Thought I'd see if any of you lot liked your fast cars!

Currently without a car (wrote of the Nissan last year boo hoo) but still manage to get around in a Gtr R32 every weekend.

Let's see what type of conversation we can spark up here!

    Love fast cars! Current I've got a not-so-fast, but fun to drive Datsun 280Z. The FI stuff was removed years ago and it's got a set of Mikuni triple carburetors in place of that.

  • I currently have a '08 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro. It's a 6 speed and i love to drive it. I only drive it on weekends, very seldom do i drive it during the week because i have a company vehicle. The Audi is fast for me....does it qualify here though?

    Love cars here! Don't have a fast one myself but I sure would love to have one. I'm also into car shows and luxury cars and drag racing and street racing. More than a bit of a car fanatic here.

    I have a 2009 Nissan Tiida as it is the only thing they would give me on the loan allowed. Boo
    Someday I would LOVE a Mustang, a '69 hatchback preferably

    Had a Mitisubishi GTO for 7 years. Loved every minute of ownership and all the modifications that I did to the engine, eventually hitting 428 Bhp.

    The car was stolen from my house via a break in in 2009 :(. Not seen it since. Sad times. I now drive a peugeot 406 diesel coupe!

    Oh my god, jealous. What year is the model? I love the body on them so much, almost as much as the similar Nissan s30z Fairlady.

  • I just adore fast cars....

    I have a 83 T Top Mustang with a 306, 88 Mustang Hatchback with 306 with 4:10 running gear, 92 4 banger (is getting a 351 stroker by the fall) and a stock 02 Mustang GT convertible with complete Stalker Body kit.

    Daily Driver is a big old Astro Van....not fast LOL

    I still want a 7-up Mustang and a Foxbody Saleen. AND I have made a vow as soon as I get those two plus a SHELBY, that I will not buy anymore cars. Drives my husband nuts,

    Amazing. I'm a big fan of the history of Nissan's older cars & history.

    Oh you guys, you and your American cars >_<
  • My first car was a 6 banger Mustang and I kept it for several years but Mustangs are not family cars and had a baby and needed something else to drive...and then I was a stay at home mom. MANY years and two grandkids later I finally started to grow my collection. I have had three other Mustangs in the past but nothing like the ones I have now.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE my cars
    I will add a picture of my cars but I do not have a clue how??

    That's awesome for a first car, hahahaha.

    I'm not sure how to add pictures either? But if you copy/paste the link below into your search engine it should come up with a photo of the R on my photography Page (:

    I've got a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS with a manual transmission. She's plenty fast. It's my 6th Camaro and I had a '76 Trans Am as well. Love my f-bodies!

    Was more into cars a few years back.
    "cool" one's I've owned

    1991 Nissan 300zx TT
    2008 Mazdaspeed 3
    2004 Mazda Rx8



    Thought about picking up a 240 and building a drift car at some point this year.

    That generation of the Z car was, and still is my favorite body for the modern Z. There is a Z, not sure if it's a 240/260/280 sitting at one of those used car dealers you really don't want to buy a car from here in town.
