Mind you, my 460bhp saff was fooking nuts with the launch control and my 480bhp Evo too..

Man i,ve wasted some money on cars.....

During the fuel crisis in 1973 I bought this to use, it was without doubt the most extreme machine i ever owned, dangerous beyond belief.

I've had a couple of 911 (997) GT3 RS's and an R8 at work, but they were only just moved around, not taken out on the road...

Probably the quickest/most powerful thing I've driven on the road was a 380/400hp Supra, I picked up for a customer, took it to work (12miles) and then back again. Got on the motorway doing 40, nailed it, within literally seconds it was doing 140, lost my bottle with it at 155 (GPS indicated)

Most expensive ever driven was a McLaren SLR - but like the GT3 RS's and R8, I only drove it about 0.2 of a mile

Not the fastest, but one of the most extreme was one of those 2.0 zetec formula ford cars at rockingham. most fun I had in years. diagonal 4 spd shift and hardly any clutch. fookin loved it. no idea what speeds I was doing but it was quicker than anyone else.

For me, it would have to be either the BMW 730Li V10 (or V12 can't remember) that belonged to a Director of Orange (the Phone company) or the Jaguar XK-R (Supercharged version) that we have had in work for panel repairs.

The Jag with all that power and no traction control

The BMW is just such smooth and effortless power that just propels over 2 tonne of car so easily.

998cc Mini with slick tyres on in the wet What an experience!

Fastest car i've driven was a 400bhp RWD saph, but the most brutal was my Pulsar without a doubt. So violent off the line it was untrue.

Jag xjs v12 7 ltr with warrior heads 5 valve per cyl 700hp
and xj220 down the a45 at silly speeds in the 80s
I loved working for the Jag back then
Still get to drive the supercharged xkrs xfr and the new xj replacement daily on the test track.
