Yeah I love that old caddy convertible, but I wouldn't call it sporty.  

The sportiest cars I've ever driven are:

I'm not a motorcycle guy.  My absolute favorite cousin was killed on one when I was about 13, and I've pretty much hated them ever since.

I'm ok with dirt bikes on private property, but I'll never be into motorcycles on public roads/highways.

This 1987 bike and the 2024 corvette have about the same times in the 0-60 and standing 1/4 mile

Sorry to hear that.

I would never consider riding a bike down here. My friends down the street (also from the Chicago area) came down with their HD's and sold them within 6 months.

People suck at driving here.

If I bought a sportbike again, the first thing I would do is remove anything and everything that's needed to make it street legal that is unnecessary on a racetrack. 

You can still hurt yourself on a racetrack--obv, I high-sided the first one at 75 mph--but it's a lot harder and definitely rare. I walked away from that fairly violent crash with a couple bumps and bruises and a slight sprain to my knee. The lack of oncoming traffic, wearing full safety gear, and having the necessary runoff areas in case of crashes makes riding at 10/10ths on the racetrack IMHO safer than riding normally on public roads. 

But I miss it. There's not much in life to which I can compare the feeling of a riding the hell out of a bike on a racetrack.

My sportiest was probably a boat.

Or one of these two, I guess?






I regret the 928. Damn Risky Business car. 

The 944 Turbo (top) was a lot of fun to drive.

The sportiest car I ever owned was the GTI.  The CTS was about as fast but of course quite a bit larger and with the automatic.  The '73 Nova was a bit sporty for the time (1973), but slow by today's standards.

I never liked the body styles of the 928/924/944 series.  Maybe if they had been some other brand, but I never wanted a front engine hatchbacky Porsche.

My favorite Porsche of all time is still probably this one:
