1. 02 Acura NSX
2. 95 Stealth RT/TT / 91 300ZX TT (both mine)
3. 68 Pontiac GTO 400CI 4 speed Hurst convertible with 27,XXX original miles (mom's car)
4. 05 STI
5. 06 Honda S2K
6. 06 Mini Cooper Convertible (girlfriend's car, not fast, but fun to drive).
As you can see, I haven't driven many fun cars unfortunately, most of my friends aren't into cars.

1. F430: fantastic pace, handling, sound.
2. F360: as above but not as good.
Driven on Thruxton race track (UK) as birthday pressie, 160 MPH
3. BMW MCoupé (325 BHP UK version): mine. Brilliant engine, and love it or hate it looks. People don't know quite what it is. Weak point is the suspension which is a bit soft, but easily upgraded. Trunk floor has been know to rip under the torque but should be repaired by BMW at no cost. 0-60 MPH 5s
4. TVR Cerbera 4.5: mine. Up there with the Fezza's for sound, speed and charisma. It's a bit of a handful and will bite if not respected. Reliability issues and is really a weekend car. 0-60 MPH 4 s
5. TVR Tuscan S 4.0. Up there with the Fezza's for sound, speed and charisma. As per the Cerbera. Love the way the rear windshield and roof can be removed and stored in the trunk. 0-60 3.9 s
6. Mini Cooper S: mine. Nippy little car that handles like it's on rails. Surprisingly roomy inside, but no trunk. Lacks charisma. After a while I felt, although it was a greeat car, that it was a bit of a girls car!
6. 350z: mine. Great handling but could do with more grunt out of that NA engine. Looks great-interior could be better standard.
7. Dodge Viper. Hired in Vegas for day. Fantastic experience. Loved the way the car vibrated at tickover and love the looks. Naff interior and didn't handle that well.
All the cars had their own personality and in some ways came top of my list for different reasons. Best bang for buck would have to the 350z

That I have driven:
350Z
Nissan Titan
2008 BMW 335i Coupe
The Titan is the only one that I have owned. The other two I have been able to drive around a bit. All three were very smooth going down the highway, and quite also (335 was VERY quite, even at 90 mph). They all have firm grip, without being too bouncy. All in all, they are very nice vehicles and I would own any of the three.

I've only ever driven a few four-banger Hondas in the past...currently the honor of best car I've driven to date goes to my current 350Z
I've also been in my father-in-law's BMW 545i...but only as a passenger. SUCH an awesome car, and most of the time he drives it like he stole it.

I honestly have to say the 350Z is probably the nicest car that I've driven yet.
The most powerful was my friends '97 Camaro SS with a ton of mods on it.. very sweet car until he blew it up in a race.
I used to own a '91 MR2 Turbo which was a very fun sporty car, but I still have to say the 350Z has been the best overall
Granted I'm only 24 and I dont have rich friends who have Ferraris or Corvettes and things of the sort =)
Oh.. and my dads '66 GTO is nice too.. but I like more modern cars, personally.

i test drove a porsche cayman s this weekend. reminds me a lot of the Z actually, only everything is maginified. handling is amazing, acceleration is comparable, but the cayman really feels like its putting you into your seat more than the Z. maybe the fact that it has 295 horsepower and only weighs 2900 lbs. the cayman just feels "right" i dont really know how to describe it. it is so refined, every turn feels awesome, and it really feels like you're "driving" the car. i can see why people who buy porsche's ususally dont buy anything else again as far as a sports car. now, if it wasnt 60K i would have sold my car and drove off the lot with it

Mazda RX-8
Honda S2000
both driven very hard at a track or mountain road. the light weight and perfect balance of those two cars makes the Z seem like a sluggish pig
