Gotham Dream Cars

Went on the Dream Car tour. Absolutely amazing experience. Jon is a great tour guide. If you are a car guy, this is for you. To equate to a great experience, it felt like the first time I went to Six Flags or Disney World as a child. Hope to do it again in the future.

STAY AWAY! These are the shadiest people. They are good at finding ways to rip you off and are super rude. Rented from them once and at the last minute they said my car was unavailable but could get a more expensive car. I did, was fine. So my family bought me a gift certificate for Christmas for another rental. Every time I tried to book a car they told me there were no cars available.

So I would ask ok so when is a car available, any car, and they said 'we'll get back to you'. Of course they didn't. They took our money as it sounds like they've done similar to many others. They bank on the dollar amount being low enough it's not worth going to court.

Jon at Gotham is simply great. Great delivery and pickup service (to your door) - always the newest cars and good pricing. Highly recommend

Cars are new and clean, reliable service and delivery right to my door! I've used many other rental companies and what you book is what you get there are no surprises here! Highly recommend.

Planning a trip to the Hamptons and desiring a high-end car at the very last minute, I contacted Rob at Gotham who said he had a 2019 White Huracan Spyder that was in the shop but would be ready by my desired pick-up date. I agreed and submitted my deposit. The car ran great and really added to my overall trip and experience! The only issues were that there were a couple of lights that kept coming on: low coolant level, and service soon, and a minor issue with the convertible that I was able to resolve myself.

The warnings, however, were false as the car never overheated, and the service soon one that I've seen in my car following service, I suspect was likely due to it not being reset after service was complete. Aside from my awesome experience with the car, I am giving 5 stars for the following reasons. Rob was able to secure me a high demand car at the very last minute when normally, at least from my experience, these cars must be reserved weeks in advance.

Aside from the false warnings, the car ran great and in no way did it negatively impact my experience. The person reviewing the contract and setting me up, Cosmo, was very cool and down-to-earth and was very hospitable in offering me a drink and letting me use the 'higher-end' bathroom when I had to go. His dog was also very cool and friendly too! Also, when I first noticed the lights and took the car back, I could tell he cared and was sincere in his concern.

He told me I did the right thing by coming right back and not taking a risk with the car and my safety. He had another person take it for a test drive to confirm it was a false warning, and to be safe, they opened up the rear cover, undid the screws for the coolant, and topped it off. Upon having the issue with the top not going down, I left a message for Rob and he called me right back and was going to contact service to get more info, just before I was able to give the rear cover a little 'nudge' that was enough for the automated top-down process to complete. Ditto for putting the top up. Finally, when I returned the car, John took $1 off the mile overage rate that saved me over $100.

My only recommendation, which Rob already stated he will be doing, is to follow up with the service department on the issues encountered and ensure they are more thorough before releasing the car. Again, bear in mind, I was able to get that car (2019 White Huracan Spyder) within 2 days of my desired rental date, and they were able to make it happen with only some minor issues.

I will finish off by saying thank you to Rob, John, Cosmo and the team for making it happen, for treating me like family, for being attentive of and concerned about the issues even though they were minor, and for renting me an awesome car that made my trip to the Hamptons an exhilarating and memorable one.

Do not ever use this company! They will mess up your billing and then try and sue you. They have no accountability and or customer service. Do not use them you will lose your money!

Probably not the best place in town, overpriced and the Groupon was not advertised correctly bait and switch.

I purchased a Los Angeles tour for my husband. They have not offered any tours in L.A. for 2 years. I finally asked for a refund which they promised me on May 1. Today I was told that the "owner, " David Sajasi, refused to refund my money. This is a scam, do not fall for it!

I have to say, I was extremely impressed by my experience with GDC. I've been on their mailing list a while and decided to buy a "test drive" at the end of 2016. Even though it said based on availability, the friendly staff at GDC offered me a free upgrade since the car requested was unavailable. Thus began my 20 minutes in heaven with the 458 Spider.

Thanks to my copilot John, who knew exactly where to go to experience the Italian beast's V8 in all its glory, I didn't at all feel limited as people often do when spending limited time with a dream car. I left the test drive satisfied, obviously with the car but also with the GDC staff. I even got to briefly meet and greet Rob Ferretti, who was admittedly a lot nicer than I imagined him.

I received a birthday gift for a driving experience in a Lamborghini Gallardo. I must have called five times trying to get a date for the next available opportunity to drive it. They informed me that I had to call in each day to see if the car was available and if it was I could come down and drive it. I informed them that a reputable business makes an appointment with their customers and doesn't force them to call in daily to see if the product is available.

I was told that there were no other options other than to ask for my money back. I'm waiting for my $250 dollar credit on my card. What a lame experience and I can't believe they don't try harder to earn my business. Oh well, I'll spend the money on another exotic car experience that needs the money.

Not a great experience to be honest. My wife booked me a Ferrari track day for my 40th birthday. On deciding on a day/track I was informed that neither was available and that they'd be adding more track days later on in the year, this was OK, I'd wait. Months passed and I tried again. Nothing, still no tracks/days. Fast forward to over a year later! Called up to find still no days/tracks available and that they've now cancelled this event!

