I've driven a few quick cars including a ferrari 355 challenge, porsche 911,RS4, Lotus exige, my own 420bhp R34 GTR V-spec. I would honestly say my current mk 2 type 25 is the quickest thing I've driven. I probably need to drive some of these light weight caterhams or westfields to feel what is genuinely quick, but I'm probably too big to fit in one.

quickest car I have been in full stop was a Dodge Viper that my tuner has in at the moment. No idea on the full spec, all I know is that the BE etc had been done, usual breathing mods and a huge rotrex super charger... 840+bhp at the rear wheels... It was in for the addition of a turbo (still keeping the charger). It was so fast I blacked out and almost threw up when I got out, and now he wants to take me out in a Caterham CSR... might give it a miss... lol

Either my former boss' Jag XJR6 or my mates SL500, I'm not quite sure which is quickest out of the two, but they both made my scoob look like a 1 litre Nova

Prototype Honda NSX R (2 stage VTEC ; ~400bhp or more and 1204Kg light) in Japan
I used to work for NNT (Japanese BT equivilent) in Tokyo, Mr Tanaka our CEO was very friiendly with the CEO of Honda, how could I resist a test drive of a protype.
Honest, I have some pictures.
Made a (Bad Man's Wagon) M3 seem very slow.

I was out the other day in a friends car, its on the cover of fast ford this month.
Its a Mk3 Escort with cossie runnin gear and its probably the loudest, most uncomfortable assault on the senses you can imagine!!!
Easily 500bhp with more to come, in such a lightweight shell, its scary!!

That would be my own scooby I guess with 0-160 in 9.1sec and 210.2 max within the confines of 1.5 miles.
Just been out testing a new turbo set up and 70-130 in 3rd gear was 2.4 seconds. Traction was an issue throughout though
Would you believe I don't really enjoy driving it anymore scares the sheeeet out of me

Dodge Viper 1997 GTS Coupe. I rented one out ($500 a day since you ask)with the girlfriend when we were in Hawaii a couple of years ago. Blue with silver stripes. Sexiest car ever built in my opinion, always wanted to drive one. Couldnt give it too much stick cos the roads on Oahu weren`t great, plus i didnt want to crash it! Loads of torque once it was cruising though. After all, it was an 8 litre V10. Bit of a pig to drive if Im honest, gearbox like a lorry, and a pain to get in and out of. My girlfriend still has a burn scar on her leg from where the exhausts run down the side of the doors. Still, a legend of a car.

Mate Neil owned a sapphire RWD cosworth 420hp/450lbft which I was lucky to drive a few times - that was fast up to 180mph!!!!
Then earlier this year:
Lambo Gallardo with Ti exhausts
Carrera 996 Turbo S Cab
Both very quick
Still prefer my STI06 PPP for all round fun and normal driving styles

Good thread - got me thinking of some good times (and some bad!) over the years:
Callibra V6
Vectra V6 SRi
Mitsubishi 3000GT (Euro version of GTO)
Porsche Turbo - test drive only
Lotus Elise - track day
Dodge Viper (old shape) - track day
F355 Berlinetta
then the quicker stuff
501BHP 2.5L Scoob
F360 Challenge Stradale
F430 F1
BUT the fastest of them all, a 1995 Larouse Formula 1 car
