What's the nicest car you have ever ridden in? For me, it would be a 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera, a 2004 Corvette C5, 2003 BMW 535i, (just rode in it 2nite) or a 2005 Mustang Vert......what about u?

I like to think my Mustangs are, but I have driven a '95 Ferrari F355. It was OK, you would think you'd be blown away by the experience of a Ferrari, but it wasn't all that. It was however, great to look at. I owned and drove a handful of ZR-1 Corvettes back in the day, those were fun cars. Rode in V-12 Jags, those were cool too.

All that said, I will take my Mach 1 or S/C Roush any day over those. Be happy you have a Mustang I say!

Definately have to say my 2005 Mustang GT. You won't find a viper, porshe, etc around my area and I think my car is nicer than any BMW in the area.

Top of the list is probally new S-Class Mercedes, new 7 Series BMWs. Theyre not nearly as fast as they should be. Hopefully this list can grow in the future A guy on my street has one of em McLarren F1's, but I dont know him unfortunatly.

Got to ride in a RR Silver Shadow. Delightful car for it's purpose.

Would rather get in my Mustang, though.

2005 Ford GT was the nicest for me. 0-60 in the 3 second range is a rush

Mercedes S class. Not the fastest, not the most fun, but the nicest with the possible exception of a Jaguar XJ-8.

If it riding in, I have to say, a 2004 Lamborghini Murcielago @ 170 MPH around Pocono Speedway takes the cake. That same afternoon, I also rode in a Gallardo. That hit 165 MPH on the front stretch. The driver was Lamborghini's factory test driver. Man could he drive. Had the car doing powerslides around the infield road course section of the raceway. Well worth the $100 donation I gave.

When it comes to driving, hands down, it has to be the new Ford GT . I still am totally amazed at just how much power and torque that car generates, with such a small press of the gas pedal. THe speed is just plain SICK!! Plus the shifter is the sweetest one I have ever used. I'll never forget driving it. Especially all the stares, and thumbs up, that people did. If I had the winning lottery ticket today, the GT in the showroom where I work, would be mine.

The Ford Gt pictured here. Our dealership wanted some nice pictures for the website so I had to take it off-site to do a photo shoot.
Sometimes I have to do stuff above and beyond the call of duty.

I deeply miss my Acura Legend Coupes. 1991 and 1992 LSs..both stolen/totalled out.

Drove an NSX, that was very nice. I used to work for Mercedes so got to drive the S-class, CL-class, and SL500s; they were nice too. 7-series BMW drove well too as with the high end Lexus'.

But in terms of flat out enjoyment, my '05 Mustang GT. ..followed by a very close 2nd my Legend Coupes..

ALso the F-4 I was forced to take a back seat ride in during my Navy days.
Was at Patuxent River Naval Test Center which at the time was the home of the Naval Test Pilot School. I worked in Air Traffic Control and one of the bene's was that we got to experience things form the pilots point of view to help us do our job better. We took off and headed out into our restricted airspace. The pilot literally put it on its tail and we went straight up to 50,000 feet. What a rush!

Nicest car..... probably the Astin Martin DB7 Vantage vert some rich guy I had never met before let me drive. Seriously hung over/drunk and he just tossed me the keys and said have fun. Probably didnt want me drooling down the windows like I was at the time. Told me to take it on the road, I didnt, just drove it around his mansion ducking onto the grass every now and again, guy was crazy, well more money than sense i guess. Driven Porsche and Ferrari, Bugatti etc but only on car parks. Stick with my Mustang, best of all worlds, looks sweet drives gentle until I want to unleash its fury.
