I love lincolns so much I got it tatooed on me! :crazy:

[xman23]

haha nice, I just bought a licoln towncar 3 years ago before i bought my truck, I kinda wish I would have bought it

[Tri-Z 250]

1962 Corvette 327ci.....It always bings a smile ear to ear when I drive it...plus I get alot of looks out of it too. I often wonder how they sold a car pushing over 300hp under 2500lbs with DRUM brakes all the way around. Lets just say after 80mph the idea of stopping on a dime is out of the question. I can however snap the neck of a hot blonde golddigger from 30feet at cruz speed.

[BigReds Forever]

Probably my pops 75 corvette. mild 350, 4 speed. I love the gear ratios in that car, hard to cruse under 70mph. If its not that. then my 69 chevy pickup. she aint pretty but shes loud and fast!!!

[oldsking86]

Mine would be a 2003 Porshe GT3 and an 04 GT2... Yep these little suckers freaking rip!

[ATC-Eric]

Best or fastest?

My dads M35 is pretty bling. Fastest would have to be the 2003 modded Mustang Cobra.

Had the boost turned up, intake, exhaust, and a computer tune. Thing was pushing just over 500 whp. I got the tires to spin at 65 mph! Ive never really been a mustang fan. This is one ford I have respect for!

[84honda200s]

a 1996 dodge stealth RT when i was 15. even then i only drove it 4 or 5 miles.

[oldsking86]

My dad's street car has to be my fastest I've driven. Over 700hp on the motor, didn't touch the nitrous button thouh for the added power though lol

[theonlyjosh]

[scooterroo]

88 mitsubishi starion or the L82 vette.

lol, I dont have any way to make a digital video of my old vhs tapes of me hopping and riding!! that would ne sick, hell I dont even have a vhs player any more! since I built my freinds car almost the same way except not as powerfull I will see if I can make a video this weekend of me driving it putting it through its paces for ya!:naughty:

:w00t:

[J.D.]

To the original guy, I've driven a regular SL55 and am highly unimpressed, they're not slow, but certainly no speed demon, and the handling is just terrible.....especially for a 100,000 dollar car. Maybe the AMG helps it out alot though? For me, personally the best car I've ever driven was a 2006 Corvette, just base model, and an automatic at that. But that thing handled so good, and I can personally testify they will go 175 MPH, pulling good all the way. Ran out of room though so that was as far as I could push it. C6 Vette's are hard to beat for the money!

I havent drive the "regular SL55 (SL550?)", but im totally impressed with the AMG. I cant believe the power it has, the acceleration is awesome, the handling is great with the ESP on, the equipment is excellent.... The roof system is very cool two.

The 2007 SL550 has 382HP vs 510HP on the 2007 AMG, thats a difference, i dont know the difference in 2003 models.
The Z06 is also a great car, but face to face, MB AMG............

[vegas250rr]

88 LX mustang with a 347 on the bottle , and a Tremec 6spd. high 9 second car and a friggin blast in the pants

[longbedGTs]

Mine is an 88 Ford Ranger I put a v8 in. It wasnt terribly quick(14.8@93), but I had a smile everytime I drove it!

[seadoo650]

I've probably driven just about everything from a beat up old mid 80's chevette to a Ferrari 512TR Testarossa. Lamborghini's, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes. Heck I even drove the trolley once for the Columbus Zoo. Old muscle cars and very rare collector cars. I've driven them all.

My favorite was my own 72 Dodge Challenger. Next to my 1998 International Mac Truck of course. LOL

[Rm250RF900R]

This is a hard one. Its either our 1941 cckw353 military truck, 2001 cobra svt, or a 1956 chrysler imperial with a 354 hemi in it.

[edog]

Any G body.

This is my 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

[thefox]

A black 1915? Ford Model T.

[Bryan Raffa]

77 trans am built 6.6 543hp factory hurst 4 speed :naughty: trouble lots of trouble!:lol:

[DixiePlowboy]

It's between:

-My wifes current ride....2000 Lincoln LS(32V V-8)
-A '72 Mach 1 with a well built 351 C / 4-speed that I almost bought
-The last Mustang I owned('85 GT -built 331 w/210 horse Nitrous Works system)
-The '88 Conquest TSI I owned

If ALL vehicles were in play.......my hands down favorite would be the '75 IH Scout II (IH 304/ T-19 4 speed/ 4" RC lift with 33's) I drove daily for several years. That was one sweet piece of farm equipment!

