First generation RX-7. This car has the front/rear weight ratio of a pickup truck. If you ever wanted a lesson in throttle steering, just slide behind the wheel of Mazda's little sporting rotary. What a hilarious car.

Other than S2k, MR2 Turbo!! I miss that car. I loved it do death. Mine was bone stock. Handling is very similar to the S2k except for steering (s2k is better).

I've also driven an MR2 Spyder and I do agree that it's a very fun car to drive. More tossable than the second gen MR2s.

Merkur Xr4ti. Handled great, very nuetral, easy to drift to scrub off speed in turns if need be. Faster than most V-8s of the day (mid 80's).

Porsche 911 (996)

Fantastic car to drive, the engine just pulls and pulls, and the sound is amazing. I was in a 911 4S yesterday in the rain, and that thing just grips and grips. Really fun car to drive.

Most fun Ive had driving a car was an 84 saab 900 5 spd that my buddy and I bought for the sole purpose of breaking it. We drove the shit out of it, and Im sure any car would be fun if you drove it the way we did. Haha.

I found the mr-s to be one of the more fun cars ive driven. It just turns and goes wherever you want it to go. Although it doesnt have a very powerful engine, the hp/weight ratio isnt that bad, so the car does have the get up and go factor. Its a great car, but its just a bit too small for daily driving.
I have to agree with you. Not the car I'd like to be seen driving, but it was a lot of fun to drive. It didn't feel very fast, but it was fun to drive nonetheless.

Good to see you're here, Mark. Of course, we have the same tastes...

I dono man... I dont like the mushy feeling of the Cooper S... I drive one pretty often (my mother has a Cooper S), and Im not really impressed with it.

Most fun... hmmmmm.... interesting:

Tossability: S2000...

All out acceleration: 600whp Supra (WOW!), 11 Second CRX (Imagine getting in a metal bucket with 300+whp), FD3S.

Looks: Ferrari 328 (unfortunetly, its the only one Ive driven. Its funny how everyone looks at you like a rolling million even though you are not even rolling on 50k.)
