It was Awesome..
It was a Awesome exp... but only thing that the time I select the Traffic was too much.
Could not explore the full Speed Ride.. the guide/co-pilot was Great...I can honestly say this was the most fun and engaging car I have ever driven. Even with the automatic/paddle shifted transmission...I love it

Little Red Ferrari
OK, I've seen the negative reviews from other participants. While I don't discount their experience I have to say that my experience was as good as it can get. Great car, great co-pilot. The conversation was fluid... No awkward pauses. Do I really have to describe the car. OK, it's Red with classic Tan interior. Lots of torque and I like the paddles but not much beats the old shifters. The ride is firm but not hard and the cornering is flat. Enough of this . It was a wonderful experience....

360 Modena
Had a fun time. Eugene was a great co-pilot. He knew a lot about the 360 Modena. Other reviews that complain about the tipping, should consider what they paid for the hr. and how much these cars cost and especially their maintenance expenses. All in all I recommend Motorsport Lab and this driving experience.

How to Steal a Ferrari
Step One - Book a drive with Motorsports.
Step Two - During the drive just keep going because you can't stand to drive your own car.
If you thought this was the most fun you can have with your pants on, just take your pants off and drive naked!
Here's my video of the excitement: http://youtu.be/ln30-wOflnA?hd=1

Awesome
I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present and he had an awesome experience! He downplayed it but he was over the top in his praise afterwards.

A once in a life time experiance.
I wasn't sure what to expect. The people on the office were very professional and helpful. The Sherpa Eugene was great. He was patient and knew everything there was to know about the Ferrari. He drove first just to show a few things and then gave me the wheel. 15 miles of winding roads including some places where you can open it up a little and before you know it your time is over. Absolutely enjoyed every part of the adventure!

Have to do it again
I had a great time driving the ferrari, eugene showed me just how hard I was able to push the car and knew a lot about the car itself. He was very laid back and a great guy to have as my sherpa. The car was absolutely amazing. Will have to do it again.

Awesome experience
This was a great "bucket list" experience. The car was fantastic and just begged to be driven hard. The rev limit allow for plenty of speed and the instructor was excellent. Only thing that could have been better is if it was at a closed track

Many thrills per dollar!
I bought my experience on Groupon for $89! Even with tax and a healthy tip, it was well worth it. Actually better than I expected. Awesome route through North Scottsdale and D.C Ranch area with some fun on the 101 as well!

Porsches for a Modena
There are 5 Porsches in my household. I had never considered a Ferrari because they're out of my price range. But now, after driving this 360-Modena at the Motorsports Lab, I WAS IMPRESSED. What a great time I had. My 'sherpa' Eugene was a great guy. Maybe if I disposed of all my Porsches, I could get a Ferrari. You'll be impressed, too.

Wow-eeee-wow-wow. . . . is that a word?
Awesome, mind numbing, a blast! You couldn't ask for a nicer group of people to schedule, plan and make your experience one to remember. Absolutely perfect 360 Modena, a dream supercar to get to "experience" on a well layed out road course. My sherpa was the best, super nice, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. p.s. got alot of co-workers and friends thinking about adding this to their must-do list! Thank You!!!!!!!

One more thing off my bucket list
This was purchased for my husband as a Christmas present. He was thrilled. I am sure he was thinking that this present sure beat a gift of shirts or ties. He couldn't stop talking about the drive to all his friends all day long. The young man that accompanied my husband on the ride was super. It was a fantasy ride of a life time. Thanks so much.

Fantastic Time
Great way to spend an hour in Scottsdale, the guide really knows what he's doing...highly recommend! Hopefully they can find a racetrack soon but driving around town and opening it up on the 202 was great!

Great Experience
Eugene took me on a great run in the Aston Martin. Amazing car, informed co-pilot and a beautiful day. A great chance to drive a car that most will never own. Thanks!

Great Experience I can take off my "Bucket List" now
This was an awesome memorable experience. I drove the Aston Martin although I wanted the Ferrari. But still was awesome. Customer service was great. They let me drive the Aston Martin and gave me a complimentary drive in the Ferrari since it had been totalled before my scheduled date and therefore wasnt available. Still waiting on that phone call to go drive the Ferrari. Loved Motorsport Lab. Thank you guys for that experience. Will see you soon!!

Awesome Experience for my BF!!!
I bought this groupon for my BF for an early Christmas present, and he absolutely loved it!!! He got to drive his Aston Martin of his dreams, and the sherpa with him only added to his experience. The driver took him on a really cool route, and then even stopped to take pictures of him in the car with our digital camera. Definitely recomend this experience to everyone I know!

