After deciding whether it was the sensation of speed or power that was more important, I decided that speed wins. No point having 800kW if it's wrapped in 5 tons of something, is there? Acceleration that blurs your brain is what we're after here, and if you drove a Lamborghini Murcielago from one side of the road to the other, it doesn't count. You need to have booted it and perhaps got a little bit frightened... :hihi:
(no motorcycles either!) My top 3: Mercedes-Benz 600SEL, just out of Frankfurt on the autobahn - the way it piled it on from the slip-road was just surreal. Wasn't really scared until I realised just how fast we were going... Toyota Levin coupe*, a back-road in Norfolk - my first experience of a rev limiter and I was howling with delight at its short gearing and rapsy engine note... Caterham Super 7 2000 HPC, another back-road in Norfolk - actually hurt my kidneys and made me scream. What's worse is that I know that there are faster versions. Totally insane, and I will always want one... * I still don't know what it was... some sort of early 1990s 2-door Corolla import, 1.8 four-pot, supercharged, tuned on top of that and mighty quick!
