They should really be more careful who they rent those cars to, but hey don't rent something with an LS3 in it if you don't want it being "driven"

what you trying to say?? Im gonna beat it like a rental, there isnt even traction control... that suprised me. The cars made to be driven, hard, which is what all the 50+ crowd dosent do with thier Vette's. I'll just compensate for that

annd its an auto, so no rev limiter launches

Smart move on the insurance. I thought all Vetts had traction/stability controll. You sure it does not have it?

I only rented a Vette once and returned it a few hours latter with no second gear.
