Show us the cars you will never forget

It may seem a little hyperbolic to say that driving a car has changed my life, but that the car occupies such an important place in my life, in all our lives, that driving a truly great car can be transcendent. Of course, it is not the same feeling as the day of your wedding or the day of the birth of your child, but it is a memory that sticks to your bones. There will certainly be an experience in the lives of all the enthusiasts they will never forget. I want to hear yours

A few years ago, while I was still a relatively new automotive writer, I had the opportunity to drive this 987-year-old Porsche Cayman on decent roads to the outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. I remember that it was a very hot and miserable day, if not. That day, however, completely changed my car life. It's the best car I've ever driven and I'll never forget what I felt.

There is a store in Las Vegas called Renegade Performance. They took Carroll Shelby's method to heart, incorporating one of the best American V8s into a lighter and more agile European chassis. This engine is a version of nearly 600 horsepower from the Chevrolet LS V8 and this chassis is Porsche's 987 Cayman. The combination worked as well as peanut butter / chocolate mashup in a Reese mug.

A Cayman is an exquisite chassis, but Porsche is continually abandoning it in favor of the 911 rear engine icon. This large chassis is never fully equipped with its factory. By putting 600 horsepower between the rear panels, Renegade has built an unbeatable Cayman. Handling is undisturbed because the all-aluminum LS engine does not weigh much more than a flat six-pack. It's the best of all worlds. You can make sure your sports car runs fast with your German sports car.

I will never forget this Cayman. What car was written in your memories with an indelible ink?