Great Time...
I'm into cars, my wife got me the experience as a gift for father's day - highly recommended. Rode with Sean Neal, which maximized the experience with his knowledge of the car and his laid back style. Looking forward to my next trip this summer in Boston...

Car great, Sherpa oustanding cousrse too slow and too much trafific
The condition of the car, the knowlede of Eugene was first class. Driving around Boston does not allow you sto stretch the car out. Storrow drive. Sildiers Field past the police station is too slow a course. Please select another course ; maybe further down Mass Pike rather than just the Mass Pike extension into Newtown a ways.

Incredible experience with great customer service!
The car, the route and the people were exceptional and with the weather being beautiful, it made for a perfect experience. I can't wait until they're back in New England. Thanks.

Great experience
This was a dream come true. Ive always wanted to drive an aston martin. Motorsports lab made this possible, and i couldnt have enjoyed it more. My sherpa was great, very informative and enthusiastic. I would absoluutely do this again, maybe make it an annual thing. Thank you to motorsports lab and their staff for making a childhood dream come true.

I have got to get me one of those!
I have no complaints after my driving experience in the Ferrari! My ride along dude was real cool put me at ease. From the time I arrived at check-in to the time I checked-out, the service was quick and effecient. I would def do it again and next time I'll really go for it!!!

great experience
Absolutely awesome. The ferrari was so fast it was ridiculous. Accelerating through turns and past cars was a blast. Office was difficult to find and contact. Eugene was great, gave me confidence in the car and was very knowledgable. Overall A+

Great Ride, I Survived
Great ride in the Ferrari Moderno. My ride-a-long 'ninja' was knowledgeable about fast cars and eased all my fears. Exciting hour behind the wheel of a car that's pure engine and performance. Check in was easy and fast. Driving was exciting and exhilarating. Give it a go. What do you have to lose? Might have to come back to give the Aston Martin a try.

Awesome Car - next time I would like to do my ride down the Mass PIKE !
Traffic around Boston was rough in the am but we found a good spot to let it run.

Bucket List Success!!
There are just no words to describe what it was like to drive the Ferrari F360 Modena. The car was clean and looked great inside and out. On the road, the car was incredibly powerful. Eugene, my sherpa, was key in helping me understand the car and how to get the most fun out of the drive. Check this one off the bucket list as a real winner!

Great Experience
Driving the Ferrari 360 for the first time was amazing. Cant wait to get in that Aston Martin. Sean did a great job and picked a great route to be able to get on the Ferrari 360 and not have to worry about much traffic.

Walking on Air
What a great experience I had driving the Aston Martin DB9! Storrow Drive is like an F1 track and having a pro like Sean along to keep me focused, was a real plus! Gotta' try that Ferrari soon!

Justin St.Laurent
I'm ruined...but still smiling!!
After driving the Aston Martin DB9 I am ruined for driving my own vehicle. Once you taste 450 HP and all that GO GO nothing else seems right, like airplanes and such. Sean, my sherpa, was great and the route was perfect. Two days later and I'm still grinning.

Unbelievable
What an incredible experience. Once in a lifetime opportunity to drive a Ferrari. It is intimidating at first, but my Sherpa Eugene made me feel comfortable like we were just out for a cruise. The power, sound, and handling are unlike any vehicle you will ever drive. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves cars and has always dreamed of driving a Ferrari.

Awsome!!!
WOW.
The Ferrari was incredible. Of course once you first sit in it you feel intimitated and consequently drove it like a 80 year old. Once you get aclimated, the power and sounds of the Ferrari leave you breathless and wanting you to push it more and more...Unbelivable experience, Thanks Sean

What's not to LOVE about driving a Ferrari?
It's not just about driving a Ferrari. The PEOPLE at Motorsport Lab make the difference. Everything is organized, the people are warm and professional and take care of everything. Kasey runs the office like; and my Sherpa Eugene is . . the perfect Sherpa that you want on a Ferrari ride in Boston.
Ferrari is not only a piece of Italian engineering, it is a work of art & fashion; the people of Motorsport Lab are business artists that will assist you in one of the rides of a lifetime.

Great experience in a great car!
The Ferrari was incredible to drive and Sean the Sherpa was a great guide through the experience. He really knows the car and made the experience enjoyable.

Great experience, something everything should get to try
I had a great time, they are located right next to South Station which is a plus. Everyone was very friendly, and the car was fantastic and driving was an unbelievable once in a life time experience!
I highly recommend this experience to anyone who likes exotic cars or speed! I drove the Ferrari Modena 360.

