Most expensive car is a Hyundai Terracan (top speed 167km/h).

Best(well my favourite atleast) and fastest is Toyota Paseo [1992](top speed 192km/h and it handles like nothing else(I easily went around a corner rated for 45km/h at 105-110km/h))

Only other car I've driven is Ford Falcon EL GLi Sedan (top speed 180km/h (speed limited)

Both the Terracan and Paseo are manuals hence my preference for them.

Hoping to experience more cars once I get off my L's

You've done 200KM/h on your L's? You're not from Sydney are you?

Fastest I've been would be 130km/h on a freeway while merging into fast moving traffic. That was in the Terracan.

I'm sort of from sydney.

And that corner, although rated 45, can be held at 80 by, I'd say, every car.

Fastest and most expensive car i've driven, my 04 XR6 Turbo, have had it at 230km/h, paid $42,500 back in 05 for it.

Been in many other fast cars, been for a ride in an R34 GT-R V-Spec II, when the guy bought it it set him back 100k, also my mate has a 600hp Supercharged and intercooled VY SS ute, just recently got it back on the road after it cought fire not long after he originally bought it, tyre frying machine that one.

Fastest car I have driven was probably Azzy's VT GTS.

Car I have driven fastest was a Jaguar XJS which had a Chev 350 dumped in the front of it (replacing the unreliable V12). Did around 230 in that.

fastest car i've driven: high end holden, don't quite remember what numbers (3-400kW?)

most expensive: e320 merc or dads e39 535i.

i was a hotel porter and got to park a lot of cars... the holden mentioned above i didn't go above 50km/h in, but took it around the corner carefully in second gear (hotel car park was at the back), carefully put foot down a bit, and because it was wet i accidentally spun the wheels. fortunately the owners were not in view :)

most fun i've had was in my old corolla 1993 1.6L in the 93-97 shape hatch. had some wonderful drives through twisties in that.

fastest i've driven was in dads 535i, got to quite illegal.

fastest i've been in someone elses car: porsche 928 s4, over 200km/h very quickly.

Fastest, probably mine. reached 220k's on the track. VERY Heavy breaking was needed to get the speed down before the next corner. very hairy experience seeing that concrete wall get closer and closer yet u continue to speed up.

most expensive probably a 2007 Forrester XT

worst was a 1970 something toyota which we wrote off in a mates paddock after much bashing though the bush.

A mate and I did the first 2 levels of the BMW driver training over 4 days about 9 years ago now at the "Island"
Cost a bit but when you get Geoff Brabham as one of the instructors it's worth it.

Thoroughly recommend it or any high quality training program for any driver as it really shows what a car can do and what a driver shouldn't do.

Yeah, nice :) Have always wanted to do an advanced driving course. My oldies did it when the WH's came out and they got to skid around in Statesman's all day! Jerks didn't take me :( I think my dad got Brock (RIP) that day :x
