Probably a Jaguar XF V8. Only got it up to about 30kmph though because it was my bosses car and he asked me to move it haha.

Slowest would definitely be my dads 1951 Morris Minor.

Hey Essbeecee

I had a drag with a modified 135i with my XR6 Turbo about a year ago. I was very surprised that it could keep up to me. We were neck and neck up to about 150 before i backed off.

I really love the new BMW M1 :D , it should cost a lot less than $100,000 though :( .

Not sure that at 1700kgs that they're considered light! (4wd and 4ws)

Yep, those little 135is are are real pocket rocket. The one I drove should be running sub 12s pass given good conditions.

Many years ago; a Datsun 240Z with a RB26TT engine (Datto ways about 1000kg with a stock engine BTW). Never really got a chance to feel the full power but you could tell it was going to be quick!

A mates worked supercharged R8 Clubsport - dyno'd at 540Hp/820Nm.

Or previous to that a twin turbo ZR1 Vette.

What was the deal with the zr1, don't they have more than 540hp stock? Plus twin turbo I'd say that would definitely outgun the club sport.

The Corvette ZR1 has 638hp at the flywheel.
The engine is supercharged so i don't know why you would twin turbo it (unless 900hp from the supercharger is far too soft for a 1500kg car :D ).
The aftermarket guys in the US are getting easy 850hp out of them with a few simple mods.
He may be meaning the ZR6 which was the NA 7litre (427cu) small block which has 505hp standard.
Twin turboing a 7 litre V8 would be handy to get the kids to school that bit earlier.

Have you seen all the twin turbo kits for Gallardos, Murcielagos, Audi R8's etc? Frickin awesome!

I would love to have the cash to Mod a supercar.
You can buy a used Gallardo in the US from around $80,000 or Porsche 911 Turbo 996 for $50,000 (bloody cheap compared to Oz)
