+1 for the Viper. Most people don't understand what 400 ft-lbs of torque at 2300 RPM feels like or does to a car's traction (with no driver-aids like TCS, mind you), and I've read tooooooo many stories about guys letting buddies drive their cars and that being the last drive of the car period.

Another Viper owner, MAYBE, but nobody else.

Depends on who. When I first got the Z, my dad drove it. Fair enough, its my Dad, and he BABIES cars.

Then I let one of my friends drive it. He let me drive his '03 GT and I beat the **** out of it lol. He jumped in the Z for a bit, was wicked chill. I don't even think he chirped a gear, but he did go wide open for a bit.

I let my boy drive my Z, but I didnt worry because he has a G coupe! If he fuked mine up, I would've been a noob over at G35driver.com, lol.

Never if they just wanted it to show off for. But i have let them try it out with me in it. I would never lend them the keys and have them go off somewhere w/o me

I have one friend i would let drive my car. All the sh it he has done for me, I could care less. I know he would only ask if he really needed it... <---- but he drives an EVO VIII so he doesnt ask much but he's the only person besides me that has ever driven my car and will ever drive my car, not even my girlfriend ;o

I let my friend borrow mine 2 days ago, by himself.

I know he's very careful, but also sometimes he likes to give the engine a workout, and that's OK with me. I personally want my friends to enjoy my car as much as I do.

Besides he is the one who taught me to drive a stick!
