Hmmm hard topic! I work as a valet friday nights in the north end, I drive so many cars but here goes from what I have driven

Audi S8 (now I know why Ronin is a great movie!)
subaru Svx ( my own)
94 Taurus SHO (previous car)
Porshe Cayenne turbo (wow! was that fun and it almost took my job!)
And the BMW 540 (hoping to drive an M5 soon:D )

[nordique14]

Here's the highest hp cars I've driven:
1. BMW M3 - 333hp
2. Pontiac Firebird Firehawk -320hp
3. Mitsu 3000GT VR4 - 280-300hp?
4. Chevy Camero IROC - 275hp
5. Pontiac Bonneville SSEi - 240hp

Although those cars were fun, the rides weren't that memorable. You know why? Because the 0-60 run was over too quick. Not enough time to enjoy it. On the other hand, I remember every infuriatingly slow car I've very driven. Some are even the cause of reoccurring night terrors. To my everlasting shame, I even owned one of these cars. I'm not proud. I will immortalize them now, counting down to the least hp car I've ever driven:

5. '89 Chevy Tracker 4WD - 80hp, hard top model with auto trans. 0-60 in 13sec (with a good tail wind).
4. '90 Honda Civic base model -- 70hp. thankfully it has a stick shift. 0-60 in 0-60 in 'Are we there yet?'
3. '82 Chevy Chevette - 68 furious hp, auto trans, no power steering or brakes (or windows, locks, etc). 0-60 in 'Did that tractor just pass us?'
2. '81 Chevy Citation - 67 rip-snortin' hp, auto trans, same engine (I think) as the Chevette, but in a heavier car. Oh, the humanity! 0-60 in 'Are we moving or is that just my life passing me by?'
1. '85 Hyundai Pony (found only in the wide open fields of Canada) - estimated 55 glorious hp, auto trans. It had a manual choke for Pete's sake. 0-60 in 3.5 days.

I've never had the misfortune of driving the 3-cylinder Geo Metro or any of the under powered cars found in Europe and Asia, but I'm betting the Pony would give them a run for their money (so to speak).

Cheers,
Matt

98? mercedes benz sl 600 AMG V12 roadster convertible

Isnt it amazing that people will trust a 120,000 car with a 20 year old kid, it was such a tease I took the car to seventy and it felt like it was sleeping waiting to wake up at 140 or something . I felt like a god for the 15 mins I was in that car! Not to mention the looks from the girls, had to hide the boston valet shirt in the backseat:p

[elninoalex]

1. 69 Camaro SS- 425hp
2. Subaru SVX- 340hp
3. BMW 740i(modded)- 300+hp
4. Infinit Q45- 280hp
5. BMW 740i- 278hp


GEEZ, now I feel old.:D

[SVXdriver_007]

1. 89 Mustang LX 400+ hp (very scary and very ugly, but very fast) friends car (mustang junkie/tuner/machinist

2. 88 Ford Ranger GT well over 300HP. Had a built 5.0 stuffed into it (see mustang junkie/tuner/machinist friend). That thing was scary fast if you could keep the back end on the ground (wich I wasn't very good at), sitting in neutral give it gas and the whole thing rocked. even at the immortal age of 17 there was many a time when I was going so fast in this truck I was frightened (very light car with a speedo that stopped at 85 while the needle just sat buried and occasionaly bounced. I think this was that fastest car I owned.

3. 94?(whatever year the new body design was)Toyota Supra TT 320? (I guess I could look it up). My step brother *ahem* borrowed it from the owner under the guise of detailing it. I ran that car at 125 down King St in lancaster PA (once again at the immortal age of 17) it was a 25mph zone.

4. 92 SVX 230hp yeah you know the deal with this one.

5. 93 Eclipse GST 210? hp The nice thing about this car is that it was badged as a GS and that is what the insurance company thought it was. It also had a touring wing and the pop-up lights.

Then there was that little beast of a car the 2001 Mazda Miata Special Edition that I took to Reading this year... That was one hell of a fun little car, but the best by far was my dad's 1999 Version 6 WRX in Australia... I drove it back in 1999 when he first bought it... He didn't have it when I went back this past year.... Sold it for a down payment on a flock of sheep for the farm and a 1970 something Toyota Landcruiser... I nearly cried... He said that he is getting too old for it's power and wants to concentrate on the farm... That's cool, I'll just have to get one when I move back over there...:):D:cool:

Yea kinda ****ty, but my dad looks at it from a profit standpoint... The sheep are Spanish Marino's or something... They have some of the finest wool in the world and are used to make those Italian suits... So there's a profit there :) I can understand... Besides he had the car for a few years... Much more and it would start giving him problems, as older cars do....

[John19688]

Not sure of HP ratings but here's some fast car's I've driven:

Definitely #1: 1994 Dodge Viper (my dad's)

1984 Corvette (dad's)

1972 Camaro Z28 RS (my brother's)

1986 BMW 635 (dad's)

2003 BMW Z4 (test drive)

How much HP in a 1973 Cadillac convertible? I know it had a 504 cubic inch engine. Big car...horn sounds like a diesel train's and it idled at 30 mph. (also dad's)

Place my 1994 SVX where ever appropriate.

[GreenMarine]