If I hadn't have called I'd have never found out. Absolutely zero communication from them. I'd be extremely cautious about booking any experiences through this company again.

Another positive experience. Rented for the weekend again and all smooth sailing from there! Just be ready to spend $$ but of course if you're even considering renting an 'exotic' car, you need a hefty chunk of disposable income. Totally worth it.

Don't bother with this on groupon. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Bought for my boyfriends birthday on May 1, had to use by June 19th. No big deal, but there was literally one option, and as it turns out my boyfriend couldn't do it that day, so I waited a few days and then all of a sudden all of the options disappeared? I checked for every single location all over the USA and they all say the same thing, no dates.

Now it just seems to me like a bad business to only offer 50 odd days to say use it or lose it, but then to not offer any days at all? I honestly believe I got scammed with all of this. My boyfriend called around June and asked about future dates and the person on the other end said we could pay $50 and use it past the expiration date (just getting more money out of you) but when we called again to question about further dates they said we couldn't use our voucher anymore.

I would check every 2-3 weeks to see if we could find somewhere within driving distance (at this point, I'm willing to drive 5 hours just to do it) but nothing is ever available. I know it's only $125 on groupon but PLEASE do yourself a favor and do not purchase. You will lose every penny you paid for it.

I did not find the Chicago Gotham to review. But here's my.02 on the whole thing. I did it in Schaumburg at the Boomer's stadium parking lot. A, not a $200,000 car. it's a well used, well worn car. Probably $90k. B, Yea it's $125 in an exotic. But it would have been much more fun paying more on a track. See-sawing the wheel in a parking lot at 40 mph isn't a real exploration of the car. It's not really fun. I can squeal an accord around that little course.

I did the dream car tour and overall it was good (not great). For the money you spend on this tour (which is roughly $1k for about 1.5 hours of actual driving time) you would expect 6 super cars. Instead what we got were two truly super cars (Ferrari 458 and Lambo LP 560-4 Spyder) two high end cars (Maserati GranCabrio and Mercedes SL-63 AMG) and two cars that I would say many of the drivers on this tour could already own (Porsche 911 and the Maserati Ghibli). Don't get me wrong, the 911 and Ghibli are certainly nice cars but when you advertise Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren and Bentley it's a definite let down.

The Ghibli was a total joke as it wasn't even the AWD 400hp version. The way I look at it, I had two truly super cars and 4 high performance cars. Is that worth $1k for 90 minutes of driving? Not to me, especially when you consider I could have test driven the Mercedes, the two Maserati and the Porsche for FREE. My recommendation to management would be to either drop the prices or include SIX truly super cars on this tour.

I believe the experience they offer is a really good value. On Saturday I got to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo for three laps on a little auto-cross course and, with the group-on, it only cost $125. I am a sports car enthusiast and I have owned many throughout my life. It was definitely worth it to have the experience of driving this car. Quite frankly, while the Lamborghini does have a lot of power and looks beautiful, I was rather surprised at how poorly it handled.

I suppose that I am a bit spoiled, as I currently own an Acura NSX and a Porsche Boxster, both mid-engine cars which have impeccable handling. However, this is just not something I ever would have known had I not done this drive. The people who run the event are incredibly nice and friendly, and make the experience run smoothly. If you want a chance to drive an exotic sports car at this level and have no other way to do so, it is highly recommended. I have already purchased another Group-On to go back and drive the Ferrari 430 the next time they are in town.

This was an Event, That is what you make it! It was not really about the cars, I drove a turbo porsche to the event, and have a bentley gt at home, and an X5M winter car. I love cars! This was a fun event that let you beat on some beat on exotics for a few minutes. I took my employees to the event at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT, which made for a lot of fun after the event.

The cars are ok, but the fun part is the course, yes it is only 3 laps, and yes, the cars are not in the best condition, but when you have a group of guys trying to outdo each other it became a great time. The staff was young but attentive and fun (most of them), and had great attitudes. They wanted you to have fun and enjoy the day. Would i do it again? YES, for a couple hundred bucks (and I paid for all of my guys, plus a lunch at the casino) it was a great sunday afternoon.

Go with a group of friends and make the event the way you want it! TO THE PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW! Exotic cars have rigorous upkeep at super high costs ( 30K service around $30k ) Tires, plus brakes, and of course FUEL, plus staff and overhead. PLUS, its still a business and they are there TO MAKE MONEY$$$$$ So in reality spend the $1200 plus and rent the car for a day, or spend a hundo or two and drive for a few minutes! Dont expect to drive a $200K car all day for a few bucks, aint gonna happen! I would charge way more than that if you wanted to take my exotic.

