Best cars you have driven

I have limited experience with fun cars. Never driven any exotic, barely drive other peoples cars as I just want to stick to my own cars.
And I rarely change cars.

Most fun is my 1998 Dodge Viper, but I'm confident there's hundreds other cars out there that are far superior.
Rode in my friend's 2017 Viper ACR-E and that thing is a blast! We'll see if I ever get to drive it, and then if I event want to... It's worth roughly the same as my house...

2012 Boss 302
my 2011 GT500
2014 IS-F

I'd like to have a '98 Viper. Vipers, any year, are fun and exciting cars.

Do you still have your T-Bird?

I've driven most of the American performance cars and really like my Boss 302 and regret selling my M6 Hellcat. I have no experience with exotics or European sports cars which I'm sure are fun. Outside of performance vehicles my favorite vehicle to drive and own was my 1970 Blazer. I liked everything about the truck and it's another one I should have never sold.

In terms of launch/feeling of acceleration:

Highly modified GTR.

Long range trip:

Raptor

Overall:

911 Turbo

Hands down fastest:
UGR TT Gallardo pushing right around 2000 to all wheels.....God. Damn.

Most thrilling/fun to drive:
Tie between 800 wheel lightened 03 Cobra and C6 ZR1

All around, daily driver three way tie:
E39 M5, W211 E55 AMG, 997 911 Turbo

My Evo XI in the snow was an absolute blast to drive

Too many to count.

Most notable were the McLaren P1, GT2RS, and a twin turbo Viper ACR-E.

If I won the lottery, I'd own one of each.

I've got limited seat time outside of Mustangs, but I'll chime in.

Most pure fun: Either an early 911 or a Miata. So enjoyable because you have to work for it and they're fun at non-illegal speeds, they're momentum cars.

Outright speed/power: Buddy's dad's ported/pullied 03 Cobra

Cruisers: Drove my buddy's step mom's '14 BMW 335 with the twin turbo 6 and holy shit that car blew me away. Plenty of power and comfortable as hell.

Daily driver has to be my '03 GMC 2500 HD. Nothing beats being up high and comfortable for the commute.

99 Viper GTS ACR just because of how raw it was.

Porsche 928 S4 with a manual transmission. It was the first big displacement DOHC V8 I had ever driven. A buddy had one in the late 90’s. E46 M3 comes to mind too.

My current C7 Grand Sport is a very well rounded car as well.

1) 427 Shelby Cobra Replica
2) Alpha GTR
3) 911 GTS
4) 04 Cobra modified
5) 11 GT500 modified

Best was probably my 2008 Vapor Silver GT500. Had it only about 8 months but it was such a wonderful cruiser. Not nearly as fast as my 04 but rode SO much better and nicer interior.

Which year ZR-1 as they started in 1971-73

I will go out on a limb and guess not a C3 since they only made like 50 of them

My top 3 in order are my friends GT-R, my 2013 GT500 and my old 2009 G8 GXP.

My current daily, the Focus ST is an absolute blast and while not the best car I've ever driven it is a great car imo.

I should have added my 2014 Mini Cooper S (tuned by Livernois). THAT was an absolute blast to drive on mountain, back country roads. My wife and I took it to Lake George in October, 2015 for a Mini Cooper New England get-together. A few of us got together and chased each other in the mountains. Man was it a blast. My Mini Cooper felt like it was on rails. It was so easy to drive hard in the twisties that my (usually nervous) wife was totally at ease and into it. I don't miss small cars, but I have to say that I enjoyed that car while I had it.

Most fun? My 2002 Viper. It has that old school rawness about it. And there's just something about driving a car that will kill you if you don't know how to drive it. lol.

Runner up? A Lambo Huracan. That thing was amazing to drive in a totally different way.

1966 Mercury Park Lane. Quiet, smooth and comfortable to drive. It was the "farm car", used for trips requiring a car or when taking my great-grandmother anywhere.

Ferrari 458
