- All M3s (E30, E36, E46, E90)
- Lotus Elise
- Ferrari F575 Maranello
- Porsche 993 Turbo
- MINI Challenge Race Car
- Lots of BMWs (750i (F01, E65), 530i, 120i, 130i, 135i, 325i, 116i, Z4 2.5i, X3 (2.5i, 3.0i), X6 3.5i, X5 (3.0i & 4.4i), E36 325is & 328is (at the 'ring - 15 laps).
- Dodge Viper (original, early '90s)

Of those, I'd say:

- The E90 M3 is the best all rounder by far.
- The E46 M3 is the most exciting to drive on the street of the M3 range.
- The Lotus Elise is the most fun on a track.
- The 993 TT is the most exhilarating.

Cayman S for me. I love sitting with the engine behind me and the grip/handling that thing has in corners is perfect and gives you confidence.

HAHAHA this reminds me of one of my ex girlfriends. Her dad had a new Bentley Continental GT and a gorgeous older Bentley convertible; not sure what it was. Can you guess what her first car was?

Best car?

I'll be honest and leave just short test drives of 'best' cars out of it.

Most driving fun

My Lotus Elan+2 I once owned.

My 2002tii I once owned.

The (genuine) Lotus Seven that a close friend owns (but I will admit I've driven only twice.)

My 993 C4S I currently own.

Most driving fun with comfort

My Bavaria 3.0 I used to own.

My 300 SEL I used to own.

My E63 I currently own.

Yes, and he also owns an original King Cobra. And that's not all he owns.

He's won several Clio Awards in the cinema/television category and is a long time car buff. He used to race in the vintage circuit and at the Monterey Historic.

I've driven a few nice cars, but by far the best has been the F430. I am a HUGE GT3 fan, but I have never had a change to drive one!

List of some of the exotics that I enjoyed driving...

- 996 TT (modded)
- 996 Ruf GT2
- 997 Turbo
- Lamborghini Gallardo
- Ferrari F430

In a seperate category I would put...

- R35 GTR
- Aston Martin Vantage (performance wasn't jaw dropping, but was very fun)
- Various BMW's and Mercedes (E46 M3/E92 M3/C63/etc)

My dad's Bentley. It's big, but it's fast. Going 100 feels like 30.

It would be a good car to go "big pimping" in. Not my favorite car of all time, but very cool, and unique.

Sounds like a great car.. I've heard tons of mixed reviews about it.

I would not rate these as what is best for me, but what is best for its purpose

Enzo - bare and raw. Loved it. Excellent track toy with a beautiful screamer in the back
Veyron - quiet and all about the luxury. Felt like flying in my friend's Hawker
LP640 Roadster - a heavy piece of machinery. To me it felt heavier than the Veyron. Draws more attention than the CGT
CGT - perhaps I am getting old. The clutch wears me down in traffic, so I do not drive it as often nowadays. '
SLR - feels the heaviest of the bunch and the handling is the worst of the bunch. It felt more like a lightened Maybach with loads of torque
Scuderia - very easy to drive and the shift time on this is amazing. Very capable track car
