What's The Best Car You've Ever Driven?

[N1GTR]

More pics of R34 please

I cant really decide whats "the best" as every car is good in its designed environment, so here's my top 5;

Number one, all time fav; 997 GT3; Quick all the time, perfect throttle response, awesome suspension, so settled regardless of speed. I adore this car and am honestly a little bit sad every time i get out of it. The sound of it on cold start really says "yeah im a porka, but im not here to fu(k around" with nice lumpy cams that resemble a worked GTR rather than a refined german supercar

Number two, Lambo Gallardo spyder; It doesnt feel as fast as you'd think after owning a GTR, but its loud, quirky and the top down makes it a pleasure to drive even with the cumbersome gear shift surround

Number three, Mercedes Benz CLKAMG Black Edition; The factory issue buyers with a letter saying its a handful and to be careful so you know its good, great gearing, awesome seats, the noise is to die for, not for the feint hearted. This was more of a thrill than a pleasure. Its true, you need to be super careful of the loud pedal

Number four, Masarati GranTurismo; A real GT car thats a 2+2 seater, you could sit in this for 1000k's and get out feeling as fresh as when you got in. Nice subtle exhaust note, doesnt stand out like a Ferrari but just as nice on the inside. If you're a millionaire and need a daily, this is it.

Number five, Lotus Exige S (supercharged); A mission to get in and out but the pain (literally, your sides hurt) is so worth it. Very responsive, awesome noise, very trackday spec inside yet still has aircon and power windows. If you're looking for corner speed, you found it

Other notables include the new R35 GTR, Rolls Royce Phantom etc but as biased as this would sound, nothing has felt as fast/scary/fun as my own R32 even though its a beyotch in traffic with the clutch, very noisy all the time, rock hard suspension, no aircon etc Id love to have a go of a late model GT2 on slicks one day, that would probably be the ultimate/best thing as far as niceness on the inside but with insane corner exit speeds and overall respect for the throttle

My rebuilt porsche 911 c2, its a totally different car to drive compared to anything else on the road , heres a pic , also been lucky enough to drive a R35

Wow thats nice, anymore pics?

Got to love a nice air cooled porka with those wide rears!

[N1GTR]

...and the PowerFC

and the nismo rad

and the nismo thermostat

and the air intake

great thing about a nur is that you don't need many mods to make 300awkw's

That goes not only for NUR's but all GTR's;

turbos, ecu, injectors, front pipes, cat, catback then roll on 300awkw

Remember mass-iv? He said it the best "I wish I sold my gtst earlier" is what he said once he got his r34 gtr

Nice write-up Steveo. You've had some pretty enviable experiences by the looks of it. For some reason a GT3 is one of the only Porsches I'd be truly excited about driving, from an outsider's POV. Who let you drive their RR Phantom?!

Yeah its definatly an exciting drive, doesn't have the most power out there, or awd like the Turbo/4s, but just goes like a rocket

RR's a mates dads

With the NUR SteveO, literally ALL you have to do is wind the boost up. Everything else can handle it. Dumps would probably help, and injectors will be at their limit, but other then that, it's all pretty easy

Nice list of cars too! I knew you would have some great input

Just curious to know, do all the guys driving these exotics actually know people that own them?

Because That's absolutely mental... My car experience has to be the most boring out there.

I've only every driven a stock EVO8 MR, which was pretty fun as it was a good friends, and he let me boot it around corners.

My old R33 was ok, nothing like the EVO though, and I've only ever sat in 1 GTR in my life which was an R32 about 300ish awkw and I only passengered in that but was still worth it. Lol

Every person I sort of know that owns something exotic, is usually a friend of a friend, and they never even drive these things anyway because they're always working 6-7 days a week.

I.e R35 x 1, F430 x 1, SLK 55 AMG x 1

lol but why?

"I wish I sold my gtst earlier"

I can +1 this sentiment. I should have bought a GTR straight up rather than screwing around trying to make the GTST fast...I would be about 35k in fron at the moment. Oh well such is life.

And on topic, I have driven a GT3 RS in that awesome lime green colour lol. It was really good, everything was just right for going fast! Easily the best car i have driven, needed a few hundred more hp though!

[N1GTR]

lol but why?

Liz is trying to be funny.

Trying.

At a meet up ages ago both he and I were at a set of lights, he has done almost everything you could do to a gtst, made more power than me aswel. I was 4 or 5 car lengths infront by 3rd gear. I reckon that was when he made the choice

I'm jealous you've driven an RS. One of those in orange is the perfect porka IMO

[GoldZilla]

I drove this dark green Stagea today, and it rocked!!!

[BezerkR32]

there was about a quarter of a mil of merc running around wakefield last weekend, what was it steve? some amg coupe with a 6.3l blown v8. sounded good.

[N1GTR]

That's another CLKAMG Black Edition, same as the one in my post above

Sounds hot doesn't it!

They're NA, but don't drive like it

[soturi]

That porsche 911 c2 looks absolutely MINT.

I havent really been into euro cars too much tbh...love a porsche though

only hi-po factory car i have been in is the clk - amg black edition as above...(i thought it was black hawk but /shrug), was too good to be true.

Fast cars would have to be a 26/30 in a s13, completely stripped, 2 seats, no interior, i have no idea how it was even on the road....mate took me for a couple of runs around area, then stepped out at his place and said go for it....one of the most enjoyable rides.....450rwkw.....is just ridiculous, the guys on this forum that have cracked the 450 mark....you guys have big balls...

Good man having a 3L, but that must fry tires big time!!! What width wheels? Standard bodywork?

On slicks at a track it must be a real ball of laughs
