Didn't get a chance to drive the new E63 but it was on hand along with 6, SLR's. They had a great program including kart racing, advanced driving skills on a road track and a full throttle challange (drag racing) which included racing the SL65 & S65. We ran E55, CLS55 SL55 on the 2 mile Oval. We walked away with a video of a lap on the Oval in an E55 with stats! So now I have proof when I tell people I was doing 133mph on straight 100mph around the turns .77g's in 74 seconds! Which was my first time on the track. Here are a few pix :) Well worth the money!

Not the graduate program, however I am thinking about going to the graduate program in florida. I was told you get more track time and faster speeds.

Sounds like fun! I did the Challenge last year at Homestead (not graduate program) and had a blast! :)
