Whats The Fastest Car You've Had?
 

uk TVR CERBERA 4.2 V8
185MPH 0>60 4.2 SECS

So what's yours????? :Eyecrazy:

Owned or driven in?

Since when is zero greater than sixty? This must be some sort of Russian math.

Crossfire!

Owned:
1.1990 RX-7 Turbo II, Highly modified 450whp, just flat out amazing,
2. 2003 Evo, slightly modified. apx. 320hp, best handling

Driven,
NASCAR Winston Cup Car, @ Atlanta and Talladega

My 2006 RX-8. :) Fastest car I've owned. Only car I've owned. :)

I got to drive a Ferrari that was in a government impound lot, though. That was pretty cool.

owned:
93 RX-7

Driven:
959, 911TT, CGT Porsche all modded too, best friend works in a Porsche specialty shop.

that's not the car you wrecked at work is it? :mdrmed:

Nope. I totalled a BMW on a track on my job interview. :eek:

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. :)

TVR I had for 6months very very scary car. Certainly a serious car!!!

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.

Owned: 2004 STi
Driven: Modded 1993 RX-7

This does not constitute RX-8 Discussion.

Rx8

hahahahaha!

1977 Monte Carlo with a 405, whitewall tires and an in-dash 8-track player.

That was one sweet, fast pimpmobile.

505hp Shelby Cobra

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!

1.3L

- My friend's 1967 Corvette drag car with a full-race setup, blower, the whole 9 yards. He let me drive a run in it for fun - he turns 9.87 second quarter miles - he turned the boost down on the blower to almost nothing, set the progressive clutches for me, and let me motor off - even "detuned" to keep me from killing myself I ran a 1/4 mile in the upper 10's - freaking amazing car.

v8 fiero!!!
