Most fun car you've driven?

[Apex]

OK folks, what's the most fun car you've ever driven?

I'll start. This was easily the most enjoyable vehicle I've ever driven:

http://www.gotapex.com/images/leon/skyline_night.jpg

A 380hp RX7 is probably the second most fun. 360hp twin turbo Supra probably 3rd.

[Wizard]

How'd you get a picture of my car... Ok yeah that's way over done.

Most fun car driven = Dodge Viper 400+ Hp

[TommyBoomfiger]

Ruf 993 CTR 2. 4 wheel drive. this bad boy sticks to the road like glue and is almost as fast as a ferrari. i had my doubts when i first stepped in, but after one min on the track, i was blown away. i cant even imagine how fast it would be if i knew how to shift more accurately.

Second would be a RennTech EV12, a maxed out Mercedes E-Class with a 7.0 liter v12. lots of reliability issues though.

third would be a 2001 BMW M5. dont know what was in it but it was fast.

[styleee]

the most fun car i've ever driven was prolly my friends 1980 vw rabbit. that car was so funny. when you gave it gas in 1st gear, it didn't really go, and then it would JERK forward. it was really a blast. like driving a go cart or something, but on the highway. it really was fun :)

but the fastest car i've ever driven is my brother's 3rd gen RX7, which is just so fast its sick.

[spigidygak]

Jeep Grand Cherokee in the mud, oh baby that was just too much fun compared to anything on the road, hehe.

[Jihforce]

Hey Apex,
Now what exactly is that red car you posted? I can't make out what it is. My guess its a Nissan 240sx.

I would have to say that my funnest car is my 325i right now. I haven't driven many different cars so I kinda feel deprived.

The worst for me would be:
-'80 Toyota Cressida (My first car, had messed up alignment and very loose stearing wheel, weak brakes, etc...)
-'93 Mazda MX6. (No 'Zoom Zoom' there)
-'00 Infiniti I30. (loner car, lots of power, poor handling, cheap interior, etc...).

[aglio412]

i once drove a huge uhaul on the capital beltway in DC...had to cross lanes for a left exit too...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[pennypinch]

I think that RUF might have been a might quicker than a piddly Ferrari. :)

I've driven some nice cars, but bar none, the most fun car I ever drove was this POS VW Rabbit convertible I had between my freshman year and sophmore in college. It had MAYBE 60 hp, but you put the top down, throw three chicks in the car...man, you could floor it and it felt like you were just flying, but you'd never crack the speed limit...ah, good times, good times. Plus, it had the worst defroster of all time, making morning drives even more fun (look ma, I'm not even looking!). I think I had a rock go through the muffler at one point. That made it sound super racy.

Plus, you could park that thing in any space. I mean anything. I've always driven SUV's before and since...and I kind of miss that piece of crap.

That car is a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec.

Apex,

Did you drive the Skyline in the states? If so, was it imported by Motorex? I saw at least three of them when I was last in Hong Kong. Your picture doesn't do it justice, those are just beautiful and mean machines.

Yeah, I drove it in the states. It wasn't imported by Motorex, actually. Unfortunately, that pict was taken by a Kodak DC240 camera in near darkness. It's a sweet car. It's a bit large for my tastes (About the size of a mercedes CLK), but still absolutely incredible to drive.

[boba world]

If you want to see a real skyline, just hang out in Monterey Park, CA for about 5 minutes and you should see one. The first time i saw a 98 GTR was a couple of years back- followed it around and even talked to the owners! INSANE!! Otherwise, seen them at UCI, UCB, UCLA, etc etc.

The cars you guys drove are pretty wild! Most "fun" for me was actually the Honda S2K, stock. It was a blast, with the top down -through the twisties.

[joe52985]

sad, 94 cavaleir, nice small car, very fun to drive

[OC]

1972 Ferrari Daytona.

[DoPeY5007]

I am so hating this as I type it :banghead: But the funnist car I have driven was a 95' (and just kill me now :bawl: ) mustang gt I don't get to drive fun cars yet

[irwin]

I've driven my mom's 89' accord (inline 4), my dads 92' grand voyager, and my friend's '00 s70 sedan. OOOOO IM TOOOOO COOL!

[Socalgal]

The most fun car I've ever driven was a Lotus (don't remember what year - the car OR the year I drove it, 'twas a long time ago) at a So Cal raceway with an out-of-town friend..

The second most fun car was my old '72 Porsche Targa. I loved that car and miss her...

My most fun ride now is my '96 MX-5 (http://socalgal.digitalmntsnow.com/stuff_other/mx5.gif) (Miata) M-Edition. She rocks :)


But somehow, I think THIS (http://www.mill.net/dragon/Lambo.wmv ) would be the Ultimate Fun Ride :D (<< video)

Oh.. nice ride, Apex :)

:drool:



oh I so wanna ride with him driving, I know I can't drive that well... that was one hell of a ride :drool:

[Full Monty]

Most fun car for me is a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Spyder. Not much compared to some of yours, but is quite quick when the turbo kicks in and handles pretty well too. It's nice too when you can cruise around with the top down during the summer.

[jkusar]

Best car I've every driven was a 427HP Dodge Viper. Took it out in the deserts around Las Vegas. WOOOHOOO! You can see down the road for miles...;) Unfortunately, the roll of pictures that we took got double exposed, so nothing came out. Boy did that make me mad. Oh well, guess I'll just have to do it again. :D

But I also have a lot of fun driving my own Jeep Wrangler off road. Can get a little harry at times. Like when I slid sideways into a ditch and was basically looking down at my friend in the passenger seat. But thankfully it didn't go all the way over. Took about an hour to get out though.

