by **t1MMy** » April 8th, 2009, 10:35 am

Mates 1989 Honda CRX sleeper that kills everything in its path. So fast you can't hep but burst into laughter.

Got the inspiration from this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzP-etuL6Y8

my falcon

seriously? ive never been in any cars apart from mine and my parents over the years, dads always had 4WD's mums had her 96 bluebird for the last bloody however years, since brand new, and still brand new, not even 50 thousand on the clock

but anyway, my falcon

by **BLC** » April 8th, 2009, 10:55 am

Mates supercharged VT Senator is pretty impressive, ~250rwkw with heaps of torque. Another mate has an S15 200sx with heaps of grunt, he runs some S14 5sp instead of the newer 6sp box, apparently they're stronger. It's fair quicker than the Senator.. :shock:

Guy I used to work with had a blown AU1 XR8, amazingly quick. He was adamant it was over 450rwhp, and I don't doubt it.

by **BLKPHN** » April 8th, 2009, 11:03 am

Hmm my old car 375rwkw or my mate VE calais. 400rwkw

by **ClassicAU** » April 8th, 2009, 11:23 am

Probably would have to be my car before I took the kit off. I don't get out much!

by **juiceman** » April 8th, 2009, 12:28 pm

The fastest car is a mates RS500 Sierra Cosworth. At the time it had 521hp at the rears with the standard T04 they come with. Now he's got a 3 bar map sensor and GT30, dunno how much power it makes, but it's absurd, and I want it.

The most powerful is the car I went to my grade 12 formal in, 550ish hp XY Fairmont. Don't have any photo's of it, but it's just your typical looking GT replica.

And one from before it came over to Aus.

I *think* it's got around 300rwkw N/A, revs to about 7000rpm and is very loud, so it felt a lot quicker than Dave's EA even though it was probably around the same.

Disappointing, I wish I'd been in more faster cars. I'm sure when T_Terror gets his Supra going I'll have a new fastest car I've been in

Well my list has changed LOL. My step brother put a blower on his high-comp stroker. Even on 6psi it hammers way way way harder. Ivan finished stage one of the supra. Skating 5th is fun. He's since pulled it down, and stage two is awaiting injectors.

But fastest car is now a 997 Porsche Turbo. Phenomenal. It's not just about power, it's about putting it down.
EDIT: according to mags and all that shit, they do a mid 11 on the 1/4. Not bad for only 480hp at the engine :shock:

by **needfordspeed** » April 8th, 2009, 1:02 pm

Mines changed as well, it'd have to be Tristans F6 **** that was sick

by **stav50** » April 8th, 2009, 1:11 pm

fastest ive bin in is my uncles VE gts, big cam, harrop supercharger twin 3 inch exhaust with decent tune, its got more in it to which is scary. all work done by walkinshaw, fkn beast of a car.
it made 510 rwhp at a dyno day, it won.
walkinshaw says 402 rwkw.

by **nc_lane** » April 8th, 2009, 1:17 pm

Bentley Continental GT
Lambo Galardo
AMG SL 55

not driven at more than 20kmph though... Used to was them in my p/t job a few years ago...

by **hXc_Cam** » April 8th, 2009, 1:30 pm

by **67rce** » April 8th, 2009, 2:59 pm

I change mine to a mates 950rwhp VC Valiant Ute, 11.0@132mph on 255/30/18's.... 526ci Indy Maxx Hemi

by **Rollin** » April 8th, 2009, 5:57 pm

Haha.

67rce - get him to take me for a drive!!

My car is still the fastest I've been in, and a friend of a friends car is line-ball with mine - 426rwhp N/A VT Clubsport, on the roll it's an absolute dead heat between us.

I need a proper exhaust and more boost!

by **Fairmont888** » April 8th, 2009, 6:09 pm

fastest i've been in would have to be rollins :-P

i dont think my ears have ever been the same since

by **bentls** » April 8th, 2009, 6:43 pm

by **LOW_XR** » April 8th, 2009, 7:02 pm

by **Nikk O'lass** » April 8th, 2009, 9:16 pm

so many people with friends relos with tough cars :shock:

My mates R33 GTS-T was damn quick. Another mate had a VU SS with exhaust and a tune, had 330 odd kws and hammered. Turbos are one thing, but V8's are a different thing altogether.

by **Kaddis** » April 8th, 2009, 9:22 pm

Twin turbo V8's are crazy shit.

by **93edxr6** » April 8th, 2009, 11:25 pm

very low 9 second vlt owned buy the guy that owns the pizza shop. coming on to boost in 3rd and having it kick side way on a dry road with slicks is the best thing in the world but after been in that my ed felt like a ride on mower. and a some amg supercharged thing a guy at my work has.

by **Mr. CVE** » April 8th, 2009, 11:53 pm

My old Group A went pretty good. over 500rwkw on BP ultimate fuel.
I built a Pontiac Firebird that made over 520rwkw on low boost, on high boost it flew !! never dynoed it though, spun the blower so hard it dosed !!

by **Steady** » April 9th, 2009, 12:42 am

The bumping of this thread has reminded me that I traded a speedo sender for a ride in the TUFED and I have still yet to claim it.

by **Simon C** » April 9th, 2009, 8:05 am

Quickest car I have been in on the street, a mates 1928 Hotrod. Something over 500hp, but only around 800kg, no roof and a fibreglass shell... yippeee.

Quickest acceleration off the line, my charged V6 gemi, 1.8 60ft :-)

by **Troutman** » April 9th, 2009, 12:55 pm

For me would have to be that blue AU XR6 that dansedgli owned for a time. Amazing piece of machinery.

Can't remember how many rwkw it had though

I don't mind the outside, it wasn't "wogged out" the inside was custom and the dash and console was custom so it looked ok.
