Fastest car I've driven would probably be the Donut King BRute ute... That thing hammered!
Top speed run would have to be 210kph in my dad's XJS Jag - took me a long time to wind it up there, but it felt like nothing at all. Except that it looked like the other cars on the *closed road* were coming backwards at me...

Fastest I have ever been is about 210kmh, its a funny feeling driving a car that gets to 170kmh with only 1/2 throttle, it would have hit 250+ had I been game enough(works out to be 260kmh@redline), but I wasn't keen on a night in the lockup.(I was told VIC coppers are hardcore).

TVR Cerbera....ooooh baby. A bit of a pig down low but once you open the throttle up a bit....jesus. I want one!
That's the one that stands out. Just driving it down Beach Road giving it a little bit, well as much as you could on Beach Road. Driven a bit of other stuff to, Dodge Viper RT10, couple of Ferraris (nothing late model), GTs, Porsches, R34, really too much to mention. I want my old job back! |

Top speed in a car as a passanger was around 28o-29o k's, in a huge 2 door merc. Then there was an insaine high speed run in my mates R33, wound the needle past the 18o mark and was on it's way back to the start top speed i dont know. Once he had the digital tac put in it pulled 295 according to him but he said it still had some but he ran out of road, erm track.
Fastest accelerating car would be a a lap around the block in a 8 sec torana, that thing was just insane blown and injected 454. Although he just gave it a squirt here and there that was enough for me. Second is a Vp aero with a 383 stroker and twin n2o shots, went low 1o's at the creek before he got his holiday. Plates are 2FREKY (spelling might be off) 3rd is the exact same engine in a VK with larger n2o shots although it hasn't seen the track yet. Plates are TUFFVK. Although i'd never own a commadore respect goes out to these monster cars, badass indeed. |

A Dodge Viper I hired in Las Vegas but never pushed it to the limits. To many cars on the roads. But it had brute rear wheel smoking power of the mark.

a friends turbo calais - a dog before the turbo kicks in but when it does it's grins all around
also a 1969 Mustang fastback with a 351 in it. Was going to buy it but upon close inspection by RACV found major problems :( as a passenger the fastest i have been is 200km/h in a VY2 V8 berlina station wagon.

Fastest car I've driven is probable my Falcon. I've been to 200k's with it, but it's not all that powerful in comparison to most of what you guys have. Second fastest was an auto Cortina, but being 19 and on first-year provisionals usually means anything with an eight is out of my cost bracket

need more boost

I've not really driven any exotics, and speeding is hard to do, so i'll go on acceleration...
3. V8 GT Limited (soarer) - with zorst, chip, CAI etc... 2. VH SL/E - 253 modded with flat-tops etc etc. Pulled pretty hard for a baby V8, revved out to over 7500rpm. 1. 300ZX TT - TEIN adjustable coilovers, 3" custom exhaust, unknown engine mods but it boosts at around 3500 and revs to ~9k rpm. The 300ZX I drove by far went the hardest. I was actually scared to put the foot down, but when i did it nearly bit me in the **** at around 80km/h... The previous owner claimed it did over 300, but the present owner has had it to 260 before becoming scared LOL. I only drove it to the speed limit, i didn't wanna crash a car worth more than i am haha.

By far my current RZTT would be the fastest so far followed by my old XBGT (modified).
