Great ????......I have narrowed my list down even further...... Cars that make you "smile".....in more than one performance catagory.....does the whole performance package feel right....is one aspect overpowering (or underpowering) the others.....

1: 1st Gen GTI
2: Spec Miata (on track)
3: FR-S

I've driven full race cars with 700hp....sure they are fast...but they are "over the top" and the smile factor quickly becomes "pucker factor"....especially considering the $$$$ amount involved in these rides......

The FR-S is far from the fastest car I have owned, but damn it makes me smile when I drive it!!!

1) NA Miata - Stripped interior with fatty tires and race coilovers (Dad's old track toy)

2) 2005 Viper Convertible (Near death never seemed so accessible, lol)

3) 2012 Boss 302 (Way more planted than the Viper, and not quite as brutish)

4) My old t3/t4 turbo DSM (Such a rush at full tilt, but always something to fix!)

5) E46 M3 Coupe (My first time getting to experience the M badge...I was impressed)

***My good friend recently picked up a used Audi R8 V10 Spyder...He already told me that the next time we meet up I can hoon it...I just might have a new number one soon

94 Mazda Miata NA - I think the most fun (I haven't test driven the FRS / BRZ yet)
01 S2000
94 Integra GSR
xx Mr2 - the later model, non-turbo
08 Evo X
xx CRX - $200 piece of junk, but still fun...
