A 9 second Corvette is possibly the fastest accelerating car I have been in, 800 of your finest V8 ponies is brutal but its out of puff at 140mph.
A local rwd Saph with a genuine 530hp is the fastest thing that actually handled and stopped that I've been in I guess.
Mikes Escort would come close to that though as although not running full power I was lucky enough to get 2 laps as a passenger round the ring in it and thats where you really appreciate just how good the car is... and driver for that matter

I remember a Top Gear, or Fifth gear episode and they tested how quick you,d have to drive through a Speed camera to not get trapped, it was 175mph in a TVR.... so safe guess i think most people get trapped...

What kind of stopping distances are we talking when doing 190+mph??
And maybe Rod/chip can answer this, how much track/airfield is needed for you when attempting your 200+mph goal??

Fastest I've been in was a 690hp (apparently) RX7, never felt boost that brutal. But felt lightly planted even with silly speeds.
That I've driven, the new RS6....shifts pound for pound quicker than anything when you're in it. Would NEVER think you're in something the same weight as a Cayenne. I WILL own one, one day...

Very application dependant, but in YUM's case it was at least 1/3rd of a mile I reckon when we did it!
Rod tends to go to runways about 1.7-1.8 miles in length, that includes your stopping distance though, so its about 1.3 miles on the gas I expect (rod will have exact figures)
The truely EPIC statistic that sticks in my mind about Rod's old engine though, is that it was doing 0-180mph in less than half a mile!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
fastest as passenger was my mates skyline R32 GTR with 600bhp jesus that thing is quick
fastest driven was a maserati bi turbo that my cousin owned no idea on power but it was doing 130mph .... in 3rd gear felt very quick.
fastest actual top speed i have done is 155 mph in a M3
most scary was my old mk1 rs2000 when you hit a tonne the front goes light and on the m40 it even managed to leave the ground (all four wheels) when there was a bad dip due to subsidance near beaconsfield (was not going that fast either) shit myself

Christ, where do i begin
The car that sticks in my mind as being the fastest i've driven was a remapped Nissan GTR, i drove it standard and it felt REALLY good, but remapped it just felt so alive! Scary to think it was pretty much standard too!
Fastest i've been in?
Loads spring to mind... The RC Developments 930bhp Time Attack Evo was probably the most surreal, Wennys Mk3 Escort is faster than a Mk3 Escort should be... Porkies westy was fun
