Question What's the fastest/most powerful car you've driven/rode in?

Not a parrot to the largest vehicle!

Seriously what's the fastest/most powerful car that you've driven/rode in? I always get a little adrenaline rush when a car is accelerating quickly and it always made me wonder how super fast cars would feel like, such as a Veyron.
The fastest car I've been in is a 280~WHP WRX. When it went WOT, I was just like holy ****! it really pushed me into the seat. I can only imagine how a Veyron or those crazy dragsters' acceleration feel like.

That is all.
Btw to my fan club, I'm finally getting permit next week... uh oh?

Probably the Version VI STi Group N rally car (w/ anti-lag) in Coventry, England. I've ridden in several "more powerful" cars, but I think it would definitely be up there in the "fastest" category.

whatever a stage2 legacy with a dump tube makes, I don't think I have ever been in anything with more power really.

Fastest I've ever ridden in that I can remember was a twin turbo 911 that had AWD. I think it went to 100 in about 2 seconds Oh yeah, and the guy did a 4 wheel burnout too.

It's a roadster. There were originally 5 built. As far as I know 4 are still around. I got to drive one somewhat quickly in a parking lot as it was to be on display at a show I was doing production for and the owner said it was ok. So... I drove it more than marginal in a parking lot. Yeah. True story.

Oh, I guess the fastest is a Corvette I helped prep for the Golden State Classic. I was clocked at 201mph.

It didn't feel the 'quickest' though.

Some get lucky. I don't own the car. I'd be really lucky if I did.

modded diesels are awesome.

not only do you hear their turbos louder then anything else, they make an awesome smokescreen too.

One of my students at a lap day hit 160mph going into turn one at Road America.
I also rode in some 30 PSI WRX something or other. He said it was running 10's it seemed almost too much to handle.

Cold tires, dirty asphalt and my ribs still hurt a week later from the skid pad test.

My STI before it blew up with the gt35r at 26-27psi, 93/110 mix and meth is the fastest car I've driven. My buddies 600whp+ 3000gt is a bit faster but I haven't driven it.
