Fastest accelerating car I have ever had the pleasure of riding in was a big block '70 Pontiac GTO. Not stock, of course. I'll take the 5th on top speed, but I will say it was a Merc S600.
Fastest I have Ridden in? Well...I drove an Enzo, but never rode in it as a passenger...so that doesnt count. That would make Armen's 575M the fastest car I have ridden in...Felt like it too
I went around the block in a Diablo like 8 years ago. But, the fastest car I ever rode in is a 550. The fastest car I have driven is a 355. Erik
Well,when I was 7,(in 1967). One of the guys that worked for my Grandfather bought a brand new Plymouth GTX with a 426Hemi in it. That thing plastered you to the seats. Very fast. And,I used to have an '81 'Vette with a 383 stroker,Tunnel Ram with Dual Quads,2400 Stall speed and 4:88 Rear end (before I got my Ferrari) that was pretty fast. Almost 600 HP on the Dyno... That thing would haul ass from Gas Station to Gas station.(But,only would run on 100 Octane gas which was about $3.50/Gallon then.) And,120MPH on my old 1975 Kawaski Z1-B 900 with a 1013cc kit,about 20+ years ago. Had to slow down because I was starting to get peeled off the bike.....Yikes! I cringe when I think about it. Reckless Youth....
155mph in my Modena. It was still climbing fairly quickly but my fear of getting caught won over my curiosity to see if it would reach the claimed top speed of 185mph.
Allan, that picture is awsome! I take it that is you in the captain's seat? Fastest car driven/ridden: '00 550 Fastest I've been: '81 500 SEL Euro
Hey man, it shows 185. I did not say I was clocked at that speed. It's most likely off by 10miles at least I guess.
