What's the FASTEST car you've ever driven?
Me 28 April 2005 22:33:34
	Today I drove a car that I swear was almost better than an orgasm! It was the guy who owns the company where I work's 54 Plate Jaguar XJR. I had to drop off his courtesy car (a Nissan Micra) and return this beauty after it had been to the garage for something or other. I have honestly in my life never known acceleration like it on ANY car I've ever driven previously, and I did once drive an old Sierra 4x4 Cossie, I mean you could be doing 70 in this thing barely touching the Gas and then floor it...Jesus! the thing moved like it was on fire, and I swear to god the traction control lamp was actually flashing! I only got to drive this car about 25 miles but I would sell my soul to own one! I know you can pick these up used at a fraction of their original value due to the heavy depreciation but god, the running costs of one of these must be absoulutely astronomical, oh well DREAM ON!!

	Well... Fastest car is probably the MTM RS4 - saw 180 and still pulling on the GPS, and thats with the nitrous disarmed... Not driven it hard myself though that was a passenger ride. Fastest I've driven is 160 indicated in my own volvo. Been driven in a 450bhp supra recently which is fast, not explored the Vmax. Had a 225 TT at the limiter too. -- "Excuse me, would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" "Would you rather silent but deadly?"

Heh. They were moving it anyway, and I was hanging around the garage looking bored. Right place/right time. The 550 was locked, and I bashed my head on a mystery device in the Testarossa. Being 80s, I like the idea of the Testarossa, but it was a little cramped. I saw a Celica GT4 parked outside the Elsi in Whitby on the last day, too! Looked nicer than I remembered them.

Probably the Prodrive tuned Impreza (0-60 wise) or the Merc 500SL (top speed) not that I drove them fast, I have only ever broken the ton on the roads (private roads) in three cars (biggest engine there was a 1.6).

Looked nicer than I remembered them.> There is 3 kinds. ST165, very boxy 4th generation Celica with popups ST185 (which I have). 5th gen with bonnet scoop on the normal models, and vent on the Carlos Sainz models with popup lights. ST205, last model, quad headlights, very curvy, a lot lighter with lots of Aluminium panels, and a bonnet vent like the Carlos Sainz 185s. Would love a 205, but prices are near twice what a 185 fetches for equal condition of each. -- Carl Robson "Sorry Sir the meatballs are orf" (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

Hit 140 when I wasnt driving Hopefully going up to Goodwood in June with a mate in his VX220 turbo, now sporting 242bhp which should be fairly swift. It'll be like my MR2 with twice the power The quickest thing I've experienced in terms of power to weight (and hence acceleration) would be on a bike. A Kawasaki Ninja - 130 on the wrong side of a less than smooth A road, totally mental. And also crusinig around the Isle of Wight with my Dad a few years ago on the back of a Bandit 1200, which almost broke my arms as I held on to the grab rails and was forced backwards when he decided to open the throttle up.

Fensport use a standard 205 box, transfer and rear diff with a top end clutch in their corrolla. They broke one rear diff launching, but it is 600+Horses there. I have heard of someone breaking the diff in a 185 with just about 300horses, but he did sidestep the cluch without taking up the slack first, so there was a massive shock through the system it isn't supposed to have. -- Carl Robson "Sorry Sir the meatballs are orf" (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

	The fatest I have ever driven a car was a ahem... Vauxhall Vectra hire car between Edinburgh & Falkirk, it was a 51 Plate 2.2LS with 3k on the clock, I had it up to 140 (on the clock) needless to say I didn't try to go round a corner very fast in it!

The new XJR, aluminium bodied, supercharged, blindingly bloody fast, is however one of the slowest depreciating Jags evr and gives the German cars a run for their money. 30% depreciation over three years is less than an M5 for example. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759

At the moment I'm running the P-Zeros that came on the car but all the word on several ALPINA forums is that nothing is as quiet, grippy and smooth riding as the Michelin Pilot Sports fitted by the factory. The car is stonking on P-Zeros but will be quieter, smoother and grippier for only ВЈ200/corner - bargain I reckon. A -- Trade Oil in
