Nothing real exotic like a GTO Ferrari or anything. I did drive a real 289 Cobra once. A number of pretty rare Corvettes like L88's and L89's. I drove a 1967 L89 Corvette (one of 16 factory aluminum head tri-power 427's) for seven years, a real one that is pretty exotic and valuable although it was not real valuable at the time. It was a turd when I got it in 1985, Pro Team sold it for $190,000 a few summers ago needing a restoration, probably worth lots more now. I literally beat the crap out of that car for years until I sold it in 1992. Probably put 20,000 miles on it but to the car, it felt like 200,000 miles.
I have had my vintage race Corvette at TWS a number of times.
Pretty rare considering that it was a very dominant race car in the late 60's. Do replicas count?
