I've never haven driven cars that were very fast. I always like the slow car fast method since both cars I own are slow. I never really felt the thrill of being in a car that was quick. Today I drove an RX-8. I know its not the fastest car but it had over a 100 more horsepower than my current car and close to the same weight. It was so easy to speed and that car and felt very thrilling when accelerating in it. It also felt better since the RX-8 was a stick, and my Celica is an slushbox. What car made you realize that horsepower was intoxicating, and what is the fastest car you have driven?

You don't know what's good until you get in an airplane with an stunt pilot. I got the chance to ride with an older family friend in a WW2 era fish biplane, and it was without a doubt the most awesome ride I've ever been on. Open air cockpit and were doing barrel rolls, loops, verticle stalls and am sorts of crazy shit and I loved every minute of it . No car ride has yet to come anywhere close to it. That being said, there's no replacement for displacement... turbos help though lol. Probably the best car ride I've had was in a twin Turbo dodge Cummins diesel. That thing could keep up with just about anything on the road save crotch rockets and such.
