Whats the Funnest and/or Fastest car(s) you have ever driven? (Page 3/14)

Most fun? My little red car
Fastest? My brother's stripped down '79 Malibu with a 500+ HP 454, turbo 400, slicks and 4.10's. . . Around the block at my parents house. That thing was stupid fast.

The one that comes to mind is a friend's Porsche 928, several years ago. It didn't have blinding speed (although was pretty quick) and didn't exactly ride on rails, but the "fun factor" was there.

Although my dad used to have a '69 Z28 when
I was in high school with 327/350HP in it that had some pretty big balls (and yes I got to drive it).

i guess i'm kinda cheating cause this isn't a car. I'm in the canadian air force, and i've flown an f-18 and have gone mach 1.5 that's about 1,000 +/- mp/h. Sorry, just had to mention it. Can't compete with all your hot rod cars.

Hmm where do I start. I used to work with sports and race cars.
Lamborghini Countach - By far the fastest and best handling
Lotus Europa
Lotus Elan
Porsche 911
Lamborghini Urracco
Ferrari 328
Ferrari 308
Ferrari Dino
Various other high performance road cars and lots of really high performance circuit racing cars.
Most of these was "test drives" when cars were in for repairs

if this is getting a little hard for a few of you. Then lets change it a little bit.

"Whats the nicest, fastest car you have ever gotten a ride in?"

Or if thats still too hard. Then "Whats the nicest, fastest car you have ever sat in?"

Or even less hard "Whats the nicest, fastest car you have ever SEEN?"

HAHAHA, now Im sure everyone can post on this.

The thing with flying in a jet like that is, you can only go supersonic at like 30,--- ft. And at that altitude you don't really have anything as a visual reference. So all you have is this small indicator that points to mach 1.5.

Interesting. You're from Britain, and only have 2 posts, but you know I'm a tuner? Sure... Sounds like another yo_sweet deal to me.

Anyway, to answer your question...none of them. The modified compacts I've driven I generally test to well over 100mph. When we do Civic engine swaps, I have an area I can safely test to about 140 mph in, and so we do. This is the final test I do before delivering a hybrid, usually to ensure stability and cooling system operation.

As for the other...

NSXs, Vettes, Lotus (Loti?)(Esprit S2, Esprit Turbo, Esprit V8, Elises, a 340R), Prosche 911, 928GTS, 944T, 914-6, Panteras, several older Ferraris (308, 328, 348, 512 TR), a few Lamborghinis (Islero, Countach, Jalpa), S2000, WRX, Viper, several "kits" including Cobras and GT40s, Lightning, Cobra-R, a couple Maseratis, Jaguars, 300ZXTT, Stealth R/T, Supras, and almost got to drive a McLaren F1 GTR!

In addition to "tuning", TRiAD also brokers exotic cars, and I often drive cars for clients either wanting to buy or to sell. Occasionally I just get to drive one in the middle of the deal, which is what nearly happened with the McLaren.

In August 2003 (if not before), I will likely get to drive a Vector W8TT. They're having a reunion at the Concourse Italiano, and I plan to be there.

i cant remember the exact year but the fastest car (or truck?) i have ever driven was a 70 or 71 ford ranchero with the 429 cobra jet. it belonged (still does) to the dealership i do some work for and the owner wanted it put into storage before winter comes, he let me take it down there. it needs some carb work so it doesnt run right. i was driving it down to the storage area going right twords a red light, i slowed down and when i was at about 20 mph the light turned green, i tried to accelerate but it tried to die. so i gave it more gas,then she picked up and broke the rear tires loose. the only thing i didnt like was there was a cop at the stop light on the right, he followed me for a few blocks but didnt pull me over, probably saw the dealer plate and figured it had problems. after i got to the storage place i made sure nobody was around then punched it from a dead stop, both rear tires started smoking, i let off when the back end tried to slide.

i never used to like fords but i now have respect for the old big blocks
