Drove one of these on a track in Nottingham. Much faster than I expected.

donegal_road

I was a passenger in a Suzuki rally car years ago, we were doing 150 mph on a straight bit of road at one stage

minidazzler

My buddies MR2, going 200kmph down the motorway. And his brothers E36 going 130mph down the motorway....he fell asleep for about 3 seconds before we noticed it too...that was a scary trip home from Oxegen :pac:

El Guapo!

Ferrari 360 spider. Nearly lost it around a bend and almost shat myself.

joydivision

Mark 2 escort but the track didnt let me get to third gear for any length of time . Toyota Levin (not sure of the spelling ) very fast .

I had a modified Nissan Skyline back in `08 that I delimited. I loved the car but it was costing 600 euro a month in petrol (which was around a euro a litre then) 2300 a year in insurance. Worst of all was the amount of times I was pulled by the police for no reason whatsoever. A few of the nicer members of the force told me that my car was a cop magnet and that I`d continue to get hassled as it was a stereotypical boy racer car.

I`ve driven way faster cars, a few M3`s, an M5 (beautiful to drive, what a sound from the v10), a v8 AMG Eclass, a few scoobies/evos. My favourite had to be the M5, christ the torque!.

demanufactured

Not me, But my missus drove a Jensen Interceptor a few years ago , it was described as "fu.cking scarey!"

CruelCoin

Some 750ish BHP Porchse 911 model.

Quick as holy hell. Stills looks **** though.

Eoin

I had a very brief spin (only as a passenger ) in a BMW e39 M5. It was only around the block, but I still got a serious sense of the car's power.

vard

Driven a Ferrari f430, didn't exceed 100mph though. Been for a ride in a merc mclaren SLR, driven a Bentley continental GT and once sat it a Mclaren F1.

Fastest I've personally driven probably 150/160 mph

meathstevie

Golf R32, Vectra VXR

Dravokivich

Would have to be one of these bad boys, even faster going down hills!

Alkers

M3, Porsche Cayman or a Golf R32 - I'm used to bikes so the acceleration wasn't anything special but going around corners was crazy fast!

TouchingVirus

Last month I rented a new top-spec BMW M5 from BMW-Welt in Munich for a few hours, took it on the autobahn and got it to 174mph. Everything about the car was amazing, hands down the best drive of my life.

Zer0

Honda Civic Jordan and a Mazda MX5.. Mazda was quick, 2l 6 speed, light and nimble..

I remember reading somewhere that they had a tendency to overheat and randomly burst into flames. Maybe that's why?

AC Cobra.

My buddies MR2,

I'm currently in the market for one of these
One of my favourite cars since I was a teenager. A MKII of course!

Fastest car I've been in was probably a friend's toyota supra 400bhp - but I've yet to be given the privilege of driving it :pac:

Tigger

I've driven an e39 m5 very easy to go fast in one
It feels like you're vaccuming up the road in front of you
Bikes are still faster tho https://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/53225/108684.jpg

Odysseus

It would be a bike for me, I got 160mph out of my SV650

sfwcork

those MR2 hold their values v v well.

paddy147

Verified 190 mph in a 1000bhp R32 Skyline a few years ago.

Jaxxy

My own MR2.

why dont u sell it to whoops jaxxy. U know his desperate so u can fleese him.His a mod so his loaded

Shenshen

Porsche 911, sometime in the late 1980s.

My father had rented it for a business trip and since he got home very late on a Friday had to keep it over the weekend until the dealership re-opened Monday morning.

He took the family for a nice trip that Saturday, which was actually kind of fun. We hit 250 kph on the autobahn, and despite being only a kid I remember the acceleration to this day. Not altogether unlike an airplane at take-off.

The best thing though were the questions we got from the neighbours for the next couple of days.

I was offered five grand for it in a garage the other day. It's a t-bar and turbo and it's in fantastic condition so it's definitely worth a few quids. Not for sale though.

Depends on how you drive it! I was pleasantly surprised but it's still a bit of a guzzler.
