I've driven my aunt's '06 ZO6 - didnt really get a chance to get on it like that though.
That blower sounds sick!

Mercedes AMG. 500hp total luxury.
-
Its a tie-Ferrari F-40, back when they were new. never got it over 50, but at 202mph top speed, the fastest production car of the time.
96 viper coupe - topped at 90 but again, 202mph top speed.
Fastest I've driven? 160 in an old, beat up Datsun 280zx. scary..........!

The fastest was a Ferrari Testarossa!

Back in the 80's a friend of mine bought one (gray market euro car) and we went out and did some passes at the local I-80 clover leaf. This thing was fun.
The quickest thing I ever drove was my Kawasaki H2 750cc 2 stroke.

It would make a 1/4 mile pass so quick you couldn't hold onto it. I modded it extensively. I cut everything off of it that didn't make it go fast put expansion chambers on it and wiesco pistons, ported and polished the intake and exhaust. I sold it after flipping it on a launch. Damn thing almost killed me. My brother had the H1 500cc that one was even crazier. The power band was insane, when you hit 4K RPM it would jump to 12K almost instantly.
They wouldn't stop or turn or handle worth a damn but they would fly in a strait line.

rouche mustang my cuz had. It was built like a beast. I forget how much boost it was on but I remember him saying on the 150 shot it was 600-800 hp. Haha the tires were so wide and it still would smoke em all day. Thing was quick. When he took me out for a pass the last time I looked the speedo read 160ish. Pretty sure that day I shit myself.
He picked up so much ass in that car but it only got like 10 mpg lol. Well worth it haha.
I wish I could get a chance to ride in a real sports car. But most of my friends are dsm junkies. So the closest I got was the stang. Second had to have been my buddies beast talon. The launches were insane. I would love to take a ride in a supra. I've gotten to drive the older turbo ones.

1968 Olds Delta 88. Highly modified 455 :D Built the crap outta it, had plans to supercharge it but it all when south when I went to drag race :( . It was a grand way to blow the motor though haha, the thing was a massive low end torque monster. With slicks on it, it did wheelies. Fastest I had it goin on a 1/4 mile was 12.9 seconds at 145mph. It would have been able to get alot better times if I didnt still have the stock rear end with a fairly weak gearing. I miss that car.
-
I beat my friends Stage 1 455 skylark in a street drag with it. Ask Noah about the Skylark. It's sweet!

Webster says the definition of Insane is: 1. not ane' not of sound mind; mentally deranged. 2. characteristic of a person who is mentally deranged: insane actions; ie...driving a ford festiva 155mph. 3. set apart for the care and confinement of mentally deranged persons: insane asylum. 4. utterly senseless; an insane attempt [> L 1. lunatic, crazed, crazy; maniacal. See mad. 4. foolish, irrational. <]

My 09 Mini Cooper S tops out at 142mph. That is flipping fast in a Festiva.
I'm jealous of the Ferrari driver. The noise Ferrari makes is just nuts.
-
ill try to get a video of the speedo buried and the tach bouncing at 7200 once i get my chipped ecu.... its not that crazy...my tires are rated at 130... not like im cruising at those speeds... just pulling til rev limiter than returning to a nice and easy 70ish
-
fasting thing i drove in was my causin Paul Lee's 67 mustang, she will do 10.1 off the bottle left my whole insides on the street somewhere in Mississippi when i was in it
-
There was a Navy guy while in Japan that had a R33 Nissan Skyline that was modified by Bee Racing in Tokyo Dyno'ed 1000HP and the fool almost drove it daily...
It was sick giving it gas....
-
I'm going with a Mustang. 1991 with a BIG smallblock, say 1100HP on the bottle. Though, I don't own the car.
-
I did 120 in my 240Z, 130 in my A4, 120 in my A4 cab and 135 in the AMG Benz. The germans know how to make a car go real fast without any drama. 120 in the 240Z was a white knuckle affair as I was driving across Newfoundland and I was hydroplaning on dry pavement because of the high winds. Almost had to clean my britches. I would of been able to go faster in the Benz, but the owner was a little pissed I went that fast with him in the car. I am getting a little to old anymore for that kind of speed.

