Fastest car Ive driven is one of those little 'Legend' racers - only something like 200bhp, but weights nothing, so over 400bhp/tonne and 60 in under 4. That was on a track tho.
On the road the most powerful would be an Audi TT Quattro Sport (240bhp) or WRX (240bhp).

Not in the spirit...but!
Did the dragster experience at Daytona. Its a short rail dragster, locked onto a straight track, Chevy V8 running on gas but alegedly putting out 350bhp. You floor it, and make a single push button gear change mid run. The time displayed at the end of the run was 0-75mph in 3.8 secs, it certainly felt mega quick.
As a passenger about 7 years ago, I did the Richard Petty race experience at the Disney oval track in Florida. That was in a detuned NASCAR race car (which the driver guessed was about 650bhp). I made the mistake of telling the driver I had a race car back home, and it he wanted to impress me he would have to scare me! - He did...big time! We blasted the pit road and by the time we braked for the first corner, we were doing 145mph; I totally left my seat at this point, the only thing keeping me in the car was the harness. Rest of the run was a blur, speedo moves at an alarming rate, every straight ended 150+. I use to take the **** out of NASCAR,... not any more...they rewrite the laws of physics.

I don't suppose the locos I drive with 3000hp/92000lb ft @900rpm qualify (seeing as they aren't cars!), so would be tuned audi s2 (both my own and others) varying from 350-450hp and torque to match.

Quite simple really, people don't read/understand the first post/thread title properly.
Pretty clear to me the fastest car is NOT the most powerful....to others, they can't tell the difference

When I saw it I asked myself...what have I driven? In the grand scheme of things, sweet FA.
So when I found myself at mph-05 looking at the Thruxton Motorsport Center stand...it had to be done.
Ultimate supercar day: RX8 x3 laps, SLK x3 laps, 911 Turbo x4 laps, F430 x 4 laps, Murcielago x4 laps. Me driving and no nanny rev limits. Lot of money, but you cant take it with you, so what the heck. Cant wait!
