    Two rear wheel drive cars that I had a lot of fun in!!
    My MR2 that I owned for 12years. Had plenty of race days with it.

    Next vehicle was my Porker. Awesome car. Had to sell it when I came to the States. Still miss it.

    Fun! The nicest non street legal car I’ve driven is this Formula 2000

    and the nicest street legal car I’ve driven was one of 30 Mercedes C63 Affalterbach editions that were brought into Canada

    Brand new at the time right out of the car dealership 1993 Chevy Camaro Z-28 with the LT-1 engine it beat the Dodge stealth I had before it that dodge the clearance was not right on the clutch off the assembly line a friend told me who worked for dodge after they made me pay for a repair saying I burned up the clutch that left a bad taste in my mouth know they screwed me so traded it in for the Chevy best move I did until I got one to many speeding tickets after that no more fast cars. The Z-28 had that cool rumble when you put your foot on the gas do miss that car.

    Yeah, I know - a bit banal - but actually the nicest car I’ve ever owned (and I’ve held a full licence since 1966) with more bells and whistles than I’d ever have thought I need.

    I guess I'm lucky, as the nicest car I've driven is one that I owned, a 1965 Porsche 356C. Pure enjoyment, every day.

    @High Hope she is just fabulous. I had a 'C' engine in my 1962 B race car along with the 'C' disc brakes... never got to drive one on the road unfortunately but the sound and feeling must be fantastic...

    perfect timing as I was just going through some old photos. I too had a 93 Z-28. Didn’t buy it new but definitely had a blast driving it as a 21 year old. I would say 90% of my tickets were due to this car.

    Favorite I've driven is the SLS at Exotics Racing in Vegas. Although, I was 5 seconds quicker in a 991 GT3. They recently received the new GT500, so Im hoping to flog it and deem it "nicest" I've driven. As for owned? I am currently on Ford #5 and its my third F150. Other two are/were my '68 Mustang and my first car, a '96 Thunderbird LX - sitting on Konis and Eibachs, custom suspension braces, aluminum motor, and big brakes. I loved it, my dog could hear me coming down the street and be waiting when I got to the door.

    Quite so, and I have always savoured the idea of having a Type 2 myself, (especially when my kids were teenage and mad on boogieboarding), but the actuality of driving one any distance is another matter! And anyhow, you seem to have applied sensible self-help with the subject of that second posting, even though if in that you felt things were more nimble, you knew the bald performance data might suggest otherwise. I've only driven a Type 14 once, but loved it, and I still like those idiosyncratic looks up to this day. Why, even the engine deck script is better than that on my beloved Porsches!

    The Type 2 is great to drive - pretty nimble all things considered (not at very slow speeds) - it just takes longer to get wherever you're going! The Karmann is very nice to drive - it has a decent top speed but unforti=unately has the braking distance of an oil tanker.

    And back to the 69.5 Dodge A12 Superbee that I started this thread with as the nicest car I've owned... found a few more pics that reinforced to me the idiocy of selling her ... perhaps not the most comfortable cruiser out there as the 4.10 gearing meant revs sat around 4,000 a good amount of the time (but at 9mpg or so the gas companies were doing well!) BUT you could drive to the strip, drop a mid-12s 1/4, and happily drive home again!
