Fastest car you've driven and ridden in?

[porsche4life]

Thinking about this today, Might make a good thread. What is the fastest car you have driven? What is the fastest car you have ridden in?

For the drive would be a chipped 951. The fastest I have ridden in is a 928GTS.

[88-diamondblue]

Ford GT have ridden in it at around 160 and driven at about 135. Considering top speed is over 200 didn't get too close to it.

Mine will be pretty tame compared to many in this group. I had my '88 911 targa up to redline in 5th gear which is 150mph. That covers both for me.

[Evans, Marv]

Ridden - 140 on the speedo of a '57 Covette. A long time ago.

I've driven my dad's long since gone 9 second rail dragster. Also drove my brother in laws 500hp sprint car. The fastest street car i've driven was this, also my dad's, and also gone:

Fastest been in and driven...a Twin turbo DeTomaso Pantera. Frightening.....

[Rick Lee]

When a guy from Ruf took me for a ride along in an RGT, I saw the speedo go hit 330 km/hr. when I opened my eyes briefly. And we weren't on a hwy.

[Heel n Toe]

Fastest car I've ever driven was probably this '87 N/A 944 I was looking at 3 or 4 years ago... the engine had been thoroughly massaged. I never really opened it up, so I can't give you a number.



Fastest car I've ever ridden in was probably my uncle's '66 427/435 Stingray convertible that he bought new when I was in high school. He never really opened it up when I was in it, so I can't give you a number.

Over 200 at Pocono on the IMSA course....

In our 935 clone...

I don't have any video from Pocono..

From Watkins Glen...I think 178 entering the inner loop... I would have to check the data

I've had A 2004 Carrera 4S up over 140 on a dealer test drive once.

The 924S up around 135-140 several times


Driven several single seat winged formula cars before, experiencing 2.5G+ lateral and longitudinal deceleration- there is nothing like that.


Also got to jump in a modified shifter cart in a parking lot once. One of the worst decisions of my life was to, in this parking lot- pull 5h gear. 6th gear went out to about 130. I nearly wrote it off.

That kart could do 0-60mph in about 2.7 seconds and could do 0-100mph-0 (zero to 100 back to 0) in about 8 seconds. That will be the fastest accelerating machine I will every drive unless I get some seat time in a F3000.

Ultima GTR:

You're at an off-ramp somewhere in South Carolina with this crazy German guy, and he says:

"OK. Now ve vill go to zee hundred and fiftee milez hour on the off ramp, and zen vee merge into zee traffic. Okay? Hold on."

And he wasn't exaggerating one bit, either.






Trade a ride in your 911 for concert tickets? (long)

I got my 02 2.7 Boxster over 130mph. Many years ago I had my fathers 1989 Ford SHO wide the F open, which would hypothetically be north of 140, but who knows?

[Geronimo '74]

Fastest I've driven, Ferrari 348, Porsche GT3RS
Shotgun: fastest acceleration Ariel Atom 300

[p911dad]

This 997 S Cab.

[fastfredracing]

I think the fastest I have ever ridden in was a RUF prepared 993 twin turbo. That thing would collapse your chest when it would accelerate. I have been north of 150 a handful of times , mostlyl in c4 corvettes. I had an 85, it was supposed to go 151.Never got past 146, but at the time, my landlord(he is serving time for 48 counts of grand grand theft auto right now, mostly corvettes, and big trucks) just bought a new 96 vette, and we used to take it out for midnight runs up the interstate all of the time, I think we got near 160. Had my 951 nearing the rev limiter in high gear a couple of times as well. I am a gearhead, and have always driven fast, consider myself a pretty capable driver, but to be honest, any time I have gone past say maybe 125, I was white knuckles, scared sheetless, and found my confidence shrinking rapidly. Have also driven/ owned a few high power muscle cars as well, while they may not have topped 125, hanging on to them on the way there was always a rush

My RX7, tips scales at 2500 lbs and puts 400 to the wheels. It scares the crap out of me on a regular basis. I actually detune it to 330 to the wheels for track days in fear I will kill myself with it.

Everyone told me my 3.6 swapped 1980 Targa was hella fast but I always felt like it was my slow car compared to the RX7. That car has warped my sense of what fast is.

An E46 M3 is probably the fastest car I've driven or ridden in. Great car, but not very impressive in this crowd.