[Yamahauler]

I would have to say a cop car :D Ive also been in the back of one :lol:

I drove a pretty sweet little BMW one time, cant rememeber what model

[johnny's X]

2006 zo6 vette for sure. My buddy runs the finance department at a chevy dealer and I got to joy ride for a couple hours. Wow that thing had some seriouse nuts. Besides that I would say my 1988 5.0 mustang, Not to much stock in that and it was a sleeper. LX model.

[Chevy200s]

Probably my pops 75 corvette. mild 350, 4 speed. I love the gear ratios in that car, hard to cruse under 70mph. If its not that. then my 69 chevy pickup. she aint pretty but shes loud and fast!!!

Dang man, that truck is clean. So far thats my favorite one posted here. We have a 72 C-30 (similar truck, but its got the egg crate grill). Dump bed on the back and get this, 27,000 original miles:drool: :D

edog nice car man, very clean

Simply gorgeous, what car could be better

[Vealmonkey]

Best car I have ever driven was a Lotus\Caterham Super 7. Only a 4 cylinder, but with the twin overhead cams and 2 dual webers, a real high revving rocket ship. And the thing handles like a slot car on the street. Also the added bonus of being an open car, no roof and bicycle front fenders. It has a long hood and your almost sitting over the rear end. You couldn't have a more basic and fun car. My Dad also had a sunbeam tiger with the 260 ford small block in it. It was fast, didn't handle very good and the brakes and gearbox were originally for the 4 cylinder sunbeam alpine engine, very weak. That car looked great, sounded great, but was always vibrating apart. Another Carroll Shelby classic though.

[icp4life162005]

I really like the original wooden frame Morgans, not the kit car. I have never even sat in one but I love the look and style to them.

Hey man, thanks for the compliments, the 69 needs some work for sure, but i love it..

[Dirtcrasher]

I dated a hot chick with big b..bs and a BMW. That car was so much fun to drive, smooth and fast. Can't remember the model but you could shift it manually or auto shift. I got up to 135mph and it still stuck the road and had more throttle. WICKED stupid thing to do but she told me to "beat on it!!" and I had to do what she asked :)

[Erics350x]

3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo or My Brothers Pro Street 68 Camaro with a 427 and dual stage NOS

[Greiver430x]

Best I have ever Driven was my buddies 65 GTO, It had a NICELY built 454 in it. Th400 tranny, dana Rear, tubbed out, Mickey Thompson hot & stickeys, with line lock. Also had nitrous, never used it and never needed to. Onl;y had two seats in it , with a full roll cage and harnesses. I dont know how he was allowed to drive it on the street because i you gave it any gas it would push the front end straight through a corner. If you would just slightly push on the gas to drive down normal it would chirp the tires when the tranny would up shift. Anyway he sold it and some young kid got it and jumped on it and the front end came up then he some how slid it into a tree broadside. Wish I knew what it coulda pulled on a dyno, to bad we will never know now.:rolleyes:

[El'Capitan]

id have to say my dads 75 vette convertible. its stock right now, dual side pipes, headers, and a 383 stroker are comming soon though .:w00t:

[oldsking86]

She fast??????

Ever visit this site? http://www.oldspower.com/vb/index.php

Right now she runs the high 12's to low 13's... Motor's tired.. I have a nice built up 350 olds motor in the works that will be next. 250 shot of spray or possible a turbo (t66 or higher) to hopefully break the 10's... Tranny is buit up with a 3:73 posi.. I like to cruise the car so I'm thinking turbo ( and with an Olds powerplant it will be rare lol) with a 3:23 or 3:42 gear for some high speed when the boost kicks in :twisted:

Never checked the site, I will now though haha
How about your little G-body, any goodies?

Nice truck, but those rims and tires look gawdy on it. Needs some big ole' 38 inch super swampers.

[jason85atc250r]

even better yet a set of 39.5 boggers and it being covered in alot of mud:lol:

Ya some boggers or some MT claws would look sweet, but he does tug a truck with it and says the nittos pull up the asphalt!:naughty:
