Not necessarily that you've had the pleasure of driving but at least having the pleasure to ride shotgun in.

Fastest car I've been in was a 400+ horsepower Corvette ZR-1. That thing pulled hard and effortlessly.

I still want to take a ride in my neighbors built up 68' Camaro with a bored over 396 and that 150 shot of NOS. He claims to run in the 10's.:)

Grand dad's BGN use to run 11's on street tires, but then he sold it when the tranny blew. BGN/Turbo Regals are kings of cheap 8s 1/4 miles.

Faster car was a girlfriend's dad's '69 vette wtih a 424 dropped in it. I drove it at 165mph and thought it was too fast for the car.

Fastest truck is my best friend's new uncle built to tow his championship circle track car. The truck will run 8s in the 1/4 mile with the tires spinning the entire run. (No grip) It's got a 500ci motor he built for an SCCA race car he won with, but they kicked the car out b/c they kept saying it was too heavy for it's class...

I took a ride at 140mph along some back roads and it was scary shit.

mrq: i only say what i see the needle went to 30 so that's what i say i have no need to bs. it's not my car and i haven't seen him in years (my sister divorced). if you don't believe me than fine cause when i finally learned what boosting does i couldn't believe it my self but that is exactly what i saw. he just started working on it and finally put the motor in no body kit no tints no radio no ac no heater no rear seats no carpet it looked like racehex's interior.

a 400+ horsepower civic...it broke lose in every gear except 5th. The guy that owns it smoked a twin turbo supra. The civic is clean too, not like the rest of the idiots you have seen driving around right?

Fvck all of you and your cool automotive experiences :(

Stock Subaru WRX STi - freaking trip, but the ride was too short to really have it sink in.

However, for a bone stock $30k car :eek:

I want one BAD.
