Maybe you can ask on the Shelby subforum as well...
But seriously, your car looks cooler than a GT500!

If I were you, I'd try to rent a Ford GT!

You could probably rent it at one of those exotic car rentals, I have seen and heard of a lot of them being in south Florida area.

Sounds cheesy to me, get something other than a GT500.

Ok not to be mean but what is it with people asking to rent expensive performance cars from a private owner. I doubt it will ever fly.
Bottom line the whole thing is a setup to get a nice car temporarily for some cash. Then the renter is gonna beat the snot out of the car because he paid for its use. Hence the owners already know this and they are gonna say no way.
There is a few places that rent exotic cars. Usually you are looking at about $1000 per hundred thousand of value. So a GT500 would cost you around $1000 to rent for the day. Enzo runs around $7000 a day. Not to mention you sign a contract that the vehicle will be returned in the condition it was rented out in. Any damages that occur from wreckless driving are on you. Can you say wages garnished the rest of your life for totalling a Ferrari Enzo. Normal accident the insurance picks up, if you were speeding or doing other wreckless driving the insurance is coming after you.
Thing is showing up 1 time in a nice car just brings up questions. When people talk and they find out it is a rental the impressed feeling goes to disappointed.

they are cool....not as much light output as i had anticipated, but that short-coming is made up by their awesome, unique look during both day AND night....
Thanks

Okay, not to be mean, but you OBVIOUSLY havent read the entire thread...u just read the initial post and immediately went to your own reply.....Dont Do that!

1) the original owner wouldBE there at the wedding
2) me renting the car isNOT to act like its mine, its just to have it there for the guests to see
3) the car would be driven for about 5 minutes just todrive around the lake the wedding location is on
4) the contract portion of it has already been taken care of

thanks for your input, BUT, for future reference, please read the entire post before you start replying....