Two Boys Get "the Birthday Present of a Lifetime"
My 11 and 13 year old supercar motorheads are thrilled beyond belief to have been on twin rides with both cars yesterday. They have pictures and stories, felt kindred spirits with Eugene and Sean, and will relish this experience for the rest of their lives. Great gift for Junior Motorheads...and great motivation to do well in school so they can buy their own when they grow up (or at least to take more rides from Motorsport Lab!!)

Great Experience
Driving the car was a blast! Sean (the guide) was helpful in getting me started and fun to be with. He got us out and back safely but did not interfere at all when it was time to really push the car. The 6500rpm limit is not an issue because that's plenty of rpm's to really experience the power.
Terrific car, guide, and experience. Highly recommended!!

John Wood
Very fun
It was an excellent experience. My "Sherpa" Eugene was a cool guy and with his knowledge of the roads I was able to get the DB9 up to 100. Amazing car. I only wish the ride was longer than 45 minutes but I had a groupon so it wasn't the full 500$. All in all it was well worth it.

Incredibe Experience
Amazing car and incredible experience. 60mph on Storrow Drive never felt so easy and the torque at all speeds makes one want to take the car on a more open road

Can I go again?
The Ferrari Modena is breathtaking! The chance to sample a supercar for an hour is much too compelling, and rare, to resist. The acceleration at any speed (well, above 15 mph) is memorable, but the high-speed lane changes in Boston traffic are an even bigger grin. Loved it!

Absolutely Amazing and Worth Every Penny!!
Driving the Aston Martin was out of this world! The car is a true work of art and handles like a dream!! Cassie was so nice and very accommodating to my schedule and time table as this was a birthday present. I will DEFINITELY recommend this to others!!

A Powerful and Beautiful Vehicle
The DB9 is a beautiful performance automobile. Shawn was a great guide showing me all the features. I was having such a great time driving I never turned on the radio with the 700 amp. This is a car I would like to drive on the Watkins Glen track.

Great ride!
I received a one-hour Ferrari drive for Father's Day and was finally able to use it recently. Driving the car was great!... just not long enough. My guide, Andrew, was personable and knowledgeable. Overall, a highly recommended experience!

Aston Martin DB9
Couldn't have been any better, the car was amazing. Paddle shifting was easy and fun, and the car accelerated and handled fantastically. Great ride all around, I want one.

Should have had a pace car to watch my grin ...
Driving the 360 Modena was a blast. Driving a real performance machine such as this gets your blood pumping. The driving sherpa was very instructive and made the driving options clear. A drive around Boston and suburbia truly whets the appetite for a course where the limits of the car could be pushed.

Pinch me if I'm Dreamcarring
Wonderful time, great driving experience, leaves me pining for the autobahn or autostrada. My sherpa was personable and helpful, adding to the enjoyment. The DB9 met and exceeded my expectations, we won't speak of the speed limit.

Shane O'Neill
Highly Recommend
My time with the Aston Marten DB9 was incredible. The paddle shifters were easy to adjust to, the acceleration of the car was immediate and unlike anything I have experienced, and the car handled like it was on rails. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, it's the closest you will ever come to driving a roller coaster!

Awesome car
The Ferrari is very well-maintained, the transmission is simple to use - even for individuals without experience driving standard transmissions. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their cars and the instructor's passion for automobiles was evident. I would strongly recommend to others.

Oh that sweet Aston sound...
Wow that Aston V12 exhaust note growling down Storrow drive while pushing past traffic at 5000 rpm...so worth it! My girlfriend took the Ferrari, also amazing, and gave chase down Storrow. Fantastic machines and great staff- had a blast. Already recommended to all my friends. Great deal through Groupon. Thanks motorsport lab.

Awesome Ride
A great opportunity to take a Ferrari for a spin. My Sherpa, Andrew cut me enough room to maneuver this piece of art through Boston roads and the exhilaration of speed lifting up the vehicle as in take off was second to none. Wife is now booked for same. Thank You to youre team and experience.

awesome
Taking the Aston Martin out for a drive last week was a thrilling experience. It's an amazing car with an exhaust that really growls and more than enough power to enjoy; even on the mean streets of Boston and Cambridge. It is truly an automotive masterpiece. The Motorsport Lab made it a great experience. Everything happened right on time, everyone was friendly and helpful, the "copilot" was knowledgeable about the car and knew the route we needed to take well. He even took pictures for me.

A Blast
This was a great time, driving the Ferrari was a great experience, the staff was excellent. i had Andrew as my co-pilot and he truly exceptional. the route i drove allowed for some slicing and dicing, while not at a high rate of speed, but got a chance to handle the car, the hour went by too fast, but then my son got his hour behind the wheel and being able to share this experience with my son, was the best aspect of the day, would recommend this to anyone.

