Fastest thing u have been on/in

[clean16v]

just been for a spin on a kawasaki ninja. it was my first time on a bike and JESUSMOTHERf**kINGCHRISTALLMIGHTY it was pretty darn quick. it got to 140mph quicker then my car gets to 50!!! the guy who took me out said he didnt unleash it properly cos it was my first time and that my weight on the back was getting the front end to lift off on full throttle.

as for cars, the quickest thing i have been in is a very rare audi S6, we were four up and killed an 225TT of the lights, i know a TT isnt much but the S6 puts u back in your seat!!

As for acceleration, my mates(also very rare!!) 200bhp+ golf G60 aint half bad either. Traction permitting!!

 

[Tom]

Audi S8/F40 (not much between them speed wise)

my 600 hornet felt fast tho

 

[RobFenn]

On the road its my dads aston vantage, though im sure the vanquish will take over.

On track ive rode shotgun in a very heavily modified Jag E-Type which was lapping F40s and Jag XJ220s at Brands. It had well over 600bhp, the owner told me it did 0-60 in under 3 secs.

Hayabusa gets the thumbs up from me. Im planning on building a chassis around one later on this year. Should be good for sub 3 second 60 sprints.

 

[clean16v]

800BHP Nissan Skyline - The guy had spent £25,000 on just the engine.

[Fred@BTM]

Mates std Pulsar is ridiculous,

Ferrari 360 Modena Spyder makes the pulsar feel like a 1.2 clio!!!!!

6.75L twin turbo V8 Bently Red Label had the most pull, my neck was hurting the day after going in that!!!!

 

[Infinicar]

My lotus is about the quickest thing Ive ever been in. Altho driven 355s, 911s, and so on...actually the BMW X5 4.6iS thing is pretty good too!

Paul

 

[McBunny]

[Pysco]

Fastest car Ive driven is an M5, pretty impressive consdiering it size, fastest thing Ive ridden is my dads CBR900RR, pissess on anything and everything road legal, at 100mph in 6th if you open the throttle it feels like it gonna pull your arms off, mental!!!! got 180+mph out of it, NO one needs something that quick.

Fastest thing Ive been in, baring planes is a ProMod drag car, based around a 1970s Ford Mustang, 11ltr V8 Supercharged plus N20. Did a mere 8sec run at the pod, a bugger me is that quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like having an anvil on your chest.

Quickest plane Ive been in is a MiG-25 Foxbat, which my gf and parents paid for me to go up in on my 18th, words cant describe how quick it is!!!!

Lancia delta integrale

and best of all a race spec cateram R500 0-60 <3seconds 0-100 <6 seconds

the car was used for racing and the owner sure knew how to drive it.

mates modified 205gti got voted best track day bargain and the supercharged exige got voted best overall track car.

 

[RobFenn]

Was it the turbo techics exige, 260bhp+? One of the best cars ive driven.

I take it you like planes then Tom?

 

[Pysco]
