Best car you have ever been in / driven

Been in: Lamborgini Diablo 2WD, seen it in Edinburgh when I was like 10 when my dad took myself and my brother down. The guy saw me looking at it with my jaw open and asked if I wanted to sit in it, jumped at the chance then he started it and revved it up, that is why I adore Lamborghini's so much.

 

Driven: My mates Evo VI with 390bhp, stunning performance and great handling, this car makes you feel like God when driving, switch off the computer though and it will bite you hard.

The best car I've ever had a ride in was this black 1994 McLaren when I was about...9 or 10.

 

The car belonged to a friend of one of my relatives who was a self-made millionaire in Monaco. Anyways, during a family event, I had caught the car outside on the street right in front of a little "Tourist Souvenir" shop (a shop I would work for in 8 years). As I gawked, the man (won't reveal his name; I've just managed to contact him lately) asked me if I would like to sit in it.

 

I remember seeing those butterfly doors just open up, like a rocket ship, and just climbing into the passenger seat. Then he asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I replied the obvious as my great-grandpa smiled.

 

He started it up, and damn, it was amazing. Everyone on the street just flocked to it. I felt like a star, or something. The drive was about 5 minutes, but it was the best 5 minutes of my life, esp. listening to it hit those high RPMs under the Fairmont Hotel. Well, years down the road, I learned he had moved to New Zealand for a short time, and now resides back in the hills of Monaco.

 

As for the best car I've driven, I'd probably say the Murcielago Roadster or Diablo VT. The Diablo VT, though, is definately more of a power-monster, and requires a gentle foot to keep it from going wild.

Nice, i've never seen a proper McLaren, only the SLR which I hate. How did you get to drive the Lambo's?

Managed to touch an Enzo once... just at a motorshow so probably doesn't count. Nothing as fancy as some of those on this thread, but was driven around in Porsche Boxster S - fun little car.

 

I've not really driven much. Drove my friends Mini Cooper (new one) with a few added extras (:D) making it just under 200bhp

 

Also drove my friends 6.0L V8 Ford F250 pickup when I was in the states a few years ago. Even fully loaded (had a twin cab and 6ft bed) it moved when you asked it to.

The best Porsche I've had a ride in was the very rare Porsche 911 flat Nose, don't know if this is what they were called. It did get a lot of attention and that is why my friend got rid of it. :( It was such a nice car here is a pic of what it looked like.
