Default How many (different) cars have you tracked?

OK- to pick up on Cory's suggestion- how many different cars have you driven on track?
My really short list:
- 914 2.0 (stock)
- '82 911 SC
- Nissan 240SX ITS
- Nissan NX2000 ITS
- '83 944 ITS (RatDog)

Well, if "driving friend's cars" counts, then Ghetto Racer obviously wins right out of the gate.

Only if you ammend "friends'" to include, "unsuspecting victims'" cars...

Here's the cars I've owned & tracked:

1974 914 2.0
1984 911 Carrera
2003 Subaru WRX
2004 GT3

And my son's cars that I've driven on the track:

1989 951
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8


I'm not big on driving other people's cars on the track at my normal pace, but I did drive my friend's Corvette Z06 twice (WOW - amazing car).

964 Cab (stock) -Led to the track bug in a big way...
993- Current DE driver and former street machine.
964 Cup Car- Friend let me take it out for a session at the Glen last week. After asking me, and me refusing, numerous times I finally gave in. Didn't push it too hard but had a blast. The manual steering in the toe of the boot was something else. Thanks again Mike!

In orderstarting in 98 or so;

83 911SC Cab
97 993 Targa Tip
86 951
99 996
02 996
95 993

The 02 was by far the best and scariest if I'd have wrecked it because of the cost to repair and the speeds I was travelling in that car. One DE at Watkins Glen led to the purchase of the 95 993 as a track only vehicle.
