Pretty much anything outside of a supercar that was made from 75 to 95, and also including some "supercars".

My 86 Iroc hit 145 once. Not super fast, but faster than what I own know. Then again, what do expect from a Ford F250...
But really, while my Golf is the smoothest car at speed I have ever owned. 120 is pretty much all it has. I have not tried to see if the F250 is faster. |

My prius in economy mode.
Sport mode? Totally different story. |

I had the fuel injected version. It was not so much miles as a 125 limiter on the computer. I topped a hill at 125 and did a Dukes of Hazard. Rear wheels spun up in air and it blew past the limiter when it came back down. I never tried to recreate that as it was disturbing having the seat belts keeping me in the seat.
So yeh, it was not so much the miles to get there, but vertical feet of the fall. |

IIRC, they had to pour Clorox on the Burt Reynold's Trans Am's tires in Smokey & The Bandit just to get them to spin on the pavement
220 hp??? |

View Quote That's hilarious. The Ferrari 308 GTS qv was the first car I thought of. My father had one when I was a kid. It looked amazing. It sounded amazing. But speed was a foreign concept to that car. He later sold it for some American muscle, a Buick Grand National. That car looked... good. Sounded amazing. And had more power than the Ferrari could dream of. |

1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. My wife had one just like the one pictured. Nicely appointed high option car, beautiful sleek body lines, road and drove great. Unless of course you wanted to go fast or quick. 2.3L was just not enough to make it a performance car.

The current BMW i8 or whatever it is, looks like a super car but has only like 380hp. Not the worst but for how it looks and how expensive it is, it has an anemic level of power.

Hyundai Tiburon. This was my 07. I had tons of people always ask what it was and how fast it was. Attached File

The definition of fast continues to evolve. I grew up hearing stories about all the fast muscle cars in the 60s-70s when in reality all were slower than the mustangs and camaros in the 2000s.
Today 500 plus hp cars are everywhere. The next evolution of fast is electric. We will see family cars running in the 9s soon. Look at the recently revealed lucid air. |

Quoted: Those aren't fast!? I was under the impression they had power to spare. View Quote I don't know if it was an original, or kit, or what, but it's the only vehicle I've ever seen literally "leap" off the line at a stop light. It just jumped, like an animal. I guess its tires were warm. It was nuts, and I remember it vividly, even though it was many years ago. |

The new Camry TRD. Looks fast but only 300hp. Runs the same speed as my 2.7 ecoboost F150
