It was a family friends' so I didn't exactly drift it. A full production CTR. Drove it on a crisp, early, Sunday morning in Ottawa, Canada. With the boost turned up, it was quite frightening. Nothing, nothing, nothing...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK, WHOOSH, BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK.

Faster than anything I've driven (fastest car other than that is a Ferrari 430 on full song) but some margin and easily the most visceral. Proper old-school performance. Noisy transmission, whooshes and pops from the engine, and that upright windscreen. It was just right.

The adjustable boost knob was the single coolest car interior feature in the world too.

Pity he's since sold it!
I'm seriously envious beer

Fingers crossed, one day I'll get the chance smile

In this order, back to back. I think the change in rawness, handling, speed and feedback would be interesting.

McLaren F1

Radical of some sort
Bentley Speed 8

For me:

F40
Integrale
Sapphire RS Cosworth-I had a passenger ride in one before I could drive, the acceleration was unbelievable.
DeLorean-Yes, I know they're rubbish but I don't care. To me they're as cool as a penguin's nudger.
Audi Quattro

Showing my age I fear...

Ferrari (most models)

Bentley C GT
BMW M6
Porsche 911

Back in high school at about 12 years old, my friends Mothers partner had a 911 from the 80's. White and just stunning. We use to sit in it and pretend to drive it when he was away. Fell in love with Porsche.

If any pistonheads members have these in West Yorkshire I'd love to even have a look at these cars let alone have a ride in one
That's 7 wink

Oh, and I know of at least 4 of those in West Yorks, but sadly I can't offer you the chance... including a LaFerrari with 0 miles on the clock, that will never be driven by the owner.
Tbf is just like to be in the same company of the vehicles just to have a gawp

Would love to drive all of them myself, obviously but I would happily accept passenger rides in any of them, if there's any owners who are feeling particularly generous?!