Aww man...can't get this grinn off of my face :D

My most fun car....geez....none of my friends had expensive cars :(.

how about my current one??? it's pretty fun :)
it's an oldsmobile Alero :D

(so deprived...)

[BrewMaster]

Best I've driven is my dad's CLK. And a Ford F-150. I know the F-150 is run-of-the-mill, but I love trucks.

i dont know if this is what Nija is talking about, but an 82 AM General would be a HMMWV, also known as a HUMVEE. but an 82 would have had to have been a prototype, since the first production HUMVEE was released in 85

[helius]

"Best" car ever driven: CLK 430.

Besides the straight line acceleration, it didn't really feel all that special. Am I missing something here? :confused:

nope, the clk 430 is a "normal" benz. not really known for their sportiness, but more for solid, controlled and almost plush ride. if you want to feel something special, i suggest you take a ride in a bmw, preferably 5 series or smaller sedan, or any roadster.

haaha peep the sticker on this one!

That was awesome. That's just how they drive in Italy. They are INSANE!

[kimchicowboy]

hey apex, so do you actually OWN an R34 gt-r? and if it wasn't imported by motorex, how'd you get that badboy? i've been wanting to take a trip down to gardena just to check 'em out.

as for myself, most fun car i've driven is my parents old 1990 ford aerostar, especially when it was packed with friends going up steep grades with the wheels peeling out. haha. it was a winner. but i'll have to admit that being in a mercedez S55 with the driver tearing up the tires was awesome. we were just making sure the ESP was working. :D

I only wish. That one was borrowed. :)

[TheCorp]

Ok the coolest car I personally have driven is my friends tricked out 318ti. Now seeing as I have lots of filthy rich friends (damn them all ;-) I have driven in my share of PHAT cars. Lets see, BMW 7 series 2001, a pimped out chipped A4 (280 hp), an AMG (SLK euro import), and my personal favorite, a Lambroghini Diablo in Vegas =)

I must say, sitting in a car with 500+ hp is amazing, you feel the thing just eat up the road. We hit a turn at oh Id say 80mph and I could have sworn we were going to roll and flip and die a horrible horrible death, but he just floored it and the wheels caught in a second and we bust out at like 150 coming out of the turn. SO COOL. Then I wet my pants. =)

Haha, oh well, one day ill learn to drive stick well and actually enjoy some of the nice cars I get to see/drive in.

[Wizard]

Hahahahaha TheCorp can't drive stick, now damn that's funny.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[StonedWheat]

The funnest car I ever drove was a 1999(i think) Chevy Corsica. It was a rental car, which is why it was so fun. That extra 12 bucks a day was really worth it :) Speed bumps HA!

[shoeish]

Tiff Needle is a far better driver than the Lambo guy, from the same show. movies.taner.net go to "top gear videos". Get the BMW M3 one to show his stuff.

Out of:

-Many Ford/Chevy/Dodge full size trucks
-Yamaha R1 (1000cc insane sport bike)
-1996 Mustang SVO w/ 28lbs boost
-2000 Ford SVT Contour
-Lincoln LS8
-1999 Caddy Seville
-2000 VW Passat
-1996 Acura CL 2.2
-My 1998 Yamaha YZF-600R
-My 1995 Contour SE V6 (for sale, very nice, [email protected])
-My 1994 Heavy modded/refined Mustang Cobra (www.geocities.com/shoeish)

I would have to say the most fun I had in something not mine was the Contour SVT. Very sporty, amazing engine note, pretty damn fast. Very fun, 200hp, and its a FOUR DOOR, all for under $16k used. My grandma's Lincoln LS8 with the five speed close ratio automatic was also a blast, being the motor would only drop about 2000rpm during full throttle gear changes sounding like a race car and the perfect weight balance made it feel so nimble and race car like. Yes, my grandma was along for the ride. :D My friends R1 (which he has since high-sided) was also INSANE. Didn't get to test the handling, but the straight line acceleration is insane. Going about 20 in 1st gear, I leaned forward and stuck it to it... The motor revved so fast I thought it broke the rear tire loose. When I let off, the revs hung at 9.5k where I left them, and I was going 60mph. I did what anyone else would do, shift to second, third, and fourth @ wide open throttle. I was going 130mph before I knew what was going on. Unlike my YZF-600 which actually takes *time* to get to 100mph, the R1 damn near made me wet myself.

My absolute favorite, however, has to be my recent purchase: a 550hp @ the crank Mustang Cobra. Amazing handling, and with no better word to describe it, THRUST. 100mph is just another mark on the speedo. At 100mph, shift to 4th, reapply throttle and STILL get sucked back in your seat. Same with 5th gear @ 130mph. I can't wait to autocross with it. www.geocities.com/shoeish for pics.

I wish I had the chance to drive more European cars, like Audi, BMW and Porsche. I want to drive an S2000 and a Miata sometime, also. Enough blabbering, cya.

[natem02]

One of my buddies used to have a 355 powerd S-10. That 355 put out close to 400 horsepower and an ungodly ammount of torque on the lowend. If you were good enough to get the beast to hook up, you would embarass the **** out of some expensive imports and a few 'Stangs and Camaros.

[TommyBoomfiger]

this is one cool looking ride

[adowding]

Genuine 1977 ford pinto with 212,000 miles and no recall perfomed on the bumper. Car was Sweet. Could move the steering wheel a good 5 inches either way before the wheels would start turning.
