#19 Crazy Things I Would Love To Do 

DRIVE A HIGH SPEED CAR FOR FUN 

In my quest for a daring adventure, I nurtured a desire to experience driving a high speed car. It was indeed a peculiar interest at that time since I don’t even own a car and did not know yet how to drive. Nonetheless, I considered that it was rather a rare opportunity to drive a car at a minimum speed of 150 miles per hour just for fun. In my delightful moment of fantasizing, I succeeded  crafting a wishful thinking that I referred to as my ----------------------------------

DREAM ADRENALINE RUSH OF MY LIFE!

Driving a car in high speed remains to be one of my crazy ideas even today. I still have that strong yearning to experience the thrills of taking the command of the wheel, driving with much power and speed… awesome and beyond description! Because of this, I want to elevate it as one of the “Things that I would love to do”--- in this sense, I would exert extra efforts to do it within the near future. 
For my high speed driving experience, I had selected six (6) of the high speed cars available today (information available in their respective websites were used as references to their descriptions). Any of these six cars will quench my thirst for high speed, adrenaline rush experience.

The Porsche 911 produced by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany is a luxury 2-door sports coupe. It came in the 5th position in the 1999 international poll for the award of Car of the Century. 911 is pronounced as Nine Eleven, in German: Neunelfer. Accordingly, it is one of the oldest sports coupe nameplates still in production. The model that I am particularly interested is the GT3.

The Jaguar XK series (XK, XK8 and XKR) is manufactured by British company, Jaguar since 1996. It is a series of grand tourer cars, available in a coupe and convertible. The XK8 was the first 8-cylinder vehicle produced by Jaguar, when the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine was introduced.The new XK launched in 2006 was the second generation in the XK series. The second generation XK introduced an aluminium monocoque bodyshell, and is available both as a two-door coupé and two-door cabriolet/convertible, with just the engine and associated mechanicals being carried forwarded.

2012 CTS-V Sedan at 556 horsepower is the world’s fastest production sedan with 0-60 in a blistering 3.9 second. Complementing the epic power is a high-performance chassis fitted with the dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control suspension—tuned and perfected on Germany’s notorious Nürburgring racetrack—that reacts to changing demands in less time than the blink of an eye in both Touring and Track modes. Bringing it all to a halt is the massive stopping power of 6-piston front, 4-piston rear Brembo® brakes.

The Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 is hand-built at GM’s Performance Build Center. It is powered by a 7.0 Liter V8 engine. Z06 offers available Michelin PS Cup tires, an available carbon fiber domed hood and Magnetic Selective Ride Control with Performance Traction Management (PTM).

AUDI R8 is a rare and exclusive supercar with high-design, captivating refinement and a heritage of racing dominance. With a mid-mounted V8 or V10 engine, quattro(R) all-wheel drive and an aluminum and magnesium Audi Space Frame (ASF), the R8 coupe offers handling and balance worthy of any race track.
The Nissan GT-R, formerly known as Skyline is a Japanese made car. It was awarded as the 2009 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
