Had a chance to take my Dad's ZR1 out a while back.

107 degree heat, weak launch.

Its a tie-Ferrari F-40, back when they were new. never got it over 50, but at 202mph top speed, the fastest production car of the time.
96 viper coupe - topped at 90 but again, 202mph top speed.

Fastest I've driven? 160 in an old, beat up Datsun 280zx. scary..........!

The fastest was a Ferrari Testarossa!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Testarossa

Back in the 80's a friend of mine bought one (gray market euro car) and we went out and did some passes at the local I-80 clover leaf. This thing was fun.
 
The quickest thing I ever drove was my Kawasaki H2 750cc 2 stroke.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_triple
It would make a 1/4 mile pass so quick you couldn't hold onto it. I modded it extensively. I cut everything off of it that didn't make it go fast put expansion chambers on it and wiesco pistons, ported and polished the intake and exhaust. I sold it after flipping it on a launch. Damn thing almost killed me. My brother had the H1 500cc that one was even crazier. The power band was insane, when you hit 4K RPM it would jump to 12K almost instantly.
They wouldn't stop or turn or handle worth a damn but they would fly in a strait line.

rouche mustang my cuz had. It was built like a beast. I forget how much boost it was on but I remember him saying on the 150 shot it was 600-800 hp. Haha the tires were so wide and it still would smoke em all day. Thing was quick. When he took me out for a pass the last time I looked the speedo read 160ish. Pretty sure that day I shit myself.

He picked up so much ass in that car but it only got like 10 mpg lol. Well worth it haha.

I wish I could get a chance to ride in a real sports car. But most of my friends are dsm junkies. So the closest I got was the stang. Second had to have been my buddies beast talon. The launches were insane. I would love to take a ride in a supra. I've gotten to drive the older turbo ones.

1968 Olds Delta 88. Highly modified 455  :D  Built the crap outta it, had plans to supercharge it but it all when south when I went to drag race  :( . It was a grand way to blow the motor though haha, the thing was a massive low end torque monster. With slicks on it, it did wheelies. Fastest I had it goin on a 1/4 mile was 12.9 seconds at 145mph. It would have been able to get alot better times if I didnt still have the stock rear end with a fairly weak gearing. I miss that car.

Webster says the definition of Insane is: 1. not ane' not of sound mind; mentally deranged. 2. characteristic of a person who is mentally deranged: insane actions; ie...driving a ford festiva 155mph. 3. set apart for the care and confinement of mentally deranged persons: insane asylum.  4. utterly senseless; an insane attempt [> L 1. lunatic, crazed, crazy; maniacal.  See mad.  4. foolish, irrational. <]

My 09 Mini Cooper S tops out at 142mph.  That is flipping fast in a Festiva.

I'm jealous of the Ferrari driver.  The noise Ferrari makes is just nuts.

I'm going with a Mustang.  1991 with a BIG smallblock, say 1100HP on the bottle.  Though, I don't own the car.
