I have had my share of cars and my fastest was def my trans am. I later got a prelude which was quick, I knew it was nowhere near as fast as my trans am but it was a good compromise as I could drive it in the winter too. Then I got a motorcycle and nothing with 4 wheels is fast anymore, period.

but you leave out the 1/8th mile part when you're telling people, right?

'My car runs low 11s' The. End.

Going on a "fun run" and watching the Ruf Turbo R walk away from me in my 996C2 on a straight away on a mountain run. My pedal was on the floor and he just left me like the fat chick at the bar. I could catch up on the twisty's but was SOL on the straights. GT3 or GT2 for me now.............well, not now but next.

My A4 is the fastest car I've owned. I'd never say it's slow. Sure it's no 700hp vette, but I'm not looking to drag or do 100+mph, this isn't a racetrack. And all cars do 60mph at the same rate.

And when did you realize the 944 was slow? I realized my old Civic was slow when I could get to 60mph just as fast in my Grand Cherokee....
