Fastest i've gone is probably around 170 km/h.... most powerful car i've been in is a Bently Continental GT

I've also been in an LS2 GTO for a good rip.

Same here.

I guess after that would have been dad's 911 Carrera, it was red so it went faster than other Porches. :P

My Aunties MR2, I don't know what the top speed in it was, I never pushed it too hard, but damn that was a fast and fun little car to drive.

Damn my family for being a bunch of car lovers, I never stood a chance with one side being English and the other being German.

Lets see, the fastest car I’ve ever driven would be my old LC Torana. It had a wild 1300cc 4cyl engine that produced around 7500 hp and was good for about 320 kph in fourth gear. I can still remember the day I hosed an F40 Farrari because he just didn’t have the grunt to keep up.

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

What engine do they have, i seen one at a servo once and the rear tyres are like 12'' wide and a muffled rumble hinding beneath.

big_pete · 08-06-2005, 11:37 AM

The fastest car ive driven would have to be um.....crap i havent really driven that many 'fast cars'
my dads XY went pretty good on the highway but it was exceptionally fast or anything

the fastest car ive been in was my uncles RX2 Turbo'd Rotary, that thing had so much exceleration and good top end speed, the power was amazing!!

The speedo goes to 320km/h however the top speed is just a smige over 300 in 6th gear. Some later models were speed limited for safety to 180 km/h :(

dansedgli · 08-06-2005, 12:13 PM

And that is a standard one !!!

My car needs a 6 speed.

GOD DAMN!!!! Mmmm Supra.

Steffo · 08-06-2005, 12:25 PM

For saftey? As far as I know, there's a mandate in Japan for all locally produced cars to be limited to 180km/h.

Simmo · 08-06-2005, 01:28 PM

fastest speed would be my car, fastest accel would be Bish's xy gt rep with the 351. that thing was nuts fun. or mebbe my friends series 4 rx7. as soon as it got on boost it just went sideways up the road. crazy.

i havent driven anything meaty. people dont seem to want to let me. :(

yeap!..as I said, for reasons of 'safety'..lol There are also only 206kW which is funny because mines over 260kW.

MITCHAY · 08-06-2005, 02:05 PM

Yer and you can remove the safety aswell. Im pretty sure all these imports have been limited to 180km/h from the factory and just get it removed later on.

The Mighty Red · 08-06-2005, 08:40 PM

yeah the very supt xc clevo i had when i was younger was pretty lethal good for mid 12s, half my pay packet back then went of fuel to get me to work lol, but it was heaps of fun a few of my mates thought it was a pretty scary ride,

xyute · 08-06-2005, 11:26 PM

And we all believe the speedo dont we

One Drone · 09-06-2005, 12:45 AM

Dad's 2004 911 Carerra and I was still (am) on my Green P's just before I came to China. Bloody tops. I'll have to have one in a few years.

The MaDDeSTMaN · 09-06-2005, 11:36 AM

I can't say I've driven anything anywhere near as fast as some of you have.

In fact, I could use my fingers to count up all the cars I've ever driven, and I doubt I'd run out of fingers to count with, LOL!

But, out of all the cars I have driven, the fastest so far would be my car - only a manual 2L Mk II Escort, but I know it's capable of more then 180km/h when it's taken on a private road...

To put it in perspective (yes, I know some people are probably already laughing, haha), other cars I've driven were an auto V8 EF Fairmont (I was not impressed with that, my Escort easily went harder, but maybe this one was just in need of some TLC), an auto EB GLi (which goes harder then the V8 EF Fairmont), and well, nothing else really worth mentioning.

If anybody offers me a drive in a faster car, I'm not going to say no... :hihi: (Can't blame me for trying)

Discovery · 09-06-2005, 01:44 PM

Fastest, high 8 second Falcon ute (drag car)

Have also driven the new US GT (GT40) don't know the speed on that one, but I only went slow. Ummm.. lots of others that are fast too, but once again, I only drove them slowly. Have been taken for a fang in the Hillier Arrow coupe also, cool car!

MITCHAY · 09-06-2005, 01:46 PM

Oh yeah ive also sat in a Porsche Carrera and pretended to drive it lol.

blitzmile · 04-09-2005, 01:33 AM

mazda rx3 running a 12a turbo. i think it was putting out about 220 rw

honer · 04-09-2005, 02:55 AM

Fastest car I've driven is my mates Honda Integra, nearly 350 front wheel hp @ 12psi.

Good for low to mid 12's. VERY interesting driving a car that quick thats front wheel drive !

SpoolMan · 04-09-2005, 06:49 AM

Fastest Cars i have driven they were both this year.
APS Twin Turbo 6 speed Monaro, very nice smooth car to drive with a absolutely wicked turn of foot.
Rods BA Pursuit also had a APS Twin Turbo setup this one was an Auto, cruising at 100 klm's sink the boot in and it starts turning the tyres.
131 mph/211 Klm in 400 meters at Heathcote Raceway.
