Have had rides in quite a few nice cars, most of them on racetracks. the top 5 would be:

1. 996 GT1 roadversion. A racingdriver drove it on a damp track. He drifted in most corners. The car felt faster between 90-150mph than it did between 30-90mph. When the turbos kicked in it sounded like a jet engine. Felt nice to pass a Mercedes CLK-GTR on the straight. Awesome car

2. Lamborghini Diablo VT. Feels slow and the suspension is way too soft if you compare it to 911 GT1, but if you compare it to anythinhg else it's a wonderful car. Thought we were going off the track in the sand when the driver entered a 180 degree curve at 90mph but the tires only screeched a little.

3. Porsche 964 Turbo S. Great car with 420-450hp. Felt faster than the Diablo.

4. Porsche 996 Carrera Cup. The car doesn't feel so fast or dramatic on a wide track but the racingdriver who drove it made it fun. He drove sideways in almost every corner with the back of the car on the curbes making the seats better than any masseuse.

5. Corvette C5. Great sportscar with nice engine sound.

The only cool car I've driven is a Mercedes ML 430 with tuning kit and engine upgrade from Brabus and 22inch wheels with lowprofile tires. Only drove it for a very short bit, but of course i floored it and managed to get it up to 110mph on a country road. It was a fast car but I don't like SUV:s really.

I went around Sandown Raceway in Victoria, Australia in a 1993 Porsche 911 (964) 3.6 Turbo, I saw 220kph several times over the 7 laps and it took 20 minutes - what a ride! (Had to limit it to 7 laps as the tyres were starting to go!)

p.s

Driving in my brother's car at the magnificant Bathurst circuit (in New South Wales) was fantastic!!!

The two special cars (In my opinion, these cars are special) that I drove which was a great memory. The Ferrari 512TR on the road & the Acura NSX on the circuit. Both cars, I drove it about 6 years ago.