Drive supercar? Check
A very memorable experience, giving me the pleasure of now saying: yea, I've driven a Ferrari. Great value with the Groupon deal. Office staff and S, the "sherpa", were very friendly. S provided the right balance: a tip or guidance here and there but recognzed I knew how to drive the car and shift and gave me the right amount of freedom.

Living the dream
If you've ever dreamed about getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari, this is your chance to give it a shot. The team was great and made me feel comfortable on the drive right away. I went during late morning when the traffic was minimal, which I'd recommend. You're not hitting top speed, but you still get a chance to feel the power of the car. A memorable experience for any car fan.

Great experience
The DB9 was a blast, everyone was really friendly, and I walked away with a huge grin on my face. I had expected it would be a big headache going in--worth it, but a pain in the butt--but the experience was fantastic. Really laid back, and worth every penny.

Fun Stuff! Give It A Try!
I bought a couple of these driving experiences for my friend and myself as a birthday gift to her. Man, was it worth it. We drove the Aston Martin DB9 and it was a fun being able to experience the opulence and power of such a high-end car first hand. Although it is a bit pricey, if you are looking for a unique gift or something to do, I'd say give it a shot. Just be prepared to fill out a lot of paperwork! :)

This was definitely a thrilling experience, an amazing car, a friendly crew, and scenic drive. I would recommend it to friends and family. It's a great gift if you're thinking about surprising someone, and wanting to make them very happy.

LOVELY FATHER'S DAY PRESENT
My daughter gave me this as a Father's Day present. It was my first time in a Ferrari. It was my first time in car that expensive. It was a blast! I enjoyed using the paddles I took about about 20 pictures. The pictures were sent out over the web -with many positive comments. I have two friends who are quite interested as well. It makes a very nice experience or gift for a friend or relative.

Ferrari Driving Experience
This was my first time driving a Ferrari and using paddle shifters. It was great fun and exciting. Of course it would have been more fun on a closed course where you didn't have to be concerned with city traffic. The sherpa wa great and the legal stuff should probably be presented before you arrive for your drive. It's necessary, but one could use some time to digest it before the appointment.

2nd annual ferrari experience
This was my second drive and it was everybit as good as last years drive. Greatly enjoyed the new route. If only traffic had been a little lighter on the return leg !!! Highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves driving. My drive sherpa was excellent.

Lots of fun
I drove the Ferrari and had a good experience. My Sherpa was fun. I almost cancelled after hearing all the legal restrictions and giving them a "blank check" on my credit card. Thankfully there were no incidents. I drove for about 45 minutes and had the opportunity to punch it a few times and hear that beautiful Ferrari wail. Good time but I used a Groupon and I couldn't imagine paying full price.

Enjoyed my time in the DB9. Rare opportunity to drive a car totally out of my reach. Friendly people made the experience very enjoyable. Legal restrictions are somewhat frightening.

Best Way to Start a Day
Unless you already have an Aston Martin DB9 this is an experience not to be missed. The DB9 exudes luxury, panache and power. Its sleek body attracts "thumbs ups" at every intersection. The 420+ HP is delivered in an extremely well behaved manner. As you move up through the gears via the paddle shifters the DB9 slides you through traffic with the agility of a ballet dancer. But Motorsport will not let you unleash - unless you are willing to drop some serious $.

Great Experience
I very much enjoyed my experience in the Aston Martin DB9. It was great to get to use paddle shifters for the first time, and have some fun on the Boston streets. Driving the curves on Storrow was awesome, but would have loved a heads up about construction. Thanks!

A Totally Thrilling Ride
As someone who grew up with the muscle cars of the '60s, I have always had a thing for fast cars. Driving the Aston Martin was a dream come true. I loved every minute of it. Sean, my instructor, was friendly and informative. The experience made me feel like a kid again!

Better than expected!
Got this as a fathers day present from my wife. I initially was aprehensive after reading the reviews. The Aston was great, it's a neat car. Sean was very good also, he certainly added to the experience. Parking was an issue. Had to drive around multiple times and wound up in an expensive garage. Overall, better than expected. Thanks!

Great Ride, Bummed about Video
This was gift for Father's Day last year and boy was it worth the wait. The only disappointment was someone forgot to load the video card so while waiting for our video, got a call saying a credit would go back on the card as the video never ran. Was looking forward to sharing it with my grandson.

WAY too much fun!
So looks like I need to start playing the lottery because an Aston Martin DB9 is on my wish list. The whole experience was great. The car was spectacular, the route was great, and my sherpa was a great guy to talk cars with for an hour. Will be hard for my wife to top this Fathers Day gift! Best of luck to Motorsport Lab!!!

Yet again, another fantastic experience
Yet again, this was another fantastic experience with the Motorsport Lab. The car was absolutely exquisite. The DB9 sounded as amazing as I had hoped. The drive was great. They had changed up the route which was nice. It got you a little bit away from the traffic of downtown. My co-pilot was great. She had great knowledge of the car, and was very pleasant to drive with. At no point did I feel like someone was breathing down my neck. I greatly look forward to my next opportunity to drive with the

Aston Martin DB9
The DB9 is a very nice car to drive. Make sure you lower the window to hear the exhaust sound. Music to the ears. Best time to rent is between 10am - 1pm because of less traffic. You start off at the Boston Common Garage and go up then down Storrow Drive and then back to Atlantic Avenue.

Total Excitement!
The excitement I felt driving the DB9 was amazing! I was able to drive with very little Storrow Drive traffic and feel the car handle the curves and hug the highway effortlessly. This was the first paddle shift car I've driven and was surprised how easily I adapted to it. The down low grunt was great to feel. Sean did a terrific job keeping me on track! The smile on my face was still there several hours after the experience. Well worth the wait, and the perfect birthday gift. Thanks

Worth the ride
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Brendan, my co-pilot was informative without being overbearing. I was able to get some very light traffic on Storrow Drive so I was able to see how the car handled in the corners. Great Father's Day gift, even if it took a year to cash in the Groupon.

My DB9 experience was AMAZING!!!
The car, the sound, the weather, my Sherpa (Hats off to Sean!).....and of course, the turning heads.....for 60mins I was "The Man"......and I loved every second of it!!! You can't but exit this car with a smile painted across your face..... Until you get back into your own car that is! :-)

Awesome Ride
Despite a couple of small traffic jams, the experience was incredible. Driving an Aston Martin DB9 is awesome even in Boston traffic. What made it an even better experience was having Courtney along for the ride. She was not only friendly and fun to talk to, but very knowledgeable about the route and how the car handled. I will definitely do this again. Just keep an eye on those RPM's!

A must for all Auto Enthusiasts
Great Opportunity to experience life behind the wheel of a supercar. I drove the DB9 and had a great time! After sitting in the drivers seat, you start to really understand why these cars exist. In a Hyundai Accent its easy to loathe having to go from point A to point B, but, at the controls of a DB9, you begin to wish point B was somewhere in LA! The deep tone of the engine, the comfort of the interior, and the power behind the throttle all made this an experience I am eager to repeat.

Great experience
Knowledgeable & enthusiastic staff; Fun driving route along Storrow Drive (although a bit short); Can push the car as fast as you want as long as you stay under 6500 rpm; I am all about tipping but the suggestions for groupon customers who paid $90 are to tip on the regular exorbitant price of $499 so you effectively paying double with a 20% tip...still worth the experience though if you haven't driven a Ferrari

Knowledgable co-pilot (Shawn) with good tips. Company clearly cares v much about their cars. Downsides were all the odd $2500 charge threats which made experience worrisome..

Nice experience, Great time
superb car. nice folks to deal with.
Should have a better path for driving, the road we drove had max speed limit of 45. i dint go beyond 55. should be having a location outside boston (atleast few days a week), where we can quickly enjoy a ride on interstate.
As other reviewer said would have loved to get a ferrari shirt for the price.

Fantastic!
Excellent experience! Great car and a great instructor. I would highly recommend The Motorsport Lab. Everyone should drive a Ferrari at least once in their life!

What a rush!!
Great time. The people wewre friendly and created a great experience. I have driven fast before but never felt the exhilaration of that kind of power and feel.
You have to do this!Would have loved a ferrari shirt in the price.

A dream come true!
I had always had a dream of driving a Ferrari. Thanks to both Groupon and The Motorsport Lab, that dream came true. After I got over the initial shock of signing the legal document being responsible for all possible damages and daily business use of ~$4000 per day (no adventure comes without fear), it was an awesome experience - going along the Charles and Boston Common! Great drive! Sean was very nice and instructive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience!
I absolutely would recommend taking the Ferrari for a test drive. The acceleration, the sound, and the grip was like nothing else, what a thrill! The only downside to the experience was that it only lasted 30 minutes, when the expectation was 45. I hope to take the DB9 out when it comes in, but the full price is a bit steep. Hoping for another Groupon.

Definitely a nice time,
A very pleasant experience with co-pilot Sean. My first time driving a Ferrari and hopefully won't be my last. I have no problem recommeding this service. Thanks for running a good show. I lucked out picking a near perfect morning drive. Good luck.

