Whats the Fastest road Car you have ever driven???

Postby PoidaGT » Sun May 06, 2012 9:31 pm

The fastest car i've driven is my mates Porsche 911 Turbo (997)
His 911 has been modified by Peter Fitzgerald and is estimated to have 700hp at the flywheel.
It is estimated to do low 10 second 1/4 mile passes (hasn't been on the dragstrip as yet).

We timed it accelerating from 100kmph to 200kmph in about 5 seconds :D :D :D :D :D
I've never felt a car push me so hard in the back of a seat and feel so planted going around corners at rediculous speeds.
I've driven Ferrari's, Lambo, Aston Martin's etc and this 911 would leave them all for dead. (Nissan GTR R35 is close).
I would really love to own this car one day :mrgreen:

This isn't his car but looks similar:

That's pretty quick. Sounds like an 11-12 second car.

That V12 Twin Turbo liberty you are building would be ballistic if you can get some decent traction!

Haven't been driving too long, but either the car I drive now, C63, or a friends 135i with full bolt on mods, upgraded turbos, meth injection etc..

Well I didn't get to drive it.... but went cruising many years ago with a mate in his drag car - a Ford Mk1 Escort with meth Cosworth engine and a huge turbo. It easily lifted the front wheels on launch so we spent a fair amount of time looking at the sky :lol:

But for actually driving it's either my Liberty or a 2010 BMW M3.
I own a Liberty honest!

My neighbour's old track R34. His business is japanese imports and he had this in his driveway for ages, had well over $100,000 spent on it. Back in Gran Turismo 3 days he promised if I could get him all gold licences on one of the licence levels he'd take me for a spin (he didn't like driving it on the street as it was too hard to keep with the traffic due to the clutch).

All I remember is sitting in the passenger seat, him flooring it, the yellow light that tells you when to change gears flickering, and me literally facing the sky like it was a freaking rocket ship. Pretty sure that at the time it was the closest I'd come to peeing my pants since toilet training ;)

It was a 10 second car and in the time it was in his garage waiting to be sold it went through 4 or 5 clutches at the track, probably spent over $50,000 just on that!

Being in a car, it would have to be a 911 GT2 being driven by a Porsche test driver. First time he stomped ceramic brakes my face almost went through the windshield.

That's what i wanted to get before my Liberty! By the time i'm ready for an upgrade, they'll be far too old! Ridiculous power-to-weight ratio though, they're amazing.


Supercharged VZ SS 6.0L for me, that thing scared me. Nothing compares to turbo boost though.
