RX8 is the fastest car I've ever owned.
Driven: Three different Ruf-modified 911's, Viper GTS, GNX, 2nd-gen M3, modded 944 Turbo, Cobra replica w/427, and an assortment of Italian exotics that I never drove over 60mph or so (in parking lots!). Fastest and most terrifying RIDE I ever had was in a late-80's vintage Camry taxicab in Montreal... Driver was obviously the reincarnation of Gilles Villeneuve.

Also had 3 Mitsu GTO tts, one at 450 bhp very quick, but couldnt match the TVR.
Also had Supra, 300zx TT. Merc CLK Cab. Porsche 911.

I've ridden in the following:
1963 406 Ford Galaxie 500
1963 427 Ford Galaxie 500 (fastback)
1968 428 Ford Mustang CobraJet (I think it was a '68)
1963 426 Dodge (wedge engine, not the hemi)
Interestingly, I don't think any of these cars were faster or quicker than the RX-8, and certainly, none handled or stopped like the 8.
Beyond that, the fasted piston engined vehicle I've ever ridden in (flown in, actually) is a Lancair IV-P, powered by a twin-turbo 350 HP engine. With an empty weight of approximately 2100 lbs. the acceleration at takeoff is very impressive, not to mention a cruising speed of well over 300 MPH. And it can carry 4 people!
