The reason I said two is I know I will get a bunch of GT3 answers. What are the two most fun cars you've driven and why? My number one is the .2 GT3 because it was fun all the time at any speed, always felt special, which is why I am buying one. My second choice would be a Murci for it's insane straight line power. This should be a fun poll!

1997 911 Turbo
2004 Challenge Stradale
Both exceeded my expectations the most and were totally thrilling for me to drive.
The '65 21 window VW bus I got this year is totally fun to drive (for different reasons).
My 2011 458 Italia is the best car I've ever driven.

i have had 928s4, 914 2.2, 944, 911s and corvettes over my lifetime. Friends with ferraris, ie f40 f50 and a variety of of fantastic "sporty" cars.
The 964 is my favorite. A mix of past and present.

A 2004 gt3 which is why I want one so bad now... But the other 2 are my 03 Mitsu Evo 8 and now my 2010 Mitsu Evo X... Such great handling cars... Like them better than my GTR or Supra

Ford GT - loved seeing the original when I was a boy. Bought the 2005 model.
BMW 2002 tii - learned to drive a stick on this, my friends car, back when this 1972 model was new. But it may only be memories, so I'll also add;
Ferrari 430 Spider F1. Any great sports car with no top will be high on my list. And this is the best of any spider, cabriolet, convertible that I've driven.
Others that are eligible:
Porsche 997S Cab - love this car, own one and it's my DD. I always enjoy driving this guy and virtually always have the top down;
Lambo Gallardo - the V10 is a beast. It sounds amazing and drives pretty well. I didn't much like the AWD (although I drove a 2006 model and hear that the news ones drive a lot better);
Oh, and the CGT. It's really tied for first with the Ford. But no memories and I've never driven one. Sigh...

700+ HP Ford GT: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Instant throttle response, sexy as hell to look at. The complete package.
GT3: Not overpowering, just so balanced.
*Carrera GT: Didn't actually drive it personally, but went for a "spirited ride" with Craig Stanton driving at California Speedway. It was humbling...

Ariel Atom 300. Insanity on wheels. Held back by poor build quality and cheap parts. Mechanical suspension failure almost killed me.
SL65. Heavy as a pickup truck and handles like a barge. Tuned with over 800 ft/lbs of tq will make you giggle every time though...and burn through rear tires every 3k miles.
Still getting used to the GT3, so can't rate it yet.

Abarth!?
Wow, that sounds awesome! I didn't realize Abarth built a Carrera...that's cool.
For me, the answer is DEFINITELY the .1 GT3 RS I had the pleasure of taking around Lightning course (wow, the lightbulb turn throttle on, fourth gear at 110...) and my friend's LP560 I got to drive when my partner and i were doing the Ventureshield clearbra install on it...that is ONE fast machine, although I will ALWAYS be true to the manual trannie

An Abarth Carrera back in 1962, just a wonderful experience, it was like you were inside a thrashing machine, you could hear every gear turning and every valve opening. The car was light and agile, my life took on a whole new meaning from that day on! The second would have to be my current SW 3.9 and a close third would be my old 500HP 1986 930!! Now that was a real challenge on the loop!!!
