ROFL @ some of you! Test driving is a viable option, but gee, could we at least keep the car overnight...

I think the fastest car I have been in is my restoration project... New Page 1 It's a GTO / Lemans cross with probably 540 ish HP (never had it on a dyno) The quickest I have had it running is a 12.03 Quarter mile with a trap speed of about 115. I have done some more modes from the 12.2 ET's posted on the site... At 8 Gallons per Mile, it's not a very good daily driver...

And now it's time for my 05 SS monte to get some upgrades. I don't think I'll ever hit 11's with the Monte, but I'll shoot for maybe some 12.9's...

I think you would be better off driving the ZL1 Camaro.. Then the LT1 Camaro
2013 Camaro ZL1. MSRP from $54,350* With the 6.2L supercharged engine and its 580 horsepower and 556 lb.-ft. of torque..

I more curious as to whats the fastest you gone an in what?
I've seen 160+ in my monte(2.56 rear gear goes a long way)
I think most have gone faster in the slower cars that aren't as high end($)

Wish I wouldn't have voted already, cause now it's changed lol. Today I drove a Porsche Carrera S, so now that's my new fastest.

Whoo boy that was a fun car too. I didn't even know my ears could depressurize inside a car lol

Mine was a 67 Vette 427/ 435 4 spd. But I have driven in a 1967 Chevelle with around 950 HP to the rear wheels. That made that Vette look like a 4 cyl Vega

Fastest car I've driven was my 86 mustang, 9 seconds @ 152mph. Last tune it had got me pushing just 11 ponies short of 800 and actually fastest I've been in it was somewhere around 175-180 on the open road. Second fastest would my current hayabusa, pushed it to 160 before i felt like i was gonna fly off of the bike and it still had so much more left in it.

For me the most powerful car I have driven was the 2011 Camaro SS which is pretty awesome, but I have to say that it was pretty much a tie with a tuned Subaru STI i got to drive a couple times. very different cars but both where wicked fun and unfortunately out of my price range for now lol.
