Best: Audi R8 5.2 V10 Plus
I have never sat in a car with an interior that was better than this one. From the thick, supporting, quilted seats, to the surprisingly high amount of visibility, (except for the rear) and the white & red accenting all over, it was a remarkable experience. Not to mention that running through the gears felt like sex. The only thing that was surprising to me is how cheap the carbon fiber blades felt to the touch. They feel like plastic. That doesnt matter though, because It looked just like this one:
Best: 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo
I grew up in the 2000's (born in the late 90's), and EVERY SINGLE RAP VIDEO had a lamborghini gallardo. It has always been my ALL TIME FAVORITE CAR. i had still never seen one in real life until this summer. The sheer emotions that go through your body & mind when you see this car up close, touch it, enter it, and become acquainted with it cannot be described in words. The only thing i remotely dislike was that since this car is from 2005, the interior isnt fancy at all, and is rather plain, although the leather was thicker than a porterhouse steak. To date, this is my favorite automotive experience.
Best: 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51
I have been following this car ever since the jalopnik articles leaked pictures in late 2012, and when i first saw one in the dealership today i was pleased. IMHO it is the best looking car on the road today (yes i have seen the F-TYPE in person), and until you see one in person & up close, you cant appreciate it's beauty. Its the best looking american car since the 1963 corvette split-window coupe, and i liked the interior in the corvette more than i liked the interior in the gallardo
WORST:
The only WORST is the fact that i still havent gotten my driver's permit, even though I turned 16 in March :(

Let's be upfront. Maybe I shouldn't be saying this too loud, but I'm 20 and I don't have a driver's licence, nor a rider's one. Yet that hasn't prevented me from y'know, commanding four-wheeled motor vehicles.

Dont feel tooo bad, I have friends that waited until they were 26! And i think we all have commanded four-wheeled motor vehicles in our drive way, or an abandoned parking lot. (Thats obviously what you are talking about....wink wink....)

You do know that carbon fiber is reinforced plastic, right? It's supposed to feel like plastic.

Not trying to single you out or anything, but carbon fiber is as popular as it is misunderstood. Maybe I'll do a write up here this week to explain more thoroughly

The carbon fibers themselves are rather difficult to make.
Carbon fiber itself is made of strands of carbon that are laid out in strips called tows. These toes can (and often are) woven into a mat. It feels like cloth before it's impregnated with resin
You take the cloth and lay it on a tool then spread a resin into it, usually an epoxy based resin. When it hardens the resin acts as a matrix holding the carbon fibers together. That's why it's a composite: it's carbon and plastic.
Fiberglass is the same exact thing only with glass fibers instead of carbon. Kevlar is another example
