at 60mph.

    I'm hardly gonna rent a car to drive around the city....

    I'll be heading to the hoover dam, round lake mead and through the valley of fire...

    The roads are still pretty straight to be fair. No hairpins.

    If you're heading for the grand canyon then you'll need something with ground clearance.

    M6. Or stretch to an F-car.

    I know it's not on the list but I second the Hertz Shelby GT350/500 recommendation. The black with gold stripes combo looks great. When in Rome and all that.

    The 2008 SL55 AMG will be an older model, not the new one. The new model only has 6.3 and 6.5 engines.

    If you can, go for the 360

    Of the cars in the poll it has to be the M6, fantastic machine.

    I've been looking for it but I can't find it anywhere... Anyone got links to it??

    This might work, it's their customer service form:

    https://www.hertz.ca/rentacar/customersupport/index.jsp?targetPage=contactUsView.jsp&leftNavUserSelection=globNav_8_1

    There is also a link to a list of phone numbers if you would prefer to ring them.

    On their live chat at the mo finding out how to rent one...


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    From what I can tell u can no longer rent a Hertz Shelby... They where only out for a limited time and there's none available on the West Coast of America, they're taking the '08 cars out of service at the mo so they must have most of the retired n ready for sale...

    Go for some high end red neck class, Ford F-150 lightening, the most fun I ever had on four wheels, these things won't go straight:cool:

    I really couldn't go over and rent one of those yokes, and that lad in the Z3 needs to be thought a lesson or two:D
