Whats the Funnest and/or Fastest car(s) you have ever driven? (Page 4/14)

Funnest = Fiero
Fastest = my 3.4 Formula

Honorable mention: 300ZX. It wasn't turbo, but it was still fast, comfortable, good looking and Fiero-like (GT).

Those are so cool looking... how much power does one of them put out?

I sat in a car that resembled a Lotus (Super?) 7... I think it was for a racing school... that had to be the lowest thing I've ever sat in.

WOW! BMW M5! Those are my favorite sedans. I plan on buying one as my family car when I have kids.

And I know whats his name came close driving a Mclaren. But who hear has actually driven and/or even seen one of those. Those have gotta be my all time favorite cars, next to the Viper and Cobra.

Fastest I've ever driven: my '72 Trans Am.
(yup, even faster than my 87 Grand National).

Most fun? Hard to say. Either the T/A or my Fiero. I loved racing people in the T/A, because most people just thought is was "some old white trash TA" and didn't realize it had a 455HO under the hood. Even though it said so on the shaker. One of the most fun races was when a friend of mine tried to race my TA in his 83 Monte Carlo SS. He's modded it some, but it didn't matter. I stayed with him till about 35 mph under about 1/3 throttle, then I downshifted into 1st and layed rubber away from him. Left him like the Millenniuum Falcon going into Hyperspace! THAT was fun. But the Fiero is just a blast to drive - regardless of who's around. I'd have to make that a tie between those two.

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.



hahhaahhahahahahaahah
Tuner!!! Rice a roni wings and photoshop doesn't make you a tuner. Names like Mallet , Lingenfelter , Callaway , Hennesey , roush, saleen, yenko, Berger chev , Baldwin Motion, These are tuners.

hahahhahahahaha
Broker!

Do you have a complimentary service where you take the persons car up to the top of 3rd gear to see how fast it goes?

Ohh man your a riot! Where's your store front? where's your business? your computer? You have a brokers license? cert by NADA? Selling your uncle larry's chevette does not make you a broker!

this was the best thing I have heard all day!

Methinks I smell a sickening stench...

The stench of TROLL!

I think the fastest i've ever driven was my dad's '56 chevy 210 wagon with a 350 pushing well over 400hp. The thing handled like crap but had balls the size of watermelons!!! best handling car i've driven is my stock '86 Fiero GT. Funnest car i've ever driven is still my bright yellow '66 Nova with a 250 L6 and 3-speed. It's got split headers and dual turbo mufflers, custom interior, but not the fastest thing (although I've blown by plenty of hondas in my day), but the looks i get from other people on the road is more on the side of "OH MY GOD THAT CAR IS BLINDING ME!!!"
