Has anybody here driven exotic cars before ?

[trev0006]

they are worth the money if you can afford them.

 

[cobra_4]

My dad's 94 Viper when he had it but I wouldn't really consider that exotic.

 

[wickedsvt2002]

I got to drive this 05 Lamborghini Gallardo (sp) before I detailed it.

Ferrari 360 Modena - about 700 miles
Bentley Continental GT - about 100 miles
Porsche 911 Carrera Vert - from Ft Lauderdale to Daytona and back

went for a real quick ride in a gallardo once. gas light was blinkin though, he didnt get on it. man are those things low to the ground

 

[Coiled03]

1991 Ferrari 348TS
1987 911 Turbo
1983 911 Targa
2003 911 Turbo
Couple of Lambos

My father did/does own the first 4. The Lambos were cars he test drove, and let me drive at the same time when considering buying the others.

I drove my uncle's 360 Spyder.

It was nice, but I wasn't that impressed.

 

[CobraCarrera]

My buddies 1991 911 Turbo.....not much different than my standard 911 C2...

I though that it would be a different ride, but it wasnt too much different..even in boost..

I still love the looks of them better than my narrow body Carrera

I used to work valet, so I drove some exotic cars but it wasn't whipping them on a track. It was more of a couple of blocks drive to the garage and a little goosing of the throttle.

exotic cars I drove:
Gallardo
Continental GT
DB7
Elise
Not really exotic:latest gen M5, SL65

 

[Gringo185]

My "Make-a-Wish" would definitely be a few hot laps around the 'Ring in a Saleen S7 TT. :banana:epper::dancenana:

 

[Moreboost88]

When I was a valet I drove a Ferrari F430, and a Lambo Murcialago. The best part about it was our lot was around the block so I got to take a detour for alittle extra ride. Oh yea the guy in the F430 had 5 joints in the cup holder haha

 

[CobraKid04]

Ferrari 550 Maranello
Ferrari 348
Dodge Viper (in my garage)

oh and one of these

Lamborghini Gallardo
Nissan GT-R (exotic?)
Formula Renault. Never felt a car pull so many Gs even in the wet. Made a nippy car like the S2000 feel like a boat.

how the F did you guys get to drive a formula 1 car. I want to so bad...actually thats my dream job.

 

[FL-Orange]

I've parked quite a few. I used to valet for a couple of years while in college.

It's not a Formula 1 car, dude. It's a Formula Renault. Toooooooootaly different car.

 

[KWClutch]

Lambo Countach and a Porche 911 Turbo. The lambo was a pain to drive...the 911 had horrible turbo lag for half a second then launched like a rocket. Went from 20-160 in no time.

 

[*TK*]

I've driven my brother-in-laws Ford GT, it is nuts. Its kind of like driving a giant go-kart, there is absolutely no body-roll and it corners like its on rails. I don't know if that is exotic but if its not it pretty d*mn close. Oh yeeah and its not so bad in a straight line either... :burnout:

 

[greenstang1313]

most expensive sports car Ive driven was a black 2002 Corvette:shrug: It hauled ass though. LS1 FTW.

 

[HYBRED]

I got to sit in a Mclaren F1, Ferrari Enzo, Lamborghini Murcielago and a Countach. I was supposed to get to drive the Countach, but it had a broken alternator fan belt and they were having trouble tracking down a new one.

 

[Jimmysidecarr]

GEEZ! I almost forgot...:bash::rollseyes I drove my friend Larry's Ford GT!
Did not get to do much cornering and when I did I was very nervous about the pendulum effect of the mid engine weight. So I basically milked all the turns.

But HOLY CRAP! That car is INSANE! He put a Whipple on it and it puts down about 725 RWHP with the conservative 93 octane street tune!

Talk about LEAVE! You have to be in 3rd gear at about 60 with hot tires before you can even THINK about WOT!
Car eats up real estate faster than a Fanny Mae repo agent on CRANK!

What a freaking RUSH! :rockon:
