Best compliment you've ever gotten on your car?? We've all gotten compliments on our cars. What's the best compliment you've ever gotten?
For me, it was actually an irrate track official at Etown screaming his head off at me, accusing me of running nitrous and not telling them at the Tech line when going through.
I clicked off an "unliscenced" 9.6 at a QTP event when I first got the 441, first pass of the day, they blocked off the return road and gave me ****, then later got more **** in the pits. All the guys were there, it was hilarious.
Took it as a compliment though. Running N/A and being accused of running nitrous-none better than that for me. 
I've gotten plenty other compliments, including the GMHTP article which was a HUGE compliment for me but that QTP race was tops.
How 'bout you guys/gals? what's the compliment that stands out the most for you?

i dont give a **** about drag racing. its not the car thats going fast. its your wallet. my greatest compliments come on her looks and handling at autoxs and track days. ive surprised more then a few people with how she handles. ive also had many people, including the owner of a brand new $40K lotus say he cant believe how mint she is, especially when parked next to the dirty race-only cars.

Best compliment I got was on my 2000 FRC that had a stock cube MS3 cammed, PRC heads,intake etc and full exhaust. I pull into a parking lot just idling along and this older gentleman standing with his old mustang says "sounds like a finely tuned watch". I said thanks and thought about it thinking about the guy holding his old style pocket watch. It was pretty kewl.

Most all of my buddys are truck guys so they all think its incredibly fast even though its not, also got a lot of compliments from another member when I drove past him recently (if only he would have seen it closer he never would have said that)

When I had my SOM Z28, we did a photoshoot with a bunch of local Fbody guys with a model. Well she had no ride home, so I of course obliged. Now mind you, this was just a lid/filter/catback car. I pulled out on the street and I laid into it through the top of 3rd gear. As I was hitting gears I looked over and saw her sinking down into the seat with a big grin forming on her face.
When we slowed down for the next light, she says... wow, that was fun. I told her it was almost stock and she said something along the lines of "well all my guy friends drive Hondas and I thought those were fast... your car would kill them all" lol. There may or may not have been a snail trail on the leather when she got out.
Picture of said female from that photoshoot...
