someone is actually selling 1/4 mile rides in their GT500 on ebay. I think they're charging $50 for 1/4 mile. They even have rules about how high you can take the rpm's. I hope someone takes it and beats the crap out of it. how friggin' lame.

I don't believe it. Where's the link?? I searched all over e-bay and couldn't find anything like this.
I can see someone giving rides for cash (in the passeneger seat) but I cannot see anyone letting someone else drive their car (especially in the 1/4 mile) for a measly 50 bucks.
Probably some schmuck in China or Africa trying to reel in a sucker or two!
That's ludicrious
op:
funny
I actually thought about this idea when I first heard about the car
no joke lol
I guess I just sorta wanted to get in somehow in the world of exotic car rentals or well sorta exotic

it looks like an ad for a GT500 for sale, but the title states the $50 for 1/4 mile ride. I saw it on there right before I posted this thread, maybe ebay pulled it.1BADGT500 said:I don't believe it. Where's the link?? I searched all over e-bay and couldn't find anything like this.

I guess its not to bad of a price, here in El Paso we have a shity Amusment park and it cost about $20 to get in. Trust me there fastes rollercoster cant even reach 50mph.
Its a company that is doing it. Its not its some dudes car. No harm done. Pretty cool actually

Yea, I thought it was a great price BUT how many runs can they make before needing some expensive repairs and how much money will they actually be making at (50 bucks a pop) after oil changes, tires, clutch, etc...
10 runs = 500.00 gross profit / 100 runs = 5,000.00 gross profit / 1200 runs to pay for the car if they got it for 60,000.00 not including overhead, repairs and expenses.. PRETTY CHEAP!
I bet they sell the car before they get a couple hundred runs on it and just buy another one... watch for this car for sale on e-bay before too long (way above MSRP no doubt).
Wow I am shocked
This was my idea hahaha