My experience at the Gotham Dream Car Sprint was AMAZING! I knew it was going to be cool to drive an exotic sports car, but it turned out to be even better than I expected! Don't think my instructor told me his name but he was helpful and patient; I really liked him. I was kinda bummed that the Lamborghini was having issues and wasn't available to drive (that would have been my first pick) but the Ferrari worked out great. Kudos to whoever came up with your appointment/registration system because I loved the way we went through each step (sign-in, helmet, drive, photos) in an orderly and relaxed manner without having to stand in a line and with enough time in between to watch and anticipate but not too much time that we got bored. I'm sure some days are busier than others, but it seems like a well-designed system that would scale up or down depending on the size of the crowd. I'm going to do one thing differently next time.

My one disappointment was that I never looked down at the speedometer so I could know how fast I went. Next time, I'm going to either ask the instructor to make a mental note for me, or try to remember to look down at the speedometer on the straight-away.

So for whatever reason, Gotham asked for me to post my emailed review to them 4 months after I initially sent it. I don't think that they actually read it, but here is hoping that this review helps someone save their money: I thought the experience was "pretty good." I do have a couple complaints though that really would have made the experience better for me.

The website said it would be a 3-5 minute experience. My wife started filming as soon the car started moving, and the whole thing took 2:20, including my instructional lap. I think it would be a better experience if you just gave 5 minutes. "5 minutes, $99, Open autocross track in a Lamborghini" would have been perfect. I recently saw an ad for the Vegas track for $199.

It included 5 laps on the 1.2mi track in an Aventador. I think I would have to pick that experience if did something like this again. The tires got changed before I drove (I was the first drive in the lambo on sunday). The front and back rims were different colors (silver and black) and styles. I really think that made the car look terrible. For me half the experience is driving it, and half of it is the lambo/ferrari look.

I really think the two different wheels made the car look bad. It made it look like the 16 year old with the honda civic that can only afford two wheels. I felt like I needed to selectively share the pictures with people and explain the process, which is annoying and takes away from the good experience. It's a Lamborghini, and it should speak for itself.

Why did I have to wear a helmet but the instructor didn't? That was annoying to see in the pictures. I wish I would have been given the option to not wear it. Especially since the speed I got up to was standard highway speed. The closest I have seen you guys come to me is 45 minutes from my house. So, this was a fun experience that my wife bought me as a gift that we made a weekend out of, and that made it good. But if I had driven 45 minutes to drive for 2 minutes and 20 seconds in a Lambo with different colored wheels I definitely would have been disappointed.

I had so much fun during my Dream Car Sprint! Everyone was super friendly and helpful, making the experience fun and enjoyable. My expectations were definitely met, and exceeded with the fact that I was giving a CD of pictures from my experience, which I wasn't expecting. I had so much fun, and I keep telling everyone they need to go try it as well!

My parents had purchased the $99 Groupon for my birthday, so we did the experience at the Florida International Rally and Motorsport Park. We came early, about 10-20 minutes before my experience, but the team immediately got me signed in and I didn't even have to wait until my expected appointment time to drive. My instructor was Ryan, and he was very polite and patient. I definitely liked having him as my instructor.

First time i drove with Gotham Dream Cars was over two years ago when it first opened up to the sprint over at the arena in Sunrise, FL. I drove the F430 Ferrari with the upgraded suspension. WHAT A RUSH! I had an amazing time and the team members were great. This second time we took a friend for his birthday but it was at the Central Florida Racing Complex.

He has never been close to driving a car like this so i thought it would be nice, oh was i right. He was WOW'ed by the experience, and wants to do it again. He drove the Ferrari and had the time of his life. I myself could not hold back and purchased a run myself while i was there, but this time i decided to try the Gallardo, and wow did i enjoy the AWD and power on that car. Once again, thank you for such an experience and great time, in which we all enjoyed very much. Hope to see you all again very soon.

Grade A A-holes! Should've recognized the first red flag when we bought the groupon for the "sprint" and they informed us we had to book a date within 5 days or the groupon is no longer valid. We booked anyway. Some business came up out of town and I was going to be about 6 hours away at the time of sprint. So I emailed requesting to reschedule.

Not cancel, or asking for a refund, just reschedule. I was told that they cannot do that within 10 days of the event. I told them this was last minute business, and they refused. So instead, they took my $200 (purchased two sprints), and couldn't care less about me. Horrible customer service, arbitrary policies. Oh and after researching about it.

You literally drive around in a parking lot for a few minutes then it's over. Really sad and disappointing. I am going to contact Groupon and try to get a refund. DO NOT PURCHASE! AVOID THIS COMPANY!

THIS PLACE SUCKS. I waited for 45 minutes to get 2 1/2 minutes behind the wheel, and never got above 60 mph, and when I did go fast, it lasted ABOUT 2 seconds before you had to turn. What a f**king scam. They don't give a CRAP about your experience, I was expecting a real track, and at least 10 - 15 min in the car. I paid the $99 DISCOUNT, and that piece of shit experience was worth about $5.

I feel ripped off and EXTREMELY disappointed. Thank god I only drove 30 minutes to get there, I feel sorry for people who drove for 90 min or more there was a person there who came from a place 2 hours away. I'd be PISSED if I drove for 2 hours for that. I'm actually PISSED I drove 30 minutes for it. I REALLY hope people read these reviews before they go.
