Whats the fastest car you ever drove?

Re: What's the fastest car you ever drove?

The fastest was my old 1993 RX7.... was absolutely nothing stock on the car. Was converted from twin turbo into one very large single T-101 turbo.
Second fastest was my old Cobra.... Engine was built by Modular Performance, they built the engine, installed the supercharger and did all tuning on the car. Conservative street tune, the car made 602hp on the dyno.

I was selling Mazdas when that thing first came out. Competition Yellow Mica with Black Suede seats.

The two things that needed to be done to all of them was to improve the cooling system and switch to a single bigger turbo. The original reason for the twin turbos was one small one to give boost from idle to 4000RPM and the second from 4000RPM and above. No turbo lag at all.

When we got our first one, we raced it against our Dodge Store's Stealth Twin Turbo. The first one happened to be a Touring Model (heaviest) with sunroof, Bose Acoustic Wave Stereo, and Automatic. Beat the Stealth by about 10 lengths and won the GM $5000 from the Dodge GM.

Out of all my past cars I miss that RX7 the most. Everything on the car was done by Rotary Performance and they definitely know what they're doing when it comes to RX7s. The thing was an "exotic killer". Up around the Buckhead area of Atlanta there are a lot of people with lots of money who drove exotics and that little RX7 would put everyone to shame. The car originally belonged to a military contractor overseas and he dropped the car off at Rotary Performance and was sending them money on a monthly basis so that after his contract was up the car would be completely done. He spared NO expense on the car. He put about 11k miles on the car and decided that he enjoyed building more than driving them so he sold me the car and he turned around and bought a Supra to start working on.

1995 Firebird with the SLP Firehawk package on it. Had it at just over 150 miles an hour and barely into sixth gear when I panicked and brought it back down to the speed limit...slowly.

About three months later I wrecked it when one of the control arms on the front broke while taking a corner at 55MPH. Lucky for me it didn't break at 150mph.

The fastest quarter mile car I drove was a friends 65 Nova, it did 9.5 second quarter miles, and I don't remember the MPH, I was too afraid to look down at the speedometer and never looked at the finish line stub to see. I only ran a 9.90 in it.

Re: What's the fastest car you ever drove?

Wasnt a car for me. It was a yamaha R6. 132 mph. And not long getting there either.

Fastest zero to 60 is my Buddy's 2009 Lambo Gallardo. Actually, i don't know if it's the fastest, but it feels the fastest!!!

Fastest top speed nothing touches the GSXRs that I've ridden but car wise, using the way back machine, my same friend when he had a 930 Slantnose. That puppy was scary!!!! Other than that my R56 Mini Copper maxes out at about a buck 40 and my just traded Mercedes S63 was no slouch on the super slab either, with short bursts into that same range. At that speed I've never driven a car that feels more planted than the Mini Copper. It is my favorite car to drive along with the Mustang Cobra that preceeded it as the weekend toy car of choice.

2003 50th Anniversary Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Had it for one year, took it down this long straight road in Maryland had it up to 114 until it started to get a bit squirrelly on me.. Also took a few laps around new hampshire motor speedway.. didn't get a chance to look at the speedometer.

I would have to say the fastest that I ever went in a car would have to be in my old 1969 Mustang. It was flat black because the paint was old and faded.I took out the 302/3-speed and and put in a suped up 351 Cleveland and a 4-speed with 3:00 gears. I was driving home after work one day and opened it up on a 4 lane straight and let it sing for about 2 miles until there wern`t no more. I was going so fast that tears were coming from my eyes from the wind coming in through the open windows,and I thought the tires were going to blow off.The speedometer and dash and interior were all removed to save weight. I would guess close to 150 MPH.

Also owned, but never considered them fast: 1966 Mustang/1986 Firebird/1956 Ford convertible 312 c.i./1957 Chevy 283. Probably others, but to be truthful, the fastest and most fun were my Kawasaki KZ1000 and my Ninja. Crotch rockets. Now all are just memories. And of course I never exceeded the posted speed limit. ever...

Have to be my 66 chevy caprice. 396 bored, rochester quads, pos traction rear end. top speed on radar was 147mph. That was a giant hunk of flying metal. Had a GTO with a 400 ram air it was a sleeper so was my 64 t-bird. That ole chevy with air shocks jacked up could break loose the tires anytime. We street raced ever weekend. That car won me a lot of money.
Now I am sad and just tool around on my Harley.
