What's your favorite "fun" car other than the ONE?

[Matticus91]

Excluding all 1-Series (including the 1M) - what is the car that put the biggest SMILE on your face? Whether it's something you own, owned, test drove, or even rode as a passenger in.

For me, it's a 2013 ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang. A friend of mine owns it and I could not help but laugh the entire time I was riding in it. It's ridiculously overpowered for the platform and the tires it came with, leading to tons of wheelspin and extremely fun noises. 565 warrantied horses is a nice place to be!

Uh-oh! Mustangs again... crowd eaters. Haha (kidding)

I like Mustangs too. My favorite car was my 2006 supercharged Mustang GT - 475 ponies. Man, that car was fun!

[Eau_Rouge111]

For me...anything with at least 8000 RPM readline. So in my case my Z4M Coupe and it's S54 and a friend's F430 F1. I'd much prefer the 6 speed stick...but that kick in the back you get with that single clutch automated shift you get is an experience each car guy should take if given the chance.

[ShocknAwe]

Friend has a LS swapped 240sx. THAT car is an absolute blast. Around 450whp and proabably in the 2500 lbs weight ballpark. Really lightweight car. Total hoot to drive.

2016 Nissan GTR... Best car I have ever driven. PERIOD.
Also my buddy has a 2014 GT500.. almost 700hp. Thing ain't bad either but nothing compares to the GTR.

[bbrugger]

My 335i

[zx10guy]

Not a car but a bike...S1000RR. I had some fun a couple of weeks ago on the track.

[MightyMouseTech]

My sisters 97 Integra Type R. Man, that is a fun package right our of the box, just add an AEM cold air intake and it is perfect. Much prefer driving it than her V10 R8, which is surprisingly boring to drive.

[Delisic]

Porsche Cayman S!!! I drove a 2007 Cayman S 6MT for about three years. As a daily driver,, acceleration and the cornering was one of the best car I drove.

[tock172]

The E30 325e I bought the weekend before last.

In all honesty, there are a ton of other cars I love, but I would never label anything my, "favorite."

[Esteban]

My 2nd favorite car was my 1987 Supra. The paint was called Super White, I think. Beautiful! They had 2 Supras on the lot that day; one was the one I bought and the other was an automatic turbo in a blue color. I bought the one with the manual transmission. That car had the softest perforated leather I ever felt. Loved it till I totaled it.

Edit: TBH, I'm not positive about the year of that Supra. I could be off by a year or two... it was a long time ago.

It looked like this, minus the targa top:

I had an 02 GT myself that was an absolute blast. I bought it for $9k in excellent condition, but 60k HARD miles on it after 3 years and sold it for $8500. Best bang for your buck you could ever find.

If someone has an F430 F1 I'd be happy to give it a spin! I've always wanted to try that pneumatic F1 transmission.

That sounds like my kind of crazy!!

I've heard nothing but good things about GTRs, I need to get behind the wheel of one.

Teggy's are the best! Though i don't know how you couldn't like a V10 R8 lol

The Cayman is always an all around solid option for driving feel

Totally hear you on that last statement, so hard to separate some of them.

My dream would be an MKIV Supra, tuned obviously, preferably around 1,000hp

[Matticus91]

I'm going to add all the submissions to the OP in list form, for future shopping aid

[Matt@EuroJerks]

MK2 VR6 Swap.

Yessir, I can relate to that. Twin turbo Supra FTW! Yeah, I bought mine a little too soon. Should've waited a few years for the BEST Supra. Still, mine was a lot of fun.

The markup on those cars is NUTS. A friend of mine got one off an older woman who had complete maintenance records and barely drove the thing. Got it for $15k when it was easily worth double.

E36 M3

[Gray_Panther]

One of the most memorable and funnest drives I ever had was when I would spend my summers in Greece.
One day I took my uncle's 1.6l 4-speed MKII Golf and try to get home from the nearest city as fast as possible on mountainous roads.
And then I decided to try and beat it in my other uncle's 2.0l 5-speed 190E.

I don't think I'll ever get to experience that again!

[PDXE82]

1978 Volkswagen Westfalia. It's not fast and it handles like it looks like it would, but it's surprisingly capable off road and has most of the comforts of home when deep in the wilderness. I've had it for nearly 15 years and know just about every bolt on the thing. I rebuilt the engine myself a few years ago and it now puts out a warp speed producing 100hp. 0-60, yes...eventually.

[Suprgnat]

1969 Datsun 510.

I wish I had the resources to do it right at the time.

[ultimated]

2005 Mini Cooper S 6 speed, chili red:

[lowbudgethero]

GM LSx cars are pretty fun
the z3m was pretty fun
