Bah, Hertz, your loss
I almost did something very stupid. I had in fact decided that it would be worth dropping $430 (man, since when have there been all these additional fees?) for a 3 day rental of a Shelby GT-H when I'm in Palm Beach next month. And then they told me that at 22, no dice, I can't even pay a young driver surcharge. I guess instead I'll drop $163 on a V-6 Mustang (I know, V-6 Mustang ain't exactly muscle car, but the suggestive discounting of the NRA discounts make it only ~$4 more - over the total rental period, not per day - than a mid-size ).
Out of curiosity, has anybody ever rented a GT-H? How much am I missing out on? I mean, it's traction control always on and auto tranny, so how fun can it be (I'll never understand rental companies' obsession with auto transmissions - even in Germany, the "nice" cars have them; PORSCHE'S ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, I DON'T CARE WHAT THE RUSSIAN MOB GOONS WHO RENT THESE SAY!!!)
