Default rental cars just got better

Just got back from Florida and Hertz gave me this to thrash about.



So, its only a V6 but its 200hp and 235ft/Lb's but it got up and went just fine.

Only critisism was the traction control was weak but so what!

Everyone wanted to have a look at the car as it was a new model 3 weeks old and no one had seen one yet.

I was even asked if I wanted to run it at the strip when we went racing!

Thought about it but if it breaks I was in the shite!

Should have put 'sponsored by Hertz' in the window and done it.

Hertz is owned by FoMoCo so they often get a crack at the new interesting cars - especially in the states.

It's a good way to get cars out on the street and to get bums on seats.
