I used to own a 97 Integra Type-R. That was one sweet car.

Best ride I got was in a Saleen Mustang at Road Atlanta when there was still a dip between 10 and 11. 145 at the dip after not being able to get on it until turn 8! (which is really more of a straight)

hahaha <- me laughing
actually I drove a really old porsche, don't even know the model that handled like a go cart. it was fun except that shifting into second required some trickery.

Depends on your definition of "best" I guess. My favorite was MY car, in it's pre-stolen-and-stripped state.

wait, they found your car?

Well, they found what's left of it.

My fav was my buddies '70 cuda 440 sixpack. The thing has 28K mi. on it. He paid $25K for it about six years ago. I saw the same car going for $45K the other day.

Same buddy brought a new vette over a couple of years ago that they let him take home for the night.

Best in terms of what?

In terms of best power, handling, steering feel, and ride quality, I have to go with the E39 BMW 540i.

Edit: The nicest / most expensive car I've driven is a Mercedes CL600. (YUCK)

The most entertaining car that I've ever driven was an '82 Corvette, but it probably wasn't the best car that I've ever driven.

That honor would probably go my '03 Audi A4. I test drove some other cool cars while I was looking for my new ride(Like the Subaru WRX, Jaguar X-Type, and BMW 325i), but the A4 was my favorite.

Now, the WORST car that I've ever driven was a rusted out 1982 Plymouth Reliant station wagon with holes in the floorboard. I'm curious if anyone can beat that :)

coolest car i've ever been in was a 70 SS Nova with 500hp... or a 87' GN ... I think the nova comes out on top though... fastest vehicle i've driven is a 2k2 Dodge Pickup...

Anyhow, I got a spin in a Ferrari Testarosa, didn't drive though.
The coolest car I actually drove was a Viper. Drove it around 3 blocks.

Best car I've driven?

02' Corvette Z06. Took it up to ~150... damn that car was better than sex.
01' Camaro Z28 - modded. Had some fun kicking the rear out.

I've driven a lot of cars, but those 2 were the most fun.

Fastest car I've driven was a '97 Corvette. The nicest car I've driven was a '00 E320 (had some fun in the snow with that one). Those are my two absolute favorites although my g/f's '02 Jetta 1.8T can be a good amount of fun too.

Rarest/most uncommon would be a 1988 Excalibur (VERY heavy and VERY slow) Looked like this.
My favorite was a 98 C5 Vette.

Once drove a chevy impala at 90mph in a 30 zone, while masturbating furiously....and people pulled over thinking i was a cop. Now THAT was an adrenaline rush.
