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

    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

    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:

    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!.

    Some 750ish BHP Porchse 911 model.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,288 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 537 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,778 ✭✭✭meathstevie


    Golf R32, Vectra VXR

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,931 ✭✭✭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!

    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.
