Mini cooper S is the closest thing to a go cart but it is street legal. It is up there on fun factor!!

I didn't find the 360 to be as much fun. Of course it will destroy the S in absolutely every objective performance catagory, but I think the s2k is more enjoyable.

This is a difficult question because different cars can bring different forms of fun to driving. My C6 is infinitely more powerful than the S2000 and as such offers power related fun that the S2000 cannot match. However, the S2000 offers tossability that is unmatched in any car I have driven (I am sure the Elise probably beats it).

At the end of the day, hopefully the car you are driving is the one offering you the most fun.

I know what you mean, but my old mercedes was just as fast as your vette, but at no point did I think it was as fun as my S was. Sure, it was cool to get pushed back into my seat, but seeing as it takes no skill to execute, straight line speed gets old really quick (to me at least)

Here's my list:

Elise, more hardcore than the S2k
Conti GT, although I drove a pre-production car, it's still impressive that it doesn't feel like a very heavy car. Driving 150+mph is almost too easy. Impressive acceleration at high speeds.
F430, great soundtrack, only the new V8 Vantage comes close in sound. Everywhere you drive people go
DB9, more hardcore than the Conti GT and also noisier, but what a noise it is.

I don't know what Mercedes you are referring to. However, in my case I am at least comparing 2-seat convertible sports cars. For me the C6 absolutely offers fun that S2000 didn't. However, the S2000 offers fun the C6 didn't. Owning/driving both is a privilege.

He's talking about his SLK55 that he got rid of. Of course, an SLK55 isn't going to be as much fun as a C6, especially comparing the manual transmission of the Vette to the 7-speed automatic of the SLK. Of course, handling and tossability, should be higher on the Vette too.

2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10. Insane amount of torque, can do 90mph in 2nd gear. Makes my S feel like a 3 cylinder Metro.

Thanks for that link!

Now 'scuse me I have to go write a letter to Santa Claus. (i.e.: I'd kill for 1 of them!)

Remember those old Aries-K 's? ... definitely more fun
