in the corners, my fezzy

in a straight line, my old mans bosses 69 mustang after he got the engine in it a couple years ago. you want to see the size of the blower ontop of that thing! on drag slicks it could lift the front wheels making a hasty takeoff

we had a hotrod donkeys ago when i was a baby, probably would have been faster but unfortunately i cant remember that far back

You had Full boost, But sadly I was VERY scared of driving fast at that point

I was going 10 seconds a lap quicker with half boost when Tiff was on board and I found my balls again.

I will make sure you get a PROPER go at Bedford matey

Not been in much either!

Quickest round the corners and for the simple sensation of speed was probably my brothers MI16 Pug 205. . Awesome fun for not a lot of money

In a straight line would be my uncles 5 Litre TVR Grif

Had a lap in Mikes EsCos round the Ring, that was an experience I'll never forget

The twin engined Nova on the road. Will is a loon anyway, and he gave it a good thrashing

Didn't seem that fast to me, as we were 0.5 bar of boost down in the mid-range due to the turbo hanging off the manifold (which was what the knocking was) .

Top speed... Porsche 911 turbo (last aircooled model) , I fell in love
Straight line... a tie between a Saleen Mustang (supercharged) and to echo XR4TIMAN the Buick Grand National. Buick felt like was kicked in the chest ...hard! (I was the passenger).
