Default What cars are on your "to test drive" list?

What cars are currently on your "to test drive" list, might be for interest, purchase consideration, comparo to your current ride, or a retro car you wish you owned

Mine are as follows

1. Like to test drive an old aussie injected stroker 5.7 from the 90s in a old hsv gts/senator. Never driven one. i used to own a modded aussie 5.0 efi years ago, always wanted to driver the stroker version

2. F6 FG, still have not driven one, interested to see how good they are stock, i had a modded xr6t a few years back, comparative test, ive driven fg xr6t, like to know how much better f6 is

3. GT 335, boss 5.0. I still have not driven one, interested how well they go stock, also comparative against fg f6 and even my modded boss 5.4

4. T series 5.6, interested to see what the fuss is about, ive bagged em a bit but interested to feel this supposed mountain of low down torque and how it stacks up against boss 5.4, i like the windsor 5.0 efi so im sure it would be nice to drive

5. Merc c63, i saw some young chick rollin round in one. They are nice cars, 6.3 litres of merc muscle must be the goods

So you have been bagging 5.6 litre T series without actually ever driving one?

For me:

5.0 Supercharged GT
R35 GTR

4. Genuine Phase III XY GTHO (just to say I have driven one)
5. Shelby AC Cobra (dreaming lol)
6. R35 GTR Skyline (see how it handles on a windy road)
7. Lamborghini Gallardo Super Veloce (especially on the autobahn in Germany)
8. Monster truck (for the fun factor)

You've bagged them a bit .. Talk about the understatement of the Century. You've bagged them a HEAP..

And you've never even had or driven one.. Any slight shred of credibility you ever had left just went clean out the door..

I dont have to own or have driven every car? I buy the better car and in that vintage was the ls1. Why would i buy the lesser car? Why did ford sell less? I only want to drive one as there are a few who harp on about them. See what the fuss is about.

How did you know it was the lesser car if you never drove it?

So you have bagged them w/o driving one, you really have no idea.

Here I will make it much eaiser for you my poor missguided friend..

This is your own word's,

I have driven a 5.6 litre windsor but it was in the pursuit ute. Ive owned 3 injected windsors myself, stock and modded. Ive also owned a ls1, (from stock to 282rwkw). I currently own a modded Boss, im not just stiring the pot, im just less one eyed.
