Fastest I personally owned was probably the 77 jeep I had with a bored, cammed, and built up 350 swapped into it. I've mostly owned trucks.
However funny enough, the fastest acceleration I've ever rented was probably a tesla. I was surprised at how they launch. 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Yeah I haven't driven alot of real fast cars. |

Quoted: I haven’t built a drag car in decades, I just have street cars now. The GT500 has been tuned to 805hp, the GT40 is 1966 tech and is a 450hp 200mph car, and the Cobra is 625hp in a small package. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/240604/55684695-EE85-4BEC-9BF7-322E844A8A3B_jpe-2905779.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/240604/E2A42DAB-957D-4814-8423-9886D1997BF4_jpe-2905782.JPG View Quote Moar GT40 pics plz |

If it has to be a car I’ve only owned one so a Subaru Impreza. If it’s any 4 wheeled vehicle I think my Excursion is the fastest. Only thing remotely fast I’ve owned is motorcycles the fastest of which is a Speed Triple.

Peak Sports Car for me until I win the MegaMillions and get the Bugatti. 1972 911 Targa |

Fastest, probably my 70 Cougar with a stout 363 Windsor in her. She had a 150 mph speedo that got routinely buried on the Courtney campbell and Howard Frankland bridges.
Quickest, probably my 93 Fox body LX that bent the body and cracked the rear side window on a hard launch 1993 fox fun in Parking lot |

Quoted: Mine actually has one built in (it was an option in certain trims - mine is a GT Premium with the Track Pack). It'll show G-forces, too. I've just never actually used it to measure my 1/4 mile time (and even if I did, I have to imagine doing it an an actual drag strip would be more accurate anyway - and safer). In it's current state of tune with the modifications it has, it's probably a 12.9 second car on sticky enough drag radials. In really good weather. On a great surface, with a really good launch. With perfect shifts. But that's only a guess, based on other people's timeslips with similar modifications. The only way to know, would be to run it down a track. And I just never have. On the street with the Pilot Sport A/S4+ tires it's currently wearing, I'd guess its in the low 13s somewhere. View Quote |

Probably a tie between:
2022 Dodge Challenger R/T - was doing 0-60 runs in 5.1 seconds 2002 Subaru WRX - Modified "Stage 2" about 280 hp. |

Back in the 80's it would have been my 1971 440 Satellite
Now it's my Audi S5 |

Quoted: Bought a 95 Z28 new in 95. Ordered it with body color mirrors/roof, z rated gatorbacks, and 6-spd. Had Hennessey add some goodies and it was quick for the time but my brother's carb'd NA 68 Camaro with a well built 355 ci kicked my ass all over the place . The Z28 had so much flex that I thought the dashboard would come loose during hard launches. Guessing Op's had frame connectors with that much juice. View Quote For that generation F-body, welded in subframe connectors and a strut tower brace were pretty much mandatory if you wanted to make serious power, or even just tighten up the frame to improve road course handling. |

1968 Firebird 400, M21, 3.55 posi.0-60 around 7 seconds. Only had it to 120 as it literally felt like the wheels were floating after every bump.
1988Turbo T-Bird was at 140 with about 750 rpm left. Figured 155ish if i had continued to push it. Maybe Triple double nickel if lucky. |

He was only in his early 20s. I can remember thinking to myself that I would have some cool stuff, no matter how hard I had to work for it. |

Foxbody & Turbo neon were about the fastest cars
Bikes, on the other hand... |
|
Nothin' special.... '73 Monte Carlo with the 454/Quadrajet/dual exhaust setup. It'd scoot along pretty good.

View Quote Actually the car was "fairly" stock overall. The motor had a CAI, LT headers with exhaust, MSD distributor and deleted emissions. Swapped in a TH350 with a 2,8k converter and put 3.73's in the stock 7.5. Suspension was completely stock. The car was a fairly rare stripped down hardtop which made it a bit lighter than normal F-bodies. Oh, and then there was the 150 plate kit on it. |

Veloster Turbo. Got rid of it because the DCT sucked donkey balls, but that little turbo would scoot when it cooperated.

Acceleration or top speed?
Fastest accelerating car I ever owned was a 1969 Grand Prix SJ ...... had a 390hp 428, 4 speed, and a 3:73 rear ....... It was brutally fast Highest top end was an '85 BMW Alpina B7 Turbo ..... bought it in Oakland,CA in 1994 Got up to almost 160 on the drive home to Florida ..... and it still had more to give |

I wouldn't know. I never bought a car because it was the fastest at anything

Had a 2.0l swapped and boosted integra back in the day, walked a few corvettes pretty good.
Tuned ninja 636 was probably the fastest thing I’ve owned |