Great car, almost perfect experience!
Car was in great shape and fantastic to drive, acceleration and sounds are amazing. Co-driver Sean was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which adds to the experience. Downside, it lasted less than 30 minutes (not much traffic), I would have hoped they could change the set route to factor this in, I would have been very disappointed if I had paid full price. The 6,500 rpm limit is not a problem as I want people to see me in this car and not just a blur going by! Overall a wonderful experience

Beautiful day, beautiful drive
Count me in as another happy dad. It was really cool to discover just how inspiring a Ferrari can be... to be immersed in the experience for an hour gives a taste of what it's like to be in the driver's seat of the car being stared at... after we stopped, several people stopped to check the car out, including a taxi driver between fares. Thanks to Brendan for the smooth checkin/out, and to Sean, a fountain of information who helped me to enjoy this beautiful car.

Almost perfect
Hats off to the founder of the company, Brendan and Sean, they were all great. Car was in great shape and wonderful to drive. The acceleration and sounds it made will never be forgotten. That said i had 2 issues. My experience lasted about 30 min because of very little traffic. Overall no traffic was nice but it felt a little quick. The rule about keeping the revs below 6500 was a disappointment. While there's plenty of fun to be had below 6500 rpm I was dying to take it to 8500. Worth it though

A Must for ALL Gearheads
This is what all car enthusiast's must put very high on their "Bucket List". Too awesome to put into words, you must experience the feel, power and maneuverability of the vehicle for yourself. Great support team.
My only regret was not being able to drive longer.

Fun, friendly, oh... and the noise!
I had a great time. The guys at the Motorsport Lab were very friendly and I felt very relaxed. Storrow drive E/W is a great road to drive the Ferrari! Make sure you lower the windows down when going under the passes!! What a beautiful sound
Great stuff and a really good way of spending an hour of your life.

Great drive, Great Conversation
My drive was really excellent. The guys were very cool, and down to earth. We had some pretty good discussions about cars and business. It was pretty interesting hearing about their company and what it does. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Oh right, and the Ferrari. A very nice, fun car. It has such a great exhaust note, and for the groupon price, you can't beat that. I just hope they start doing this with the Aston Martin as well! I'll be first online for that one!

Awesome!
This was a Father's day gift and it was the best ever. Ray was a great instructor and really made me feel at ease driving the car. The way the power rolls on in 4th gear is just incredible. If I ever get a chance to do this again I woudn't even hesitate. The most fun you can have on the streets of Boston.

Wow.
My girlfriend gave me the coolest birthday present of all time!! The 60 minute 360 Modena Ferrari driving experience was a fantasy brought to life! My instructor’s name was Greg, whom I highly recommend, as he was equally as instructional as he was personable. The planned driving route was a thoughtful combination of different driving situations that allowed me to fully appreciate how the car performed which, in comparison, was notably better than Volkswagen haha!

Thrilling
The drive was thrilling and unlike any other experience. My wife bought the 60 minute drive for our 1 year wedding anniversary and I had a great time to say the least. Ray is a great instructor and added to the overall fun of the whole package. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for something unique and engaging!

Ferrari Driving Experience
I had a blast! The Ferrari 360 Modena is one of my most favorite cars on the planet and I can now say that I have driven one. The instructor was great, the car was great and the experience was great! Anyone and everyone who loves cars should definitely do this.

Awesome Drive!!!!
I had a great time driving the car around Boston. Would reccomend it to anyone who likes cars! The 6,500 RPM limit is a bit of a buzzkill as it takes away from the experience a little bit as I was paranoid about it.
Overall though, A+

Friendly staff and great experience
The car alone is amazing. But the friendly staff and the route the specified made it even better. I didn't have any trouble reaching the staff. they were courteous, polite and nice.
the only thing I would have wished for is more time with the car. But to be honest, I don't know if there is "enough time" with a car you love that you don't own...

Chance of a lifetime
Thank you for the great time, a sunny Boston day in early fall with the windows down, the acceleration of an amazing car, the low burble of that engine as we snake along Storrow Drive watching people stair at us not fully knowing what that car was that zoomed past.
Put this on your bucket list for sure, everyone should do this at least once, Thank you Motorsport for the rare opportunity

Driving around Boston was a great experience. I would have liked to have gone on the Mass. Pike one exit for another 15 Minutes of driving. Overall I highly recomend.

Awesome Drive
Nothing beats the sound of a Ferrari accelerating. The paddle shifting was smooth and intuitive, and the handling w perfect. True, I didn't get to go 100mph, but I was more interested in the car's handling and dynamics. The instruction made it easy to feel comfortable driving a car that cost more than many make in a year through the Boston streets. Registration was easy, orientation thorough - overall a great experience.

One of the best rides of my life!
Don’t miss this chance if get it! It was an amazing ride of the Ferrari 360 Modeno. My first time ever and indeed it was a special one.. Completely different feeling driving this superfast car. You drive low to the ground and experience the true power and design of this car during the turns. The guys at Motorsport Lab are really great to deal with. My instructor, Ray, was really friendly and gave me total control of the car. I would highly recommend it if you can do it!

