Had many a m3 off the lights and spanked a 911 to 120mph (that may be how I got my points! Luckily I slowed down....he didn't!)
Wish I never had to sell that

Only cars I've driven in anger and mine and the 330d he has at the moment
Alfa 75 or 164 veloccee ? 75 is the old 3:0 v6 beast of the 90's - i loved them when I was in the Alfa garage

Acceleration wise, its gotta be the westfield megabusa we had down the garage, 470kg, 120bhp at the wheel but was a bike engine. Would only do about 130 top end though.
My old scooby which was abotu 380bhp, or my dads mates 430 which we had in to do a service on it, had to take it for a cheeky spin lol - the joys of traders policy aye..

Probably parents old V70R... Didn't feel "FAST", just felt like a turbocharged sofa tbh...
Other than that, probably Darrens car, my car, then a TB'd 106 GTi...

I had an orange supersport and a mk1 xr2 which I put a series 1 RST lump in - that had serious traction issues in all gears in the wet..but in the dry...it was a monster, I miss my mk1's

Not driven many fast cars to be fair....probably my friends Audi TT 225 would be quickest, amd then maybe my old Xsi? My brothers old MX5 was quicker off the mark than the Xsi but had less power so the 306 would reel it in...I now own the slowest car I've driven.....0-60 in 18 seconds and a sub 100mph top speed lol

An RS turbo lump eh? What a beast that would of been - the Mk1 fiesta never handled as well as the mk2 but so much lighter - those were the days eh?

Hmm if for top end it would be a vxr8, it had the n/a mods from walkinshaw or whatever its called. For pure acceleration it would have to be between the wrc cars ive worked on in my old work though most i never drove but got a fair few good runs in.

Soo wana drive 1 of them gokarts! lol anyway I worked 4 the only AC Schnitzer dealer in this part of the country so u can imagen some of the beasts i drove but think the most powerful car I ever drove ther was the 7 series with the twin turbo v12 tuned up 2 the tits! lol such a strange car 2 drive as is like a living room that'll do well over 200mph! Althogh I didn't do anywhere near that init lol then a completely non standard 911 turbo which I touched 190mph in :-S f*ckin shat myself! lol was 1 of the first people 2 drive a new m3 (the v8) and then tune the absolute crap out of it ! God I loved that job lol got 2 drive a AMG Merc C class and a Audi S4 the other day @ my new work just wish I cud afford um myself lol

Quickest car I've driven was my cousin's Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4WD when I passed my test, as a congratulation and a birthday present he took me to Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds and let me loose with it...400bhp when you have just passed your test is a little bit intimidating, but so f*cking cool when you look at your speedo and it's reading 165!!!
A few weeks later though he decided to put it through someone's garden wall not too bad though he replaced it with a Cosworth RS500 3dr on a D plate, then he added another Sapphire Cosworth this time a RWD, and then spent £12,000 on a pristine alpine white Escort Cosworth, still has all 3 but the 3dr is being restored!

My gaffa's got a C reg 323 turbo 4x4 that's pretty rapid. Fully stripped out ect.
Fastest for me is my pals Astra van c20let Saab injectors big turbo massive front mount ect 288bhp. I had it for a month as a stop gap car. It sounded like a aeroplane. Raced a clio cup 200. Spat a massive flame out of the side exit on the redline between 2nd-3rd clip backed off then haa.
