Wake Up With Cheddar

Getting the Behind the Wheel at Velocity Driving 

One ever wanted to drive a fancy sports car like an action hero. Well, our pal Shannon Lanier got the chance to turn those dreams into reality. Wait till you see these cars, check it out. This is a beautiful car. You know, I've always wanted to own a luxury vehicle, but the way my bank account is set up, I can't do that just yet. Well, luckily today I am at velocity driving which gives every day regular Joe like me an opportunity to get behind the wheel of an vehicle like this mclaren I just got out of. So I'm joined by Matt here to tell me a little bit more about the driving program you have. So first of all, you gotta tell me about all of these beautiful vehicles you have on hand to choose from. Oh, yeah, you can't go wrong with any of these cars. First car we have here today just into the, our lot, our brand new mclaren G T that is a flux screen is the color of it. I think it looks great. Only has 100 miles on it. And I was the first real person to get in it rarely works. We just picked it up yesterday and we just drove it over here just for you. All right. Ok. You got a 612 horsepower to that guy twin turbo. That's nice. And the next one here is a beauty also. This is the track weapon. The Porsche 9 11 G T three R S as with any Porsches, the more you pay, the less you get in terms of weight. This car is completely carbon fiber. It is stripped, it doesn't even have door handles. It's got ribbons to pull it. So if you want to go fastest around the track, you want to set a lap record. This is the car for you. Ok. Now I'm familiar with this one, the Lamborghini, this is the iconic wedge design hasn't changed since 1972. When people think of super cars, they think of this one. This is the Lamborghini LP 610 610 horsepower all wheel drive and this goes 0 to 60 in about three seconds. I love these calipers right here. That nice yellow ceramic brakes. This will help you stop as fast as the car looks because you need to slow down. Otherwise you have some problems. All right. And last but definitely not least the Ferrari 4 80 G TV, twin turbo 661 horsepower. This is the gentleman's racer, the Ferrari, this is the one that everyone thinks about as well. This is the direct competitor to Lamborghini. And the way this attain speeds and drives is completely different but equally as effective. And you guys are set up here at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey to give real people an opportunity to get behind the wheel. They'll actually get to drive these vehicles. Ok? So tell me how this process works. We allow velocity here to allow people to have access to all these super cars that they only seen on their, maybe their poster wall or on youtube. You get a chance to drive these, the Children get a chance to ride them for as little as a dollars it starts out. We do a couple of laps out here and for Children, we allow them to come and have a ride. That is cool that my kids would love that. And how fast can people go when they're like, trying to really pedal to the metal typical and straight away on our, our test lot here, about 100 miles an hour on our actual race tracks. We do race events down in South Jersey about 170. So these cars are all going to be on hand and people get to come and pick which car that they want to ride. Sure. Absolutely. It's their choice and more importantly as many cars as they want. All right. All right. Which one of those, by the way do you wanna take? I like the purple Porsche What about you? It's so beautiful. I think it's weird when it's like, it can go to 100 and 86 miles an hour. It's like, where are you gonna be able to drive? Really? Where, where are you going with that car? Stay tuned guys because you don't wanna miss Shannon, he's getting behind the wheel of that Lamborghini later on in the show. And it's gonna be very funny because he goes about 10 miles an hour.
