Default Out of your close mates, do you drive the fastest car?

Had all the what do you drive how old are you threads. Lets start with do you drive the fastest car in your close group of mates?

I'm 19 and drive a 1.8 145bhp focus. Other cars include a 1.2 Corsa, 1.4 Corsa, 1.4 Polo, 1.2 Punto, 1.4 Fiesta and another similar sized Polo. All have between about 65-75bhp and I run 145 so I run about double anyone else so I am cool apart from when I invite out one person with a 230bhp Cooper S.......GIT

Lets hear what your mates drive and whether you have the most powerful car...

Out of my close mates I've got the 2nd fastest (180BHP Golf GTI Anniversary). My mate beats me by 2BHP with his Clio 182 (which I honestly think is a fantastic handling wee car). I think the 3rd fastest car would be my friends 1.7 Astra Diesel - i guess they're not all that into thier cars in fairness.

Other mates beat me by miles though, two stage 3 cossies.

Yes and no.
If my car ever see's the road i'm sure it'll be plenty quick, until then 55hp of 1.2 punto doesn't exactly put me at the top of the list.

If we're going on manufacturer figures, then only just. I've got a 330Ci (231Bhp), One friend has an ST220 (222Bhp), my girlfriend has a Cooper S (170Bhp) -the rest of them drive regular cooking model cars - One drives an 05 Astra diesel and the other has a 96 Escort Estate.

My car royaly ruins any of my close mates cars. No one drives anything remotely sporty really. My ERST has about 260-270 BHP. But my brothes got a 360 BHP STI, few lads I drink with once a month have a Focus ST, Civic type R, Escos, but I put up a good fight

Yep, but then I have just bought a 575 bhp car to top everyone I know

Plus it needs remapping / map finishing to get the rest of the BHP out of it, so unless any of my mates head for 625 bhp + I should be ok.

Apart from guys on forums I have NO mates into cars whatsoever. The fastes car any of my mates drive is an Alfa GTV 2.0 Twin Spark, next fastest is a close call between a 1.2 Punto and a 1.25 Fiesta.

So I have no competition, lol

out of my close mates, yes. When your up against a 1.6 Clio, 1.3 Swift etc... its not to hard. Though one does have a new corsa with the 1.7 Diesel engine and that seems to go well.
