Whats the FASTEST car you've owned.

[SVX92-97]

I know we love our SVX's, but was just wondering what is the Fastest car you've owned. Mine was my 92 Mustang GT 5.0 with lots of mods, and my 93Cobra, all stock except for exhaust, and gears. My 92 GT was a low 12 sec. car, and the cobra a high 12 sec. to low 13 sec. car. Yes I was a gear head from 1992 to 2003, 5.0 mustangs was all I thought about. Subarus were just winter beaters, then I got the SVX bug and Im here to stay. I suppose one day I could own another stang, but the SVX has captured my heart.

I don't really own the corvette, so my SVX is the fastest car I've owned (seeing as it's the only car I've legitimately owned).

[Myxalplyx]

My Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon (Autotranny). My life sucks!!

[shelfy]

my guess it it would be teh forester 2.5xt. it feels faster than the legacy 2.5gt.

Probably my 96 Camero police interceptor. I picked it up at auction. I was 20 when I had that car, and its a wonder I didn't kill myself with it. No idea on quarter mile, but probably mid 12 seconds.

Second would probably be my '67 Chevy II Nova SS. Big Engine, Little Car, two speed transmission.

Then an 03 Dodge Ram 2500 turbo diesel, 305 HP, 555 ft lbs. Deceptively fast.

Then my 66 Mercury Comet Cyclone

Then my 00 Ford F250 V10

Then my SVX.

My 1994 svx.

That would definitely be the gearing and the Impreza body weight vs. Leggy body... I went for a testdrive in one when they came out back in 2003 and with 5 people in the car it was chirping the tires on acceleration through 1st gear!!

Cars owned: (fastest to slowest)
- 1999 Mustang Cobra convertable (Owned for a whopping 3 months)
- 1995 Subaru SVX (before and after the tranny swap)
- 2001 Mazda Miata SE
- 1989 Chevrolet Z-24 (My first car)
- 1998 Jeep Cherokee ("Stalker" for those of you that remember back then )
- 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel 4-speed (Faster only because you had to shift less)
- 1981 VW Rabbit Diesel 5-speed (2nd car, "The Chaquita Mobile")

Cars Driven: (Fastest to slowest)
- Friend's 11 second drag WRX STI (Scary is the only way to describe it)
- Friend's 2003 Mustang Cobra (550+WHP)
- Friend's 2002 Corvette Z-06 (Somewhere around 420 WHP)
- My 1999 Cobra
- Dad's 1999 Subaru WRX STi (In Australia)
- Countless WRX's and STi's that I've Autocrossed over the years

WOW... looking at all of those I really feel like I am getting old ... Alot of time has passed since I bought that Z-24. Or changed the headgasket on my FIRST VW Rabbit Diesel. Or made the terrible mistake of purchasing a 1999 Cobra and then not being able to afford it. Still, after all of that, the one car that I will always love, the one car that still makes me feel like a little kid when I see it is the SVX... I guess that means that it is LOVE huh?

My fastest car was a VAN. 66 Dodge A-100. ( former telephone truck)

I, shall we say, RADICALLY modified it. 155 mph, all day long if you wanted.
I sold it after a really wild weekend, never to own one again.

Yea, that was the idea.
Since then, I radically modified another 66 A-100, but it's not that fast. It is more geared to 'Quick'. 413 Chrysler, Hemi clutchpack 727, GM 12 bolt rear w/3:56 gears, M-50, 15 rear tires, big tube Hookers, Crane cam, windage tray, Holly 'tricky kit' in the carb, advance curve kit in dist, TRW Clevite bearings, Chrome molly rings, high volume oil pump that produces 90 psi, ( due to the new and improved pressure spring) I have to check the oil filter to make sure it doesn't push the tin cover off and let the oil escape.

It isn't all that fast, but will carry the front wheels about 50 ft from a 20 MPH roll.

It will be reborn as a truck-pull specimin, since it hooks too hard for the blacktop and has a tendency to spray parts all over the blacktop.

Making about 475 ponys on pump gas and trying to put them ALL on the ground. Might have to 'boost' it to play in the dirt.
