The McLaren F1 is definitely the coolest car I've ever seen in person. They had one at a race I went to in Limerock, MA and they were letting people get in and everything. (No I didn't get in it. It was really small, I'm a big guy and I didn't want to ruin my dreams. hehe)

If you wander into the pits at Sebring, Road Atlanta or Daytona, it really makes you forget all the awesome street rides that are tooling around the infield.

My favorite car memories are at the race track; watching and listening to a Ferrari 333SP scream through the gears while climbing onto the super speedway at Daytona, heading down to NASCAR one.

Feeling the rumble of an ORECA GT2 Viper in the pit of my stomach as it flies down sunset straight at Sebring.

Watch the brake discs glow red in the night on an Audi R8 coming down the esses at RA.

My jaw dropping the first time I see and hear J.J. Lehto fire up a BMW V12 LMR in the pits, then doing a 6 grand clutch drop to get some heat into the rear tires before heading down pit row. Absolutely nothing in the street car realm can match a large displacement NA racing engine when it goes from idle to 6-7 grand in no time flat.

Now those are the best cars I've ever seen.

yeah. very nicely written M-Spec :)

not sure what the best car i've seen is. but a friend has a '01 gunmetal M3, very jealous. seen countless Vipers, Diablos, Porsches, etc etc. also saw a R32 and S15 on the road once. and some guy in my area owns a silver R33, see it once in a while.

BTW, 2ez2KiLL. the cars in 2f2f are slow. the Supra runs mid 14's 400m methinks, wtf is up with that?

here, Sport Compact Car did a test on all the cars in 2F2F:http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/features/0307scc_2f2fintro/
 
I sometimes see a Yellow Dodge Viper with black stripes. If im right, It belongs to some 75 year old real estate broker. I might see a 360 spider goring around the the "big city." but thats it.
 
the other day, at my parents' restaurant, wich is in a straight, looong quick road, I start hearing something really loud and sharp. "a motorcycle" I say, and turn to look. a 1970s Porsche Carrera RS, white with dark blue "carrera" lettering, modded for racing, complete with rollcage and BRUMOS front fascia, with a cool hole in the rear bumper to let the exhaust exit and that let the rear suspension and tranny exposed, BLOWS by. Im like O_O and go to see it. its faaar far away. I keep looking. it turns and it's gonna pass exactly in front of me. I run inside, for my digicam. I get out and see it, its at a speed bump about... 250 meters from where Im standing. 100 meters ahead of it, a cargo truck is chuggling. Im like "cool, the cars gonna be completely clean in front of me. pic!!!
heh. wrong. the Porsche passes the speed bump, than ACCELERATES. at a stupid, STUPID, REALLY STUPID rate. I havent seen anything like that. so quick, so blisteringly fast that when the car passes in front of me it is in the other lane, passing the truck. all I get to see is its tail before/after it passes the truck. all along the way, the truck is a complete obstacle. no pic. just the awesome sound. ****.
that was IMPRESSIVE.. what a demonstration of complete, raw, loud power. you could still hear the car, even tough it was 400 meters away.
it lives around there, because I have seen it two or three times after that one. one day im gonna get it.

Ive sat inside of a Bentely Continental 3 Times! All people that roll into my uncle's restaurant downtown. As for gettng a ride, most i ever rode in was a 911 gt2.
 
Lets see here....Many Lotus Esprits, Aston Martin DB7s (GTs, Vantages, Volantes, Vantage Volantes..), Aston Martin Vanquish (actually got to drive it, now that was a blast), SL55s, E55s, SL600s...oh the joy of getting to work at a mercedes/volvo/aston martin/lotus dealership.
 
Lotus esprits, mmmmmm..........

Sorry i didnt mean to come across as an asshole before, Its just that this thread is about the best cars you have ever seen and no matter how done up a commodore is itwas still built for towing caravans and boats whilst transporting a family of 5.

If he had said the monaro/pontiac GTO yeah fine, thats a sports car and quite a cool ride but a commondore wagon is a family hac and only good for just that.

Dude what is driving the vanquish like?? also the SL55s????? ever got to have a go at any of the brabus editions??
 
well the coolest car(truck) ive seen is my friends dads truck that he custom built the engine for. it runs 9.8 in the 1/4

As for the Ferrari's, sweet. I got a chance to ride in an Enzo. Some rich dude that lives near me, I am pretty good friends with. He bought one and we went for a spin on the highway at 160, it kiked arse.

Yeah, me too.
 
Driving the vanquish was SCARY. A doctor from The Woodlands (nice area of houston) had returned it because it scared him to drive it, and I can understand why. I didnt really get to fully drive the SL55, I just backed it out from its parking spot inside the warehouse and drove it a few hundred feet to be washed. And I caught a fleeting glimpse of a brabus E class. I was going the other direction on my way to lunch...but there was no mistaking that B.
 
well obviously the Dodge Viper but other than that probably either versions of the Bentley's Speed 8.

I've always thought the audi A8 was designed very smoothly. Im not an Audi fan but this car had no extreme exterior features and they kept it nice. Two thumbs up.
 
It depends on wether you count cars at the track and at shows.

On the road:
I live in LA, os Lambos, Porsches, Ferrarris, etc, are no big deal. However, there are a couple standout cars:

-Brand new Maybach, about a week ago
-R33 GTR, silver (same car mentioned previously, possibly?)

Auto show:
-WRC WRX
-WRC Evo
-Enzo
-Maybach
-An F1 car or two

At the track:
-R32 GTR, insane horsepower
-Katsuhiro Ueo's AE86

yeah, that's why i didn't include cars i've seen at shows. it would be pointless to list them all...
 
Seeing as how my list sucks so much (compared to all you guys) i will just list all of the awesome cars ive seen-

Road:
Ferrari 360
Ford Thunderbird (all original condition, spotless!)

Show-
Lambo Diablo
Toyota MR2 "Street Affair" concept
Subaru Imprezza WRC concept

yeah, it all sucks!
 
I've seen most of the modern super-cars in person but none of them really excited me. I will never get tired of seeing 993 Porsche turbo's, Ferrari 360's, the new SRT10 Viper, or FD RX7's.
