Good advice folks.. I'll be near Newport Beach and I thought as much, will not have any time for *driving*. Plus, I'm cheap and the idea of spending mucho $$$ on a rental is unappealing. Also, as I own a cayman and a 330 as it is, the mustang 'vert will be more interesting to me.

If you don't have any time for driving then renting a fun gofast car would be a waste. But if you can squeeze in a half day it might be worth renting one of the funner cars for a day. An over lap with your "normal" car renter, perhaps, but it could be fun and worth it if you can make it up to the canyon roads.
