Corvette Z06.

I have a GM engineer who lives down the street and brings home a new car about every 3-5 weeks.

The car has ungodly amounts of torque.

2003 SVT cobra, 485whp
2004 EVO 8, 440whp
2006 G35c, 435whp
2004 350z, 425whp
2004 350z, 396whp

the fastest was the evo, but my friend still managed to run a 19s 1/4 mile at Maryland International Raceway after a terrible launch.

1969 Stingray Corvette w/ 454 big block...coolest car ever.

Actually wait, I was just a passenger. Most powerful vehicle I ever drove was my old 57 chevy pickup, with a 383 stroker. Unfortunately it was too heavy and had a 3-speed auto and the rear gear ratio was way too tall. But it was powerful and make a nice sound!

Highly modded 87 GN. Not sure what the power was, but I will say this. My sti even with stage 1 can't even remotely come close to that that car ina straight line. Total an utter embarassment. It's like stock STi vs stock corolla. We're talking back in like 1991, Too long to remember accurately. , but I do know he put thousands into exhaust and intake mods. What a BEAST.

I drove an 05 GTO, that baby felt pretty mighty on highway. Oh, and I did drive 260whp 88 mr2 supercharged back in the early 90s my vcollege buddy built up. May have not been the fastest I've driven, but with that size and light weight, it sure as hell felt the fastest of them all. What a little monster that thing was. PHEW. Kind of scary actually. I'll never forget it. I almost bought one because of that.

My boat, 36' Trojan Tricabin. It had twin Chrysler Marine 440ci engines for a total of 560 horsepower. Gas milage was about .8 mpg. Go-Fast boats (eg Cigarette boats) may have 2 800 hp engines.

Vehicle: M2A2 Bradley SFV - 600hp Diesel. But it was more 'powerful' than that...due to 25mm Bushmaster, TOW launcher, and a combat load of STINGER missiles in the back :D (Course, the STINGER guys mostly slept until called upon to shoot somethin' down)

Car: 89 Mustang GT, 500+hp