Outstanding Experience
My son gave me The Motorsports Lab Ferrari driving experience as a Father's Day present. Because of other driving experiences that I have had (Richard Petty) my initial thought was it would not add up to this. However, it far exceeded my expectation. The power of the Ferrari and driving in the streets of Boston was really exciting. Thank you Richard for your great high performance car driving instruction.

It's Fun
I had a good time driving and the co-driver was really friendly. If you are looking for a nice ride through town in an amazing car and people staring you all the time, you will have fun. If you are looking for an exciting, race driving, high revving experiance, this is not it. Its tempting to take it to the limit but you cannot. I still had fun though.

The whole experience was great from start to finish. Rich my driving instructor did a great job teaching me the finer points of driving one of the worlds nicest automobiles. What else can I say but Ferrari.

Couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day
The entire experience was awesome. Hats off to the Motorsports Lab team. The 360 Modena is a beautiful machine that turns heads wherever you go. It handles like an absolute dream. Ray was a great co-pilot as well - very knowledgeable of road conditions and potential driving hazards, and great company in the car.
Without a doubt the entire experience was phenomenal. I can gladly cross this item off of my bucket list.

Amazingly Simple, beautiful and Fast
This car was amazing. I wish they gave me more time to drive it around. The handling was really impressive especially around Storrow Drive. One thing drivers needs to be aware is that every tool on the road will want to race if you are in this red hot ferrari. Do not get pulled into doing it. Just enjoy the car for what it is, a speed machine! If you race others and red line it, they will charge you extra$. This is by far the best test drive I ever did.

Red, Mean & Wicked Fast!!!!
I had driven lots of fast cars in the past but never a Ferrari... it was breathtaking! Racing up and down Storrow Drive was the most fun I had all year and won't ever forget. "Ray" was a great guy to have in the car; giving tips and pointing out hundreds of potholes to avoid ..... thanks. I hope to be back soon!

What a powerful experience. Being able to maneuver through traffic on Storrow Drive with unbelievable pick-up speed and handle curves without down-shifting is an experience that this Ferrari holds for you. It is beautiful. It is extremely powerful. It handles like a dream. It is fun.

MotorSports Lab Experience
What a great opportunity to experience the thrill of a Ferrari on the streets of Boston. I have been a fan of Ferrari especially in Formula One and have waited for years to have the opporuntiy to drive one. They guys at MotorSports Lab were great and went out of their way to guarantee me a good time. I must also thank their alliance with Groupon which made it all possible.

100% Worth Every Penny and more!
This was awesome! If you havent driven a Ferrari, this is your chance. Thank you so much Ray for making this such a great experience. I thought it was going to be lame driving around downtime, but that I not the case! Luckily most roads are 50+ mph. This was well worth it, and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Who Ah!
I had an outstanding experience driving the Ferrari with Rich, as my co-pilot. What a thrill is was having a rocket engine behind you! It was not only enjoyable, but extremely informative using the paddle shifters. I never thought it would be this easy . The Ferrari's capabilities were highlighted and demonstrated in real time. I would recommend this to all who dare to experience perfection in a $225K race car. Who Ah! (Remember that scene in the "Scent of a Woman" when Pacino drove a Ferrari)

Handles Like A Dream
Tremendous! You don't get into the car so much as put it on and wear it ... you can't help but feel that you are one with the machine. As for performance, the acceleration is certainly there, but it was the handling that really impressed me. The incredibly solid feel of the road, that Ferrari suspension, absolutely no play in the steering wheel, it all added up to an unforgettable driving experience. Be sure to drive with the windows down, so you can hear that engine. Great customer service!

Awesome Experience
Where do i start. First off all just being able to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari is a once in a lifetime experience unless you are rich enough to own one. Motorsports Lab was able to provide that experience and delivered BIG TIME! Rich was my co-pilot as we cruised the streets of Boston and put the Ferrari's 390 BHP engine to the test. And the car did not dissapoint. Awesome car, ride and company. Something i will remember for the rest of my life!
Hopefully they do another groupon. Lambo??

I recently purchased The Ferrari experience for my father as a gift and only have the most positive things to say about The Motorsport Lab. My Dad had the best time with many thanks to Ray and his team. The car was outstanding, my dad agrees. I was impressed by the outstanding customer service that was extended to us. I highly recommend The Motorsport Lab and thank them for an EXCELLENT Experience!!!