well, speed definitely is my weakness(too much of it that is!)and it is exciting in different ways depending on the type of vehicle.On 4 wheels the fastest i have driven was my 72 olds, which ran a 12 second 1/4 mile @125 mph and i white knuckled it to 152 mph for top end. On 2 wheels i would say the 78 kz1000 was the scariest adrenilin rush at 165 mph(never had enough time to look down for 1/4 time. For both largest and fastest thing on water I co-drove a 40' cat with twin supercharged 502 blackhawks and surfacing drives(2500 hp) @ 120 mph. Sounded like a jet and was scary to see something as big as a small house hit 60 in the 5 second range. I would have to say the most exciting ride(and addictive) was my 1998 yamaha gp1200 that I raced for 4 years. It wasnt the fastest top speed but when you take into account that it only weighed in @ 570# and had been massaged up to 210 hp, it was incredibly fun. It would hit 60 in 4 seconds and top out at 72 mph, but it could also make a nearly 90 degree turn at that speed as well! It would straighten out your fingers and make you lightheaded at the same time from all the g force it exerted on you! Like I said, I do have a predisposition for challenging the limits of machines for speed. My family has reminded me that I do need to survive to live another day but I am sneaking my old favorite back into the stable and tinkering on my capri! Long live speed!
-
130ish in my 88 tbird, 120ish in my capri, 120ish in my festiva.
Id rather find a decent closed course nowadays to try topend. The trouble you can get in doing it on the road is not really worth it.
-
that is unfortunately true as my young driving record proves. that is also why i turned my attention to water for awhile, where speed limits for the most part did not exist, but common sense still is important. I tried to do everything right but one day I was minding my own business flying across the lake on glass when to my suprise my ski turned into a submarine at 65 mph. Did I mention my last speed record was flying 200 ft @ 60 mph or so on my my belly like a skipping stone. I guess from shore it looked like my craft exploded and they saw me fly through the air with a jet ski tumbling end over end following me. Scared my wife and 6 kids bad and i woke up face up in the water laughing and the rescue boat along side me. It was fun trying to hammer nails at work with my whole body sore from basically beating myself with my own arms and legs when i tumbled. Although water is softer than blacktop it sure smarts if you hit it hard enough! Oh, did I mention I still like speed?
-
oh i forgot to mention what caused my wreck! a ice fishing crib that had been weighted down broke loose and floated to the surface where the but end of a log just below the water caved the front of my hull. I had ran that stretch a million times over 12 years and never had such a experience! go figure!
-
Back in my mid 20's when I was fresh out of college, I had a 91 Jaguar XJS with a V12. That thing would go down the interstate at 140 and feel like you were doing half that. It had the smoothest suspension. Not fast in like a 1/4 mile sense, but had a lot of top end speed. Man, I miss that car.
-
120 trying to catch up to my friends on I4. In an 87 MR2.
-
Can't remember the fastest, but the scariest was some funky Beamer like a 633CSi or something at 140 on very hilly country roads. Never knew if a bailer or something was over the next hump. Always had to stay in the middle not to go off. Stupid kid-was working at a friends ranch.
-
The fastest thing I have driven now is my new car.
Holy balls, I love it.

I have a 2002 Camaro SS that I've taken to 135 or so a couple of times. She tops out at 160+, and one day I hope to find out exactly how fast she'll go. I don't think I've driven any cars that can go faster than that...

My dads friend has a 2008 Bugatti Veyron. i never got it past 25. I was riding my motorcycle down the freeway to work on am and saw this black and red blurr go by. Being in the car business i called my father to tell him about the expierence since i was doin well over a 100 and this thing went by. Well long story short he was in that car that particular am. He txted me a pix, cause i didnt beleive him. But anyways the fastest was 185mph, on I696( michigan's faveroit raceway) 1997 Jaguar xj220. I aslo work at a Ferrari dealer now, so if anyone is looking let me know
-
Bobby, I would not be able to get in a Veyron unless I was wearing some depends. You are very lucky to have not only riden in one but to drive one.
That is a car that most people will only see pictures of, along with the awesome Xj220 (one car if I won the lottery would be in my garage).
Have your dad's friend bring the Veyron to the 10th annual gathering, and we would have the biggest attendence ever, maybe we could auction off a ride with proceeds going to charity (no not the stripper I know). ha ha ha
