I voted for Twisty Tarmac! Cant beat the sound of screaming tyres and the smell of burning rubber

Depends on my mood.
Loose stuff is fun because it's easy to get sideways, plus the consequences aren't as bad (you're travelling at lower speeds).
Tarmac is enjoyable too though because it's more predictable.
But at the end of the day, any twisties of any surface will make me happy.

I voted "Twisty Tarmac" - relating to places like the old PAC, Bobbin Head, the Gorge and the like...

I like the loose slippery stuff, nothing like heading around a corner with the back end hanging out and wheels spinning the whole way, i feel it requires more skill as you really have to know what the car is doing and have super quick reflexes to bring the car back into control when it hangs out a bit to much.
So yeah Dirt,Mud,Gravel and anything slippery is what gets my adrenaline pumping

Actually, I reckon it takes more reflexes on tarmac. The faster speeds means that you have to be fast to catch anything.
Dirt requires more car control, but you have (relatively) plenty of time to fix mistakes.

I vote twisty tarmac because I love to drive the Supra through it!
But I admit I live near dirt roads, grew up driving them and still feel the need to take the 2lt Sigma Wagon thru the dirt! (but I selling that so no dirt car).
I miss my Datsun in that respect, and I'd never take the Supra on the dirt coz though it would be fun if I pranged it I'd never forgive myself.
there is just something about handbrake turns, truly sideways cornering and old cars.....

Quoting top speeds is fine, but accidents rarely happen when you're going in a straight line...

but they do when you hit the end of that straight where you have to try as hard as possible to slow the car down for that tight corner thats covered in loose rocky dirt and trying not to get the car to loose it during the breaking unlike on the road where braking is as easy as pushing the pedal in on the dirt at high speeds trying to slow down the car wants to pull left and right and it takes a lot longer to stop. and if the car isn't travelling dead straight and you jump on the breaks the back of the car will try and overtake the front

well, I put down for twisty tarmac, but I'm with max ... anything twisty is for me. My car may be slow and all, but I love to throw it around the corners, and do it rather well

How about a drift option?
Would that be twisty tarmac or loose dirt/gravel.
I reckon drift is a class of it's own, and that's definitely what I'd prefer to be doing.

I'm the other guy that voted long straight stuff.
I prefer acceleration and revving out the 5sfe. 
Yes, I can redline an auto. 
Plus in the long run, I prefer the easy enjoyment of driving and cruising, (it helps having the nice handling and ride my car has), and there is nothing like a nice straight to accomplish that.

Put me down for fast twisty tarmac with a few of the corners "watered down" if you catch my 'drift'!!!
