Default Most powerful car you've driven

Don't know if this has been done before (probably has) but what is the most powerful car you've driven?

Mine is a girly 300bhp 300ZX

If AlanG would let me drive his and not just have a sit in the passenger seat, his!

But he won't, so it isn't.

My brothers SL55 AMG (F1 pace car spec) - its a delimited tuned version of the normal one, very enjoyable .

Other than that it would be the 996 turbo (with X50 pack)

Are we talking just biggest BHP here ?? Because powerful can be anticipated differently ? i.e BHP / ton ? Lbft/ Ton etc etc. There are some seemingly 'low' powered cars that could keep up and surpas some of the suggestions above . i.e Caterham R300/R400/ westfield etc etc. if we are just talking all out BHP then it would have to be my mates 585BHP cossie escort with Nos. Awesome

Well, the fastest car I have driven is a Formula Palmer audi, followed by a Jaguar JP1.

Big BHP is one thing, but fast is another!

In terms of BHP then nothing very special, Garys STi 333 and my 944 Turbo.

Have driven both those on the Motorsport Experience as well.... very quick cars, as is the Clio Racer.

V12 Etype, meant to be 300 bhp, felt like 150 cos it never runs properly, other than that my 260 bhp Fiat Coupe, so not a very big total unless one of you lot want to lend me something.

The Clio is awesome!

I just looked at my times and even though I won the FPA (1.27) and came 3rd in the Clio racers, my time in the Clio (1.28) was only a 1 second slower than the FPA.

Even though the Clio was on road tyres, that time is faster than a new 997, SLK55AMG, Elise 111R! or 2 secs slower than a 911 turbo! See Evo mag.
