I have so many, mainly due to their engine sounds and chuckability:
Saleen S7
Spyker C8
VW New Beetle
Vauxhall Vectra (don't laugh)
Lancia Delta (both the S4 and Integrale)
Volvo S60 T5
Chevy Camaro Z28 RM - one of the most overused cars on GTP but a blast to drive around the 'ring.
Scion XA - surprisingly talented when stock too.
 
my favorite to drive is a close one... between my 1995 NSX and modified Veyron killer 850 horsepower Z06 (full everything.. no race package... bada#s car!).. that NSX is so chuckable its a blast..
 
I keep going back to the 458 Italia these days. That car, stock, is just so well balanced.
 
Ferrari 599
Peugeot 908
IS-F Racing Concept
Scuderia
Clio V6
Audi RS6 (Theres something fun about taking a 930hp estate out for a run)

All fully tuned. I know a lot of you don't like it, but i fully tune all my cars.

And my favorite tracks to take them onto are Monza, Nurburgring GP and Fuji.
 
I also love my RM'ed NSX, just the perfect balance. Love to kick the tail coming out of slow corners, and to throw it flat out around corners like Hatzenbach on the 'Ring.

Add to that the RM'ed Tuscan, it has a lot of understeer but accelerates out of corners like hell. Does the 'Ring in 6:25, love to see 550hp beating modded supercars with 700+hp
 
McLaren F1 stock except for racing tyres to dial out some understeer. No car gives that much enjoyment just driving.

pretty fast too :)
 
Either my M3s (E92 and E46), my M5, my Z4M, my Ford GT or my F430 Scuderia. I enjoy a ton of cars actually, but those are the ones I play with the most :)
 
Lotus Elise 111R
Lamborghini Murcielago (full throttle through a turn, WILL bring a smile to your face)
McLaren F1
Mazda Furai Concept (Grip, grip, and more grip)
 
My stock F40 on stock tires :D

Kicking the tail out a little and just maintaining it with just the right amount of throttle is fun.
 
go-kart and all the RM cars.

the lotus 111R RM on the racing tires is one of my favorites. handles great; brake oversteer predictably and mildly.
 
The Toyota Altezza Touring Car is the best handling car ever.

Thats funny cause im pretty sure that car is <$35,000 cr.
Along with engine reconstructions that cost as much as a 3 story house, and Ferrari F40s selling for 85,000 cr (It was named the 2nd most collectable car of the past 20 years by Forbes magazine) I can say this game has the wackiest economy i have ever seen
 
Stock NSX-R, stock Tommi Makkinen Evo VI and stock 2010 Impreza STI. The NSX-R never ceases to amaze me how fast you can hustle that thing...
 
My lightly tuned Alfa 8C is great fun.

My Focus RS is my nurburgring sleeper. I'll bring the Amuse S2000 if I really wanna go fast.
 
- Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trial Car
- TVR Cerbera Speed 12
- Caterham Seven Fireblade
- Fiat 500F :)
- Lamborghini NOMAD Diablo GT-1
- Mini Cooper 1.3i
- Alfa Romeo GIULIA TZ2 carrozzata da ZAGATO CN.AR750106
 
The Countach is a fun car, I got to know it well in the historic car cup :p
 
F10 and F2007. After driving these two I don't care much for anything else in the game that I've found.
 
I just tuned the Honda Z Act. In stock form it had 30HP which is not bad for 354cc and weighed in at 510 Kg. Gearing was such that it did 50 in 1st and 80 in 2nd with top gear (4th) good for 210 mph (not!!). This resulted in a 13 minutes Sunday Drive! Though a suitably geared Custom Trannie cut that by about 40 seconds.

I now have it fully upgraded with Racing Softs (80 HP and 469 Kg) and was throwing it around the 'Ring (well that was the appearance from the replay). I geared it for 130 mph I saw 120 mph at one point.

First attempt resulted in the car "falling over" at the corner before the second Karussel... joys of going up the kerb just before the corner I suppose. Second try was a fraction under 9 minutes (so far). Must say I did enjoy driving it.
 
While not strictly 'driving', I have on occasions jumped in the 787B and gone to a practise track and then parked it (gear to N) to listen to the "brap brap brap" idle, and then interrupt it with some screaming revs, then back to that lovely rotary "brap brap brap".



Totally agree I have done this on numerous occasions. :)
