does my toyota count?
otherwise, a S class mb sedan is as super as it gets.

You do know what a supercar is, don't you? It can for example be an BMW M3 or an Ferrari Enzo, no Mercedes C320 but a C32 AMG is OK. No common cars but cars that when you see them you get excited. Not only European cars but Asian or US cars are fine too.

didn't have the chance to drive a supercar yet.....
the most expensive car that i've driven is a 2001 Mercedes Benz SL500 (at a MB test drive event)
other fine cars that i've driven include 2001 MB ML320, 1998 BMW 540i (at a GM test drive event)

I guess it doesn't really count but the closest I came was when I dressed up and aranged a trest drive of the Aston Martin GT. It was a beautfiul car, if only the interior was looked after a little better in the design department. If only I had the money in real life..

how do you liked it in detail, because i´m useing one as a daily driver, and most of the ppl ( who haven´t driven one... :wink: ) are telling shit about it... :?
i just love mine too, the perfect daily driver, so smooth on the autobahn, but also kinda sporty when necessary....

btw, thx jon_s for the flowers, i´m trying my best here on JW hoping that some ppl appreciate and enjoy it...

I've driven a Techart GT Street S, 2 Ferrari 360's, a Z06(I consider super), Oh and for those talking about the 7 series I've driven a 760Li a few times and I have to say that is a hell of a car very quick, comfortable, and quiet, also stops on a dime considering the size. An SL55 AMG, S55 AMG, M3, M5, and all our old cars I consider them rare, how often do you see them driving down the road. Sadly I see about 2 EVO's every day so I'm not too sure about that but it's still a special car (It's beaten a C4S, M3, S4 in numerous tests)

The closest I've been to a NEW Porsche 911 Turbo is in a parking lot (parked), when I visited England Last year.
Though I've driven a 2000 Subaru P1, a 275PS Model, And I think thats the Fastest thing I've ever Driven in my Life. Since then I realised what I was missing living in India. Though I love my country. But it itches when you know you can afford a Super Car but Cant buy it as it take about 120% Import Duty to get it in the country. Its like Buy a SuperCar for 50000+ Euros, Spend 70000 Euros on your Import Duty and You finally get the car worth 50000 for 120000 Euros.
It sucks..

The owner of the car is my parents friends(who they met through my sister and thier daughter who are bets of buddies). so i was allowed to take er out for a spin (with the owner of course). had it up to a shade under 200km in a 50zone.... :shock: heheh. but to answer ur question st. anger, it drives like a dream. never have i been in a car so smooth and calculated in its ride, yet blazingly quick for such a large car. The I drive is not hard to work whatsoever(her son had the thing figured out to a T) surround sound car phone, and u got that nice computer lady asking "what number please.." one moment"dialing" heheh i loved it. i felt like a million bucks in that car and thats what its meant for. the only problem that they are havin is in the electrical systems...they have had the car just not start....the radio turn off and not come back on til they start the car again(or just kick back in a few km down the road) (had to bring it in to the dealer recently, they were nice enuf to provide them with a '04 530i for a doner car...(also very awesome). the seats were the most supportive i have ever sat in. the interior is to die for....very much german engineered for proficiency and functionality....a great car, but id rather have an M5 hehe :D

Does a Boxster count... :shock:

I think a Boxster S counts.
By the way Does a 2000 Subaru Impreza P1 Count?
I mean I think thats the fastest I've driven. Though I did drive a friends 2001 Mercedes S 320, but didnt push it at all, was more like a luxurious ride.

I can only Imagine how '03 745i' would be to drive or to even sit in it!

Almost all the AMG's, 911, 355, M3&M5, XKR, Saleen Mustang (forgot the name, something with 381 or so in the name), RX-7, some race cars (group A integrale, astra, peugeot 405 & 406 supertouring, ibiza kit car ...), corvette 04&05, venturi (forgot which one, think it was Atlantique), various imprezas and evos, audi RS4, S6, S8 and a lot of slower cars (S2000, celica, CTR ...)

:D I drove a 1991 ferrri 348 TB, black on black..... wish it were my dream car the 355 tho... couldnt tell you really how they compared but somehow it wasnt waht i expected... throttle response was quick to normal cars.. but the steering was very hard... and god forbid the seats were ass.... i felt like i was sitting on wood... not much for appearance inside the car, but i did like the outside look... the rear light grill was removed and finished with the double 355 lights, which were much more appealing... i only got to test it up to 120 km/h but it was the sweetest ride i ever drove
