BS... only so much tire you can fit under a FWD setup. then asking the car to turn with any sort of throttle is just an exercise in futility. Car was definitely fun in a straight line, but once you turned the wheel, it was a waste of power. There are some cool FWD cars out there now, ie focus ST, but what's the point? Get a subie or lancer evo and be able to use the power

fastest ive owned: Supercharged IS300 330rwhp. this car is the reason i dont like vortechs on smaller engines. all the lag of a big turbo none of the punch. i still keep hunting for an IS300 to build differently one of these days

Full cage & all lexan...

Best pass... 10.32 @ 131mph (all motor no spray bracket car)

Shake rattle and roll besides being a lot O fun...:biggrin:
 
Most powerful? Depends upon how you define powerful.

For a car, probably the 1970 Hemi Cuda I got to drive for a few minutes after the owner cleaned my clock in my 1969 Olds 442 W-30 convert.

I've also piloted a 1971 Chevelle SS 396, a '70 Chevelle SS 454, a '69 Z28, a '69 AMC AMX w/390.....all quick and none stock.
 
Probably the same answer for both: 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, 400 HP. Not spectacular performance-wise, but it had some fun features. And I got paid to drive it.
 
Blown big block chev chevelle, not street legal drag only, Had about 900HP.

Fun to drive down the track but totally not street driveable.

add another.. and I have driven them.
no thanks. even more of a girly car than my old G35 Coupe.
The only "Lotus" I would drive is the Venom which really isnt a Lotus anymore.
Lotus handle great but have zero HP.
might as well get the FRS for ALOT cheaper if you want a great handling car with anemic horsepower ratings.

myself 2013 Gt500 with tune. 700hp
fastest.. my old CBR1000RR with track work done. ( clocked at 195)

My new baby.. 2013 2SS Camaro Dusk Edition. 426hp
soon to have a Whipple and tune on it.

A lot of you know people with tuned cars... I don't know anyone with one (I also live in Seattle; it's pointless. Before I was in Portland; almost ditto. Before that: Poor man's land.). Most people I know don't have cars or have something like an old honda civic. The price I pay for knowing people that have pretty low incomes...

It's not about income, it's about priorities. If you have low income, you can still have a fast car...you just have to make sacrifices elsewhere in life, and your fast car will probably be an older car that you tuned. Unless you're a real car guy, it's probably not worth living in a trailer in the bad part of town just to drive something fast.

Fastest car I've driven is a Ferrari F430, at a track event. Big grin on my face.
 
My current ride....

Howling wheelspin at over 70 MPH without even trying hard. 2340 pound (currently) and 270 WHP and 315 lbs/ft Torque on pump gas. Gods I love turbos for a reason!
 
Passenger: 1G DSM
Driver: 2005 WRX STi

Feeling the power of a 10 second AWD car launch and push you back in your seat was one hell of an experience. Now if it wasn't a pain to keep them running.
