Not the fastest I have ever been but a very cool ride. A customer of mine, a former rally driver, took me for a short trip and showed me what it could do on an on and off ramp. I was then asked if I wanted to drive. I said no - I'm an idiot.

fastest car i've ridden in was my fathers friend's HEAVILY modified miata. he took me through the turns and had me grabbing for the door.The thing was just barely street legal.

Fastest ive driven was my old bmw 325i convertible. had it going 145 on the freeway.

I did a 148 mph average around Daytona at the Petty Nascar driver wanna-be school. I don't know how fast that makes me going down the straights. Seemed like I was going 200 lol!! I also did a hot lap ride a long that was WAYYYYY faster.

Did you go over 60, and into second gear?? You wussy...:D:D:D

That weekend, not that race...

F430 spyder as a driver. No idea how fast... Whatever cutoff in 5th is

A "T-Bucket" with a 6-71 huffed; 427 full roller big block Chevy. Motor most likely made @ 750HP and weight was @1900 lbs - This was a street car by the way. One of the few times I was actually terrified in a car..................

Rider:
150mph in a Carrera GT at Mid-Ohio
242kph in a 964RSR at Mid-Ohio
150mph in a GT3 at VIR

Driver:
135mph in my 911 at Watkins Glen and VIR

The quickest car I've ever driven is my friend's 1968 Dodge Coronet. It makes about 700hp from a stroked 440 running a 6-71 blower. Best time in the 1/4 mile was mid-9's at over 140mph. Eerily similar to my Suzuki Hayabusa!

Techincally, the fastest car I've driven is my FIL's 996 turbo. Although I probably only hit about 80 in it. The fastest I've actually driven has been around 120 in my 911. The fastest I've ever gone was 140+-, as a passenger on my friends Ninja 900r.

Recently: 174mph (280 km/h) in my new to me 964 Coupe (yeah, its got a performance chip and breathes freely)

Regularly: 152mph (245 km/h) in my old 3.2 Carrera

Its getting tougher on the Autobahn all the time, even if you can find a stretch that's not under construction at 3 a.m. I will be at the Salzburgring on October 12th though. We'll see how the 964 does...

Everyone should have their own Mulsanne... (wait, if wishing big, may as well go for the gold)

Everyone needs their own Le Mans, Laguna Seca, Monza, Nurburgring, < insert favorite track here >!!

quickest was father in laws 327 t-bucket. scared the living **** out of me. i WANTED to get out of the car.

fastest i've driven was probably pushing 110 or so in a '70S a couple years ago.

not impressive, i know. i just don't have the desire to push BIG speed on public roads. too many bad things can happen to somebody besides myself.

+1. Good point.

Driven 110+ plus in a '90 vw corrado and have buried the 85 mph speedo in the 911 many times.

Ridden: LOTS of muscle cars in the 60's ~ 70's.

I've been told that the Bullitt Mustang is electronically limited to a top speed of 151. I don't think I'm going to test that. Besides, that's slower than a 1972 911S targa with the top off...:rolleyes:

The quickest for me was a 930 track car in Brisbane when I was visiting Fishcop. He had his RS replica on the track - which was fast and noisy!!! then a fellow club member was taking passengers for rides in his 930. Fun but my head was getting flung around from all the G-forces LOL lucky me :)

I remmember as a kid my uncle had a lotus esprit. It cornered fast and seemed quick, but at the time I thought a 1972 ford escort was fast.

Fastest car I have driven: 2007 Z06 Corvette; the torque is unbelievable.
Fastest car I have been a rider in: 1965 Plymouth Satellite, 383 cu in w/ torqueflite tranny. I was 15 years old and it scared the crap out of me. I'll never forget that ride.

Driven: Ferrari F355 Berlinetta

Hehe. Me too... Can't find many places to wind it out much farther than that...

Driven: E46 M3 or 987 Boxster S
Ridden: 997 C4S

Relatively unimpressive, I hope to improve upon it.

Close to 145 in a 911 SC (with about 9 psi of boost).
Felt like a gazillion.

I went well over 120 mph in a 914 a few times, that was at around 7 psi boost. Felt like 2 gazillion.

I did 130 in a stink-bugged 69 GTX when I was 17, used the entire freeway. The Dumass (me) is lucky to be alive after that stunt. It did not handle well at that speed.

I did over 145 in a blown gas flatbottom drag boat. Darned near dropped a duece in my suit every time.

I've gone over 150 in drag cars many times over the years, most were set up decent so it wasn't that big of a deal.

It's all relative. If the car is designed to do it, it's not that big of a deal. If it's not designed or set up to do it, it'll scare the crapoutaya.

Oh I forgot to add my "driven."

I've gone an indicated 135 in my SC, which is really about128.

And the automatic rev-cut out on my 1989 Chevy Beretta was at about 116. What an idiot.

Sat. I drove, very hard, a 360 Spider and a Nissan GTR. The sound of the Ferrari from the drivers seat is intoxicating. Beyond that it can't touch the GTR. The GTR is by far the fastest street car I have ever driven.

A Kirkham Cobra replica with a real 427 side oiler. I didn't max it out by any means, but spinning the tires ar 60 mph is definitely an eye opener.

In my turbo under full boost I am at "directly go to jail" speeds in 3rd gear. I have no clue how fast thatr car will go (factory claimed 186 mph I belive) but with all the engine work done, I don't think I ever want to find out.

Those are the top two.

Family friends V-12 Jaguar with my dad at the wheel early 70's

68 Corvette w 427 striped with nothing in it with the exception of a steering wheel and a 5 gal bucket and a seat belt that kept me on the bucket. Very scary thinking back on that.


The 930 is no slouch at the track.

Drove it, sick how fast with the paddle shifting.

Pure secks...

Drove a friend's near 400HP gen 2 MR2 Turbo a while back. Thing is redic. The block is stock, that is it. Motec ECU, huge turbo, water-air intercooler, the works. Launch control via the ECU. Mash the clutch and gas, drop the clutch, it works out the rest. Insane, and it hadn't been fully tuned yet. Running only 20 PSI of boost.

Also rode in a 10 second (with the slips to prove it to me) diesel truck once too. Some giant Dodge... the super super duty kind. Guy had all sortsa turbo diesel goodies. He mashed the gas, it made whoosing sounds, and we were doing 140MPH. Just like that. It felt odd because the truckwas so high off the ground, you really lost sensation of speed.

90 in a '59 AH Bugeye Sprite.

Flat-out in top gear up the straight away at Watkins Glen in my Zink Z10B. The motor was a little duff, so I'm guessing about 110-115 MPH (the gear charts aren't handy right now).

The other possibility was a Crossle 42S Sports 2000, the fastest that I drove it was flat-out in top gear just prior to the south banking at NHIS. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of me in the car, but this picture from the UK is pretty close, including the color.

The top speed in both cars would have most likely been about the same at each of those points

The fastest car I've driven is my brother's `07 Gt3 at 164 (track) at 164 - my own car (993) at 155 both on the highway and track

In an undisclosed location the Corrado found 120 yesterday.... Dont think I want anymore not on a very flat piece of pavement....
