What makes driving so fun?

I'm with dbackfan (Porsche 911) on this. I own a 996 so I know the feel. I love route 100 in VT in the fall and also upstate NH and ME in SEP/OCT.



All this changed when I drove my friend's Modena a few weeks ago. A drive in a Ferrari on my city streets. What a head turner. Nothing like a Ferrari in my opinion. Sorry Porsche.

Yhea but you have to admit the 2003 Cobra is badarse! They got one at the local ford lot. I'll post some pictures soon. There sitting on my digi cam right now
 
its a great car but its still FI

I like NA better. most of the domestic dudes

used to poke fun at Imports cause they used FI to get comparable speeds with smaller engines.

best value for speed is probably the cobra

second best I like the WRX or the Upcoming Nissan 350z(287 hp from a NA V6!)
 
Cars are nice but really slow. For me nothing beats my turbo charged Suzuki Hayabusa. 231 hp , 0 to 150 mph in around 8 seconds and a top end of over 202 mph. All this for less than $15,000.00 installed. :xyxthumbs
 
motorcycles.. eh.. supercycles not cool... my girls cousin had a hayabusa... he had been riding for awhile and was experienced but he wiepd out one nite and well lets just say it was a close casket funeral.
 
Shoot me



but my most enjoyable rides are on a motorcycle (60 horses)



nothing standing between me and the wind , the sound of my 4 cylinders zooming though the scenery.

No one telling me i'm going to fast or to slow , no cars blocking my way (get passed them whenever & wherever I want), just me and my bike .



The only thing that can beat that feeling is hanggliding : that's 3D free feeling,

Motorcycle is 2D

Car is , well , let's say you're in a 4-wheeled cage :D



What makes driving so fun : that being self-responable for my own actions on a curby road
 
Before you jump on a bike let alone a Busa , first things first. A proper racing school is a must. I road raced for 11 years.

Same holds true for cars a good racing school is a must. Here in the USA anybody gets a license for around $20.00's at the DMV. That's just wrong. We are the only industrialized nation in the world that let's anyone drive a bike or car with no real training. In Germany getting a license runs you around $ 4,000.00 USD to pay for proper training. Here the thinking is the common man cannot be excluded because of a lack of funds to attend a real drivers school. That's why you see idiots in glorified station wagons sorry SUV's sitting in the fast lane going 75 with 10 cars behind him and the goober is yacking on a cell phone cause he's too cheap to buy a proper hands free unit for the car. Explain to me how they can come up with the monthly "lease payment" but can't buy a car kit for the phone.

Then when you start passing on the right I know this is wrong ,they look at you like what's wrong. This happened again to me tonight. Yet if I shoot this moron I would go to jail, how's that for fair.:mad:
