my 1991 lincoln towncar!! why?? becouse it was HOT! custom paint! stereo Hydraulics!! 3 pumps 10 batteries in 3 hits of the front switch it could be up 6 ft in the air hoppin the front end! insane three wheel! just plain blast to drive!! I love it! (currently redoing it completely!)

this is my buds that I hooked up, its close to what mine was (dont have any scanned pics of mine!






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

[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!

one of the few pics of my 91 before teardown sorry for the smalll size

[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

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!

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!
