What is your favorite car you have driven.

Whats your favorite car you'v driven. It can be anything from a lambo to a go-kart. Doesn't have to be something you'v owned personally.

personally for me it's really hard to pick.

My dad's z4 coupe is very fun and cool because you dont see the coupe very often.

I love taking the doors and roof off my jeep and going up into the hill's.

My old speed3 was fast and handled great.

But my all time favorite car iv ever driven, my friend told me her brother had a awesome 68 camaro that i would love so one day when he came to town to visit be brought it. full interior strip, caged, built 427 pushing 650 HP(not sure wy he dropped a ford engine into a chevy but its his car), giant tire's in the rear but im not sure what size cus at the time i was not very knowledgeable about tire spec's and so. i have never been so scare'd and respectful of the car im driving yet at the same time having the time of my life.

so for me its a built 68 camaro.

Easy.

1970 Fiat 124 Sport Spider.

Red.
Flat hood.
Chrome bumpers.
Transplanted 1800cc DOHC from a '74. IAP header and Ansa racing exhaust. IAP performance springs, sway bars and polyeurathane bushings. Koni shocks. Magnesium CD-3 wheels, freshly powdercoated with new Kumho KR-21's. New Radiator and hoses. New plugs and wires. New Optima sealed battery. New carpet, seat upholstery and dash panels. New top. The car had been resprayed in the original Ferrari red at some point, and was 99% restored at the last, apart from some blistering inside the engine bay around the strut tower area. (Fiat people will know what I mean)

Easily the greatest driver I've ever owned. On paper I think it might have had as much as 120hp, probably less, but the handling was the best part. You could hold a drift as long as you liked. As far as I could tell the car had no limit. I never once spun the car, despite driving it harder than I've ever driven anything else.

Sold it to get married. Had to prove that I could be an adult, however briefly. My wife bought me my FR-S for my 30th. :-)

This one. Even though the clutch was touchy and a pain in the ass (Sadly, not mine, but I did get to drive it fairly hard for the better part of an hour):
