I usually go to the USA every couple of years for a road trip. Until now, the choice of car has always been easy. However, now I have the Mustang, I think it would be a bit silly to hire one stateside. So, what should I try the next time I'm out there? Is the Camaro worth a shot or something else?

GT350R... Who needs space, because Eff it, it's gorgeous.. or just you know the Shelby GTH, something we don't get over here....

How much baggage you taking?

Also a vette Z06/7 pack would be good, but baggage room is trash on them.



Or a big ass truck ;)!

I spent a few weeks last year seeing a young lady in LA.

I always found it galling that I had a Mustang sitting in the UK whilst I was using her VW CC in order to wander the freeways.

In 1992 I hired a '72 Mustang from a place called Rentareck in LA. Maybe try an older Mustang.

Just get a truck, as when it comes to muscle/sports cars the US car hire companies always give you the bottom of the model rung which are usually not munch faster than a Focus.

Exactly what I was thinking & plenty of room to store all the upgrades for the Stang you pick up along the way.

Dodge Challenger. I rented one and it was nearly as good as a mustang. Surprisingly good visibility for a yank car...

6th Gen Camaro SS would be my bet, but I'm odd like that. :p
