Most powerful car you've driven

[obi_waynne]

What is the most powerful car you've ever driven then? What did you think of it and did it make your own car seem positively slow and boring afterwards?

 

[Zwaf]

My experience are humble. Most powerfull car I have driven is Honda S2000. 2 liter atmo engine and 240 bhp.
My car was way slower and boring in comparisson then. Ibiza was full stock then, even now she is slower and boring in comparisson, but honestly, I don't need better one.
I live in poor country and there are only mega expensive cars on the streets or on oposite side cheap cars. Maybe 'couse of that I don't feel like i need something better - not much contenders around me.

The Cosworth Sapphire I am in the process of stripping. 457bhp and 421lb/ft when rolled. By the time I bought it I guess it was down from this but it still felt very quick. The slightest dampness and it was lethal. Good fun though

 

[T9 man]

Well it was and still is mine! 602 BHP or 702 BHP if I hit the NOS

 

[Puntopimp]

Cheater!! lol

Got to be a 2004 Scooby WRX or a Porsche Carerra GT

 

[MasterAuron]

Ferrari 360 maybe, 400hp. But then my mates Evo is much quicker up to 100, and that was 390-something hp at last RR, should be over 400 now so could be either.

Cheater!!

Same here

I drove my mates Cosworth whilst i was in Germany, and gave it a good blast on the Autobahn

 

[SLEEPER]

If you count just round the block then I can say a 750bhp skyline.
I wasnt allowed to use the race map which was just as well.

 

[MWheatley]

Formula Forward on an experience day at my local circuit (Croft)... 130bhp weighing in at 420kg. Felt awesome!!!

 

[bigbadjoe]

I think it would have to be....mine.

Then my mates Evo 4

 

[claymore]

I suppose my Volvo, but the most powerful feeling would be Michelle Mouton's Audi Quattro.

 

[stamford]

Having trouble remembering any, it's an age thing.................:embarrest:

I'm not one for passenger rides so that's a few off the list right there!

If I can't drive it I won't sit in it.

toyota supra 3.0 turbo ~500 bhp in Portugal
ford mustang supercharged v6 from Qatar
and yes after both experience it looked my car was very very very slow.

 

[MADRod]

Driven lots of fast cars. My 1989 Sapphire Cosworth has a Dyno proven 838bhp its all i will claim because its not been on a test bed with its new Turbo but 860+ i guess. Have a 200 shot of Nitrous to add to that but as yet untried. Have used over 900bhp on the gas at Brunters back in 2005, thats crazy, but im happy with 800bhp on the road on the pump map.

 

[HDi fun]

I wonder why you adopted the handle MADRod?
800bhp.
In a Ford Sierra.
Your interpretation of 'on the road' is clearly different to mine.

Very nice.

The name MAD is used because although retired 5 years i still work part-time for M.A.Developments the company that developed my car. Its a road car still fully trimmed & sound proofed last year it covered 6k road miles & does not have a low boost setting :blink1:.

 

[HDi fun]

I doubt you'd have much use for a low boost setting if it's only managing 800bhp in its usual tune.

 

[gummy]

A gtr on a track last year,i was a bit dissapointed,i think it may have been restricted as it didnt go like i thought it would,however it was a great car to drive etc,i loved it!.I wasnt dissapointed to get back into my gtt i still think it goes well! and will go even better when abbey motorsport remap etc at the end of the month! cant wait!!.

 

[Bockum]

The most powerful car I have ever driven at speed was a Mercedes SLK 230 kompressor. 190 hp wasn't as big of an improvement over the 110 hp of the escort lx I drive everyday as expected. The merc was much more comfortable in the bends though. My escort would corner at about the same speed as the merc, but howl in agony to do it.

 

[boostnturbos]

the quickest car ive ever driven is between a focus st 290bhp and a 300zx at 320bhp, some difference to the diesel 406 hahaha. my volvo 850 t5 is up there aswell.
