Fastest car you've ever owned?
Sadly this isn't a boasting post, including my 5 Imprezas, the fastest being a 305bhp, I would have to say my current Audi A6 Allroad 3l Diesel is the fastest car I've owned. I've had it mapped and dyno'd at 320bhp, which I think is a bit off and it's more like 300 (tops), but it's awd, launch control and an easy smooth acceleration.
Would love an S6 or .. well obviously an RS6, the difference in comfort from the Scooby is amazing, but you can never replace the feel of the Scooby, and of course the sound :( C'mon then, impress me .. |
My current MY14/15 STI, On the dyno with 309PS at the wheels (346PS engine) and 563.7NM Torque. It's also by far the loudest car I've owned :p
|
this is were i differ the most powerful car i had was a 389bhp classic, but it wasnt the fastest - totally un useable powerband haha 4500rpm to 6500rpm
my quickest prob was my leon k1 with 310bhp and 330lbs of torque |
W213 E63 AMG 563 bhp and 553 lb ft
Its the new 4Matic+ version, and with its 9 speed gearbox its rapid. |
Probably my 400bhp RX7 twin turbo, or my 300+ forged Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, Both cars actually took your breath away. The Pulsar had digital acceleration, no lag at all with my hybrid turbo and was just insane. The RX7 actually took your breath away and shut my wife up for the only time in her life!
I've had quite a few 350bhp subarus now and both the RX7 and pulsar were without doubt faster and more exciting. |

Have to agree I had a built pulsar and thing just flew and didn’t notice lag etc. Did you run a t28 hybrid ?

Rapid little things from low speed upwards but never handled aswell as a Subaru in my eyes. But to be fair I never went to far into the handling just brakes and speed lol

Fastest - MY 97 WRX RA.
Quickest - 1996 JDM Eunos 1.6 |
I had a brand new 99MY Impreza Turbo Wagon that felt really quick for the time....(but wearing), had it PPP'd, then eventually swapped it for a new 2003MY Blobeye when they came out, which was MUCH more refined, and was probably as quick, but didn't feel it... (it was actually much nicer to drive though)
I now have a 18MY 2.5 Outback and that too feels quick when needed, but so much smoother & refined than the old turbo's before it - miss the wave of boost though occasionally! hahahaha A std early Imp Turbo probably isn't as quick as you think these days as a modern car - like my Outback - power delivery is much more linear. I think my 99MY PPP was the most 'take your breath away' fastest at times - it would pull so strongly :thumb: |
My current MY00 GC8 with 400ps.
I have driven an R35 GTR but that was horrible to drive and definitely faster but not mine. |
Fabia vRS 1.9 tdi felt the fastest -but I know it wasn't. lol. My Octavia vRS's have been ok
Not had the joy of owning anything really quick quick : ( |
My fastest was my last impreza (blobeye sti) running a zen built 2.5 mated to a gt3071r @ 434bhp 460ftlbs the thing was a missile and with its paddle clutch it would lunch straight off the mark with no messing around.
The car I've had the most fun in was my 2004 facelift cosmic grey ep3 type r, it was a hoot to drive and the only car that has got me a speeding ticket. It wasnt that quick but due to the insane redline and noise it gave you the feeling of pure speed. About to pull the trigger on an f10 m5 competition pack so no doubt that will be the quickest if I buy it. |
I've driven (but not owned) quick cars. Some were quick but not really felt it. If you know what I mean...

Two awesome cars!! that rx7 sounds mental. The price on rx7s are ridiculous now. and its amazing how you can pick up an rx8 for next to nothing
I forgot I also had a lotus Elise engined Metro GTI as an every day car for a while, the thing was a missile, ate up everything I came across. Also my Lancia Delta Integrale was bloody fast. ;) Oh, and had loads of classic cars and classic mini's, the fastest by a long way being my 200bhp A series turbo engined MK1 mini. Was one of the first classic mini's to be turbo'd back in the day and was quite frankly bloody dangerous if you could hold on! :thumb: |
Probably the 2.1 stroked S206 engine tuner classic. I just regret not pushing this on race fuel to see what it was really capable of. Probably was the fastest car I have owned - managed a high 11 sec 1/4 at Elvington.
Also owned a Renault Alpine GTA - Felt really quick for a normal aspirated 2.8 V6, but that might have been because I was only around 21 years old at the time. |
Tesla S
faster than my 500hp subaru And a darn sight nicer to drive |
My last Impreza which was about 700bhp and used to hit full boost of 2.3bar at 3300rpm, the car used to drag you all over with torque steer and it used to put a big smile on your face :). Due to breakages with high power I have moved onto another marque and kept that car at a sensible 530bhp :)
