nicest cars you've driven - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

wrongfullyaccuzd · 10-02-2003, 11:33 AM

alright i'm sorry if this is a repeat but i couldn't find anything previous...
what are the nicest cars you've driven? not been the passenger in, not seen on the street, not sat in, but driven.
i fully intend for this to be a graphics-loaded thread, so pour on the pictures!
i'm not very impressed with my own list, i'm looking to be outdone. let's see what you got. this is me:

porsche 944 turbo

mercedes slk 320

mercedes e 430

Peryn · 10-02-2003, 12:22 PM

eek....that i DRIVEN really narrows it down. i rarely get to sit in nice cars, let drive any nice / expensive ones.

Pretty much the only one on my list :

laconic1 · 10-02-2003, 12:25 PM

I used to work at a dealership, so while I never actually owned any of these cars I still got to drive them when they were traded in.

BMW Z3

Chevrolet Corvette

A couple of blingblinged Escalades, Denali's and Suburbans

WarWagon · 10-02-2003, 12:30 PM

Black 61 Catalina, Z06.

MoNoXiDe_XXX · 10-02-2003, 02:13 PM

69 (i think) Dodge swinger and my old Buick GN/T-Type

stingc · 10-02-2003, 04:08 PM

Couple of old hot rodded vettes. AMG-tuned 560SEC. Old Porsche 911's

DEI37 · 10-02-2003, 04:15 PM

Driven...

Viper GTS
Corvette ZO6
Mercedes S-Class...don't remember which "S" though
BMW M5
Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari 575M Maranello

That's pretty much it for the really nice cars. I've driven the ZO6 to it's max speed...some 173mph in the one we had...been faster in other vehicles, though.

Sion · 10-02-2003, 05:24 PM

91 Dodge Stealth Twin Tubo

not the fastest car in the world, but that fucker would shitngit!

bundy · 10-02-2003, 06:08 PM

wow.
some of you guys have driven some amazing vehicles.

the best that i´ve ever driven would have to be a friends new BMW (i think it was a 525 or something).

Cynthetiq · 10-02-2003, 06:13 PM

1998 Z3

Moonduck · 10-02-2003, 09:45 PM

Acura NSX. Go me.

madsenj37 · 10-02-2003, 11:27 PM

Mazda rx-8. Been driving it for about two weeks. It will have to do until I get a hold of a McLaren or 8 series bmw.

Rippley · 10-03-2003, 12:50 AM

Volvo 850 T. Sleepercar like you wouldn't believe!

Toyota Celica, a 95' I think. I thought it handled really well.

Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TSpark/Sportwagon 2.0 JTS. They're like freakin' gocarts on steroids...

wonderboy · 10-03-2003, 02:43 AM

A 1997 VW Passat 2,5 litre V6. 4-wheel drive and sequential tranny. Not that fast topspeed but a helluva lot of torque.

Silvy · 10-03-2003, 04:14 AM

Chevrolet Corvette C4....

Nothing like it!

stuffthatsgood · 10-03-2003, 06:26 AM

911 Turbo

BMW 7 Series

SL500

Benz S600

stinkynutz · 10-03-2003, 06:41 AM

my friend has an x5, 4.0 litre.
that's the nicest car i've driven. i love that suv.

i would love to drive an M class tho.

God of Thunder · 10-03-2003, 06:47 AM

I actually know two different people who own one. I've driven one of them, just not very far.

thadon · 10-03-2003, 07:31 AM

my uncle's '76 Rolls Royce

many different BMWs .. 3, 5 and 7 series

Lexus IS300

FastShark85 · 10-03-2003, 08:33 AM

What I drive everyday:

Porsche 928 S

pezking4 · 10-03-2003, 10:47 PM

Today I drove an '03 cobra with the stock blower replaced by a Kenne Bell, long tube headers, bosani catback, clutch, flywheel, tuned ECU, and 385/35/18 drag radials... it was... interesting to hit the gas on this beast.

arcane · 10-04-2003, 03:20 AM

s500 benz

not much but it was nice

brandon11983 · 10-04-2003, 08:19 AM

When I worked at the dealership, I got my pick of the fleet. The most luxurious, comfy car was a new Lincoln Continental. That car was fucking huge, the ass end was in a different area code. Big, fat ass leather seats, power everything, Blose audio... all the garbage.

The VW Passat W8 was a blast to drive. A 270 hp W8, 4-Motion AWD, with a manual shifted auto trans. That big baby came out of corners like a slingshot.

Scorps · 10-04-2003, 09:20 AM

1998 Chevrolet Intimidator:

2000 Chevrolet Camaro SS:

2001 Pontiac Grand Am Hot Wheels:

Well for the CTS-V its just the CTS(could find picture)

The vibe is the normal vibe to...picture is sweet and the Grand Am is just the normal Grand Am....but it did have Ram Air.

10-05-2003, 08:34 AM

vector_1979 · 10-06-2003, 08:52 AM

Can't say I've driven many cars in my young lifetime.

But one of my most favourite cars I have driven was an Audi A6 2.5 TDI. Very smooth and refined. Handled like hair to sticky toffee.

If you can give the A8 a go...

majik_6 · 10-07-2003, 05:28 PM

Hmm, not that many:

1969 Stingray (my step-mom's..I think I drove it once)
A newer Lincoln LS (my dad/step-mom's) NICE
1995 'lac Deville (was going to buy it instead of my 'Stang) rode GREAT

But my favorite is (strangely enough) my '92 S10 with just around 10 times the book value poured into it in modifications (suspension and appearance, no engine mods...yet)

drag0nmanes · 10-08-2003, 12:52 PM

My bud's 86 S-10 with a tune ported 350 smallblock in it. Mmmmmm...

mvassek · 10-09-2003, 04:44 PM

1953 Packard Clipper, My grandfather had just gotten it restored, it had a flathead straight 8 cylinder with a 3 speed on the column. It had more power than anything I have ever driven before or since and it felt like you were driving on a cloud.