Awesome!
The Ferrari experience was awesome! I could hear the engine explode and purr when I took it on Storrow and Memorial drive. I also want to apologize to the company because I had one bad attitude as it seemed sketchy and took forever as I was one of the late people to book online and had to be wait-listed. I even threatened to call anyone I could to scream fraud which was wrong on my end. Motorsport lab treated me with the utmost respect and kindness even after being such as bitch. Ciao!

Despite all the paperwork and legal talk, the experience was fantastic!
The Motorlabs' guys were professional and very helpful.
The drive was just the way I expected it to be - you are one-on-one with a super car with just enough information from the instructor.
Keep up good work and good luck!

Excitement Tempered
Overall, I had a good time and did enjoy the experience. Be a little clearer regarding the 1 hour or 15 mile driving experience and find a route with fewer pot holes. It's a shame that we had to hold back so often.

I had a great time and enjoyed time spent. I would only like to make a few suggestions: Find an alternative route with less pot holes (takes much of the fun of the drive), less rushed in the end to check out the car & take pictures. Thanks Ray for the great time!

What great fun!
This was a simple experience that turned out fantastic. I had a great time driving the ferrari and I would definitely be interested in doing a similar experience again, but with a Lamborghini Gallardo or Murcielago next time. What a trip though! One hour is not enough time either, the one hour time limit really felt like 15 minutes.

I loved my experience with the Motorsport Lab!!! NO JOKE
There was quite a bit of paper work to fill out... which I was supposed to do from home but I'm not good at checking my email so I forgot to do that in advance (my bad guys) other than that, I LOVED IT! The car was gorgeous, the track was a bit busy the day I drove but it's ok. The one thing I COULD change about the day would be the $11 I paid to park in the parking deck near the the location... there needs to be a reserved space for the drivers. THANKS A LOT GUYS!

You Have to Try This!
The performance of the Ferrari 360 was amazing. Cornering seemed to be on rails, braking straight and tractable, and unearthly acceleration. Rich, my Motorsport advisor, kept me safe and within the law. Paddle shifters were easier than I imagined. Rich also mentioned that the 360 makes a great attraction for conference attendees. An idea I may use. Thanks for the ride of a lifetime.

A Surreal 450 Horepower Experience
Not sure how to describe it but being an absolute surreal experience. The MSL crew are very grounded and easy to talk to. During the the driving experience not once did I feel cramped and was told to not push the car a little. If you can do driving experience, by all means DO!!!

Just a quick thanks to the crew at Motorsport Lab for providing such an enjoyable experience. Everyone was professional and friendly and the car was in pristine condition.

What a really nice experience and a great Father's day gift from my son. My host, Rich, was a great guy, the car is fabulous but oh the Boston traffice and summer construction made it difficult to really let the Ferrari stretch its wings.Nevertheless, I can now say I've driven a Ferrari!, Thank You Motorsport Club

My husband and I are both absolutely thrilled with our experience with The Motorsport Lab. I got him the Ferrari ride through Groupon and he didn't believe it until we were actually there. He loved it, he felt like a million bucks for a while! I would deffinetly recommend this to anyone who enjoys and appreciates a beautiful car like the Ferrari that is used here. The experience is worth every penny.

If you drive this thing...
This is an absolute top notch, must-do experience for you car nuts. But, be warned, if you drive this thing you're probably gonna want one. Some of you may even NEED one. Even my wife was wondering if there was a way we could make one happen after she drove it.

BOSTON AT ITS BEST
Wonderful way to see the heart of Boston and near by vicinity. The driving experience was delicious and the co-pilot kept me entertained. At the age of sixty, it was reassurnig to get an admiring gaze from a young lass (I know she wasn't looking at my lines) Paddle on dudes.

WOW!!!
For anyone wanting to drive a Ferrari, this is THE way to do it. The car is in mint condition, easy to drive, and a true joy. The car sells itself: the staff make it all come together. Everything was fast, simple, and pain free. Rich was the perfect person to co-pilot my drive. Bravo The Motorsport Lab, and thanks for bringing such a wonderful experience within my reach!

A very awesome and memorable experience!
Like most of you I had never driven a Ferrari before. I've driven a lot of BMW's, a few Porsches, driven on race tracks, but had never had the opportunity to drive an "Exotic", let alone a Ferrari. I can honestly say this was the most fun and engaging car I have ever driven. Even with the automatic/paddle shifted transmission.
Rich, the co-pilot from Motorsport Lab is a great guy too. If you have fun, think about giving him a tip.

Awesome experience - from when I checked in and was doing the paperwork at Boloco to when I got out of the Beautiful 360 Modena. Great people, great route they take you on and the car is in excellent shape and is in top condition, i was in the drivers seat when it rolled 5700 miles, that right just 5700. Thanks for the experience!!!
