What is the best automobile?

I wanted to know what the best automobile you have ever driven or been in? It doesn't matter if it is a car, truck, suv, etc..... So tell me what it is.

For me it isn't probably the best car but I was in a mustang on the track that hits 10's in the 1/4 mile. The nicest car I have been in so far was a G35 coupe. So it isn't the best but it is my best, I think.

I've driven or have been in quite a number of different cars in my days, but I must say the BMW M5 is amazing. I say thi cause it has the speed and handeling of a sports car. The lines are amazing and you can drive it all year here in the northeast.

v12 s class (the older one) It was my brother- in- law's company car in Taiwan. Even fully loaded, it pulled like crazy w/ just a touch of the pedal. Never even saw 3000 rpm on it & performance was great!!

BMW M3...definately on my list. My uncle/aunt own one and i got to ride in it a lot, excellent car. Very very very good in performance, comfort, and reliability

Lincolns are very nice cars too, they may not be very sporty but that one supercharged model is very quick. Comfort is definately a plus and so is reliability.

as a SUV i would say the Porsche Cayenne turbo....nuff said....

Well... I would have to say my Saturn SL1! It handled better than my Civic, and it's about the same speed...

But realisticly... I would say my friends 11 sec. del Slow. I rode in it, and I was like... this is 11secs?! So I got in my car, and mashed it... I was like... "MAN HE WAS UP TO 100mph now"... I look down... 55mph!!! HAHAHA!!!!

No kidding. . . this is one of the reasons I'll be leaving this site before too long.

And seriously. . .. Sadboy. . . WTF do you do up here, anyway? Half the posts of yours I read are slamming someone else. . . who the hell cares what car owns what?

FYI: New Vipers are in the $80K price range. No kidding they'll smoke some cars that cost over $100K. When you get up into that price range, you're going to see a wide variety of sports cars. . . not all of them are out there to dominate.

But again. . . who really cares?


Best car I've driven so far . . . STi. (And will be driving one a lot more, very soon)

Best car I've ridden in . . . Mercedes S Class

Sat in= Nissan R33 Skyline GTR

^^ Was at a car show & they had the NX S15 drift machine sitting next to a grey GTR, there was nobody around that stand & the doors were unlocked, so I jumped in & my friend took pics. I had to run straight to the bathroom afterwards to clean out my underwear...
