What was the Funnest/Coolest/Best Cars You Have Driven?

Okay, I'm bored, and I was thinking about something that I don't think has been started on here. So...

What was, in your opinion, the best thing that you've ever driven? It doesn't matter whether you judge by fun factor, coolness, randomness, or anything else. And it could have been a one-time thing, a test drive, it doesn't matter

So, what was it?

Mine has to be an '04 Lexus SC 430 with the governor taken off That thing was pretty quick!

Oh -- And it doesn't have to be a car/truck/suv either.. It could've been a boat, car, plane, space shuttle, jet ski, hovercraft, or a fork lift.. I don't care! Haha... Let's see what you all got!

There was a Lotus Super7 that did auto-cross back home. That thing was a blast, you could do 20mph and have the time of your life. Sort of middle ground was a 1974 911, the harder you pushed that thing the harder it pushed back, fantastic road course car. There was also a Viper R/T that I got a chance to take around the same road course, that was a ton of fun for exactly the opposite reason. If you put your foot down, you better be ready to go!

All super fun for their own reasons.

My favorite was an 07 Z06 that we got in at our dealership. I didn't really get to push it since it wasn't my car. It was still the coolest thing I've ever driven.

The most fun vehicle that I have driven has gotta be my old Suzi Sidekick. Had upgraded the rims to 8 1/2 in wide, they stuck out from the fenders by about 2 inches, got the widest Goodyear STs that would fit and kept the same size sidewall. That thing could hook a corner like nothing else!! And then there was the Baja-ing that I had some much fun doing in Suzi! Almost threw out 2 passengers on the same bump!
The "sleeper" factor was there too......dual mikuni 44mm carbs, midrange cam, exhaust, all connected to a Center Force One racing clutch!

I would have to say my old 1977 Trans Am Smokey and the Bandit Special Edition. That car was crazy fast and handled like a dream. Got me in a bunch of trouble though
