No, just someone visiting the office from out of town. This is what they rented at the airport!

Looks like a GT Prem with Brembos (Ford Racing center caps on wheels), diff cat back exhaust (maybe GT500), GT500 spoiler & rear valence, Recaros, & Auto Trans (ugh). Has Penske/Hertz badging (faux gas cap and Penske emblem, not the 5.0, on the side). In addition to side stripe is has a single, offset over-the-top stripe with pin stripes. I didn't get a chance to look at rear diff to see if it had track package.

The fact they put a GT500 wing and the '13 mufflers and valance in there irritates me. Lol

So how do the rental companies protect themselves from someone ragging on it or destroying the tires? Do they disable the turn off traction control button or detune them a little?

I don't know, but I figure they limit their exposure by only having a small number of cars and charging a premium for renting them knowing the tires will get abused.

The one stripe is kinda throwing me off. It's like they started to stripe the car and didn't finish.

Hertz realized they were going to have to buy tires all the time and decided to save money on the stripes...

Oh, I figured since it was an auto they knew women would be driving it so they only wanted to replace one stripe after being wrecked..
