Default Fastest car you,ve driven/been in....??

Yes i,m bored so i thought it,d be nosey and ask what,s the quickest car you,ve driven, passengered in??

Mine was Karl,s 3dr when it was on the GT40.... i,ve NEVER quite felt power like it tbh, the car just shook...

Fastest i,ve been againt is Daz,s Dolomite when it was on a GT35, i was in my 450bhp saff (private track) and he came past me and made mine look like a Micra....

I,d love to of had ago in Yum and would love ago in Rods car and Martin,s too....

Been in a couple of big power v8 with turbos or superchargers, 1000bhp kind of ballpark.

I think one of the quickest accelerating though is pollyx off here with his 440bhp westy.

YUM is another Ive driven that was quick, and porkies old sierra was fast too, and Ive driven Doug Stirlings escort a few times too.
My nova on a good day isnt far off the pace of those in terms of aceleration, but is still very much a work in progress.


Not sure what the out and out fastest was of them though, 1000bhp firebird I think probably in terms of top speed as thats the only time ive been over 200mph, although we hit 194 in YUM too.

To be honest im not 100% sure, i hit the limiter in 5th in my old saff overtaking a scooby but i was concentrating on the road as it was a bit twisty!
Managed 143 then my bottle went in my mk1 escort

Was a massively enjoyable passenger ride around snetterton, stu is NOT scared of that car and was happy for the back to be alive when coming out of high speed corners, it really was nuts how quickly we were gaining on other cars that were not actually slow cars themselves, and we were doing so as they were accelerating flat out.

VERY VERY cool car, and Im sure I dont have the talent to drive it the way Stu did without having a lot of practice first, so fair play to him on that

If he ever offers you the chance to go in it, TAKE IT!

Ps

Porkie's will be similar pace now to Stu's when its out next, so thats another one worth jumping in if you get the chance, he's normally happy for people to drive his cars too, the fucking idiot even lets me loose in them so his standards much be really low

Stu thought it was slow..... its got another 100bhp now

As Chip says mine will be over 400bhp when back on road and bit lighter than stus lardy one....

You are welcome for a go. I can even give you a video of the experience with full datalogging on screen now with my new AIM smartycam (AKA Crashcam or blackboxcam )

Chip,

There,s ALOT of truth in what you say there, i,m what i call an ok driver, but i have a few mates that are very capable and it,s funny how they,good drivers that is can make a 350bhp car feel quicker, does that make sense??

Knowing how to use the power, brake correctly etc makes a HUGE difference..

I think a lot of people who think their own cars arent very quick, are simply not using them properly!

Knowing how to use the power, brake correctly etc makes a HUGE difference..
Jim Galbally proved that one, 8:38 round the ring in a very slightly modded M3 E36, puts most people to shame!
