Pure bliss...
Which car, among all you've driven gave you the ultimate feel of what a driving experience is meant to be? I mean everything that encompasses an "experience" behind the wheel, not merely straightline thrust.I'll start: THE most complete car, the one that fulfilled every one of my automotive receptory responses was the Porsche GT3. Only 380hp but man alive...the bliss...I longed for brakes like that the moment I exited the cockpit.

One of my good friends that i go to church with has a boss 302 and wow. its not refined at all, and i like it. i dont know how people say those tihngs are slow, it would wipe the floor with my car lol it was so loud and fast and raw...it was deffinatly a car you gotta ride in before you die..or atleast one from that era
I actually got to test drive a termie vert a couple months ago. I thought it would be the pennicle (?) of dreams coming true. Boy was I disappointed. First, both driverside windows wouldnt go down, riding with the top down windows up is so............ghey. Then, the car ran like pure shiit. Felt like it was cutting fuel at about 4800rpm. To top it off, I left TC on, so I wouldnt have gotten the full effect anyways.
As far as riding, so far the fastest car Ive been in would have to be my ol mans termie. Not the quickest car (470whp), but boy was it a rush with the top down, the eaton screaming as we went through the underpasses. Good stuff

Let me say this about the GT3. It was like the gearbox and motor ( I know down on power in these forums @ 380hp) were one perfectly complete unit. Exiting a corner at full blast was like 380 ft kicking you in the *** but never losing control. The motor became angrier as the tach got hot but then came the brakes, those magnificent brakes. The car seemed to never lose it's growl if you were pounding on it and the gear ratios were perfect to keep it right where you needed it. The cockpit was sparse and modern Porsche, the seats amazing. After two hours with that car I fully understood what all the sh$t was about, it wasn't about money or how money makes a car but more how it makes the driver feel. I exited that car after two weeks with about as much satisfaction as one can have behind the wheel and at the same time felt distain for other cars all at the same time. Although it had white wheels, and after all the cars I've had the pleasure to abuse, the GT3 is hands down my favorite...

+1 on the GT3 I got to ride in one around the Nurburgring... was amazing. The best one I have ever driven would be a New Mercedes CLK from Germany to Paris. I know probably not the best but I havent driven many crazy cars....
what a coincidence this is what a drove about 10 days ago, my cousin purchased this car with a blown engine, since it has been fixed and he called me to take it for a drive. its a twin turbo 911 making close to 850 rwhp, they come awd but it was converted to rwd only. man this car pulls like a freaking angry bull, enjoy.



The SRT-4 is the closest think I've ever been in that offer super car like numbers and it's a noisy, ruff riding, uncomfortable piece of S
