What is the most powerful car you drove?

So... what is the most powerful you drove?

Drove - not took it for a spin around the estate going less than 30kph

2012 BMW 535d for me - 313hp.

I think he means real life and not Gran Turismo 5

A 1300 GT turbo starlet with every upgrade imaginable. Frightened the ****e out of me

dgt

A31 Cefiro. Set up for drifting. Now that was fast.......

I suppose most powerful on the road was an E320 with a remap.... Holy sh*t that could go :eek:

cplwhisper

Ferrari 360 modena 400 wee horse around Silverstone track back in 2008......... £99 only......

Gumbo

My old Evo 5 with 360bhp.
But my remapped E60 LCI 535d was ferocious with only 340bhp but 500 foot pounds of torques

aaakev

New audi s8. 4.0 l v8 520bhp. Proper spin, best experience with a car iv ever had!

galvo_clare

M5 and M6 V10. M button released an extra 100 bhp.

Current M5. Not as wild but stupidly fast on the road.

Supergurrier

My car

Cookie_Monster

360hp Commodore

i bought a e36 bmw 323 coupe auto a few years back in sport mode when you put the foot down it paused until the revs built up and took off like a scalded cat. Unfortunately the engine suffered from the alusil /nikasil issues was using a lot of oil and i got rid of it in the auctions. 170 bhp

spank_inferno

I know yeah, that's why I didn't say a veyron. Cos I've actually driven a LP-550-2. Video proof and all.

I'm delighted your first contribution to the thread is to try be a smart arse though. Mainly because it's backfired.

Fat Nav

Tuned Toyota supra over 600hp

I've the 5.7 of that with a puny 250 bhp :P

On topic, my 535d would be the most powerful car I've driven. Probably by some margin.

PaddyFagan

SLK32 AMG & Subaru Impreza turbo (rally prep'ed) - both around 350 bhp.

Paddy

thecomedian

E39 M5

What a car.

Ardennes1944

Virus' M3. or a modded evo 8 which I strangely never asked what it was running

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Db9. 510hp. **** my pants scary.

Gavman84

Evo ten and 535d are two most powerful iv driven. Evo is class some yoke to go!

traco

Owned a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang Conv when I lived in the states. It had a modded 351 Clevland V8, racing cams, C6 racing transmission, carbs that were big enough to climb into. Dyno had her at 400 hp at the back wheels, leaf springs and sh1te brakes.

Useless off the line, lethal on corners, totally undeliverable in the wet and you couldn't stop it. Serious crack and from a rolling start above 30mph it flew.

One car I regret selling but had no money at the time and to make it right would have cost a fortune so what can you do

jca

Some lies on this thread.... Some of the drivel sounds like it's from Top Gear scripts.

guil

560hp truck count haha

Most powerful cars were my scooby at around 250hp, mr2 turbo with god knows what done to it and an r33 gts.

h3000

911 (997) GT3 and loved every minute of it.

435bhp btw

Starscream25

Mazda rx8 don't even know the bhp or engine but by golly it was a beast.

TBi

BMW 735i. 3.5l v8 e38. Lovely car but I got bored of waiting to fill it up.

Bigus

Not the most powerful I drove but the fastest.

Maximus Alexander

Did a few laps in a Lamborghini Diablo on a track in Nottingham. That was pretty excellent.

It was a joke, as in ha ha...

Wasn't trying to be a smart arse.
Why don't you lighten up a bit

colm_mcm

I can't rightly remember, but a 645ci or a supercharged 350z would be up there.

fergus1001

Fiat panda oh yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh

Technoprisoner

porsche 996 turbo 420 bhp ....wheel spins in 3rd and likes going sideways

but the evo is better fun

shamrock55

Evo 8 would be mine, i wish i had the money to buy an evo:(

toastedpickles

Car off the road, 325bhp subaru
On the road....probably dgt's pug :pac:

Flesh Gorden

Mercedes C32 AMG (354hp according to parkers)

Really caught me off guard as it was in full auto mode and not an AMG badge to be seen anywhere, inside or out.
(apart from the alloys - but you'd need a keen eye)

He (owner/friend) had me under the impression it was his wife's 1.8, that just so happend to be kitted out.

Beautiful car.

My youngest has my head melted to buy one. A lad who I work with has owned a few and says never again though, just too dear to keep on the road. Mixed messages..

ham_n_mustard

bmw 760 li
but i only got to drive it a few feet because it was sick

Henry Ford III

Audi R8 v10. 5.2l, manual box, 525bhp, and 4wd.

It's a doddle to drive, but it's tricky to park. It's got a lot of pick up too, at any speed, and in any gear.

jigglypuffstuff

My CLK 200K...considering my first car was a corsa..this was a serious upgrade for me

Ha ha im 37 ( bit of a midlife crisis for me id say), i would imagine the insurance, tax, fuel costs, tyres etc could cost a fair bit alright, your friend must have liked them though seeing as he owned a few right?

Tax is same as any other 2.0 car, cheap at €710.
Tyres are not that expensive aslong as your not burning rubber at every junction. Remember these cars come with 17" and 18" max standars, none of this fancy 19" or 20" sh1t

Insurance and fuel is the killer depending. I was paying €990 fully comp for mine but With a 1k excess and i didn't do much mileage, I commuted on my bike so only used the car in the evenings and weekends. I had mine during the boom, so there was no such thing as MPG calculators

Eircom_Sucks

I kid you not

Bugati veyron in dubai 2012 , my friend is a clinic specialist in mri/ultrasound and is known in the medical field around the world , anyway he got to borrow the prince of dubai's car , im not joking , was a mad 2 days there , i puked my guts up at 170 kph ( just the speed it gets to that ) had to pull over , felt like a bitch

Cee-Jay-Cee

The most powerful was a V10 Audi R8 525bhp but the fastest was a 480bhp R33 Skyline, it was an absolute animal compared to the R8. (The R8 was at a track day in the uk 2 years ago, also drove a Murcialago and a 355 Ferrari on the same day)

Dord

Mini Cooper S. Just did a search and it appears it was about 180BHP.

It meant very little to me at the time though as I was just learning to drive.
