What's the quickest car that you have ever ridden in?

TJR · 02-04-2002, 07:20 PM

I guess mine would be a 1994 Viper RT/10 (only 300 miles on the odometer). It definitely had a lot of torque.

Fox Body · 02-04-2002, 07:38 PM

A '63 Impala. Did low 8s in the 1/8 mile.

Actually, my car is the second "quickest" car I've ever ridden in. Guess I need to get out more, huh.

7DMACH1 · 02-04-2002, 08:41 PM

10 second 1/4 mile. RAY

90'5.0 Conv · 02-04-2002, 09:05 PM

I really need to get out!! The quickest I had been in was my 1st stang. Never got it to the track to see how quick it was because I wrecked it after only owning it 3 mos.( damn positrac) Anyways, all I can tell you is, it would put some G's on you when you stomped on it. Man, I miss that car

my car...... or not. actually, i rode in my friends 70(?) nova with a healthy 383 this summer. he claims 11's but hasn't raced it yet. all i know is if that's what an 11 sec car feels like, i won't be happy until i have a ride pushing low 10's.

Rebel79 · 02-04-2002, 09:56 PM

Mine.

tireburner163 · 02-04-2002, 10:03 PM

89 Notch, mid 8's in the 1/4. Light went green, hammer went down, wheels went up, and I about **** in my pants.

fiveohpatrol · 02-04-2002, 11:09 PM

lol, tireburner i like how you said that.

I've been told i can have a ride in 302man's very low 10second blown coupe. That is, if he ever gets it back together

Coupe Devil · 02-04-2002, 11:29 PM

The fastest car I ever rode int was a 70's Dodge Aspen. Wnt 6.94 in the 1/8th with a small block. I didnt get ro run it but just warm it up a little. It freakin rocked. Heres the car but i'm not driving.

TJR · 02-05-2002, 12:18 AM

Hey PKRHEAD err....I mean PKRWUD, have you ever driven that sprint car you work on?

Tony Frank · 02-05-2002, 12:28 AM

I drove a viper RT/10 and was nothing compared to my cousins 2000 porsche 911 turbo, i drove it for an hour for my graduation present from him.

TJR · 02-05-2002, 12:46 AM

Now that's a graduation gift!

BTW, what year was the Viper?

Old Guy with 87 GT · 02-05-2002, 01:05 AM

when i was like sixteen i got to ride in a 427 'ac cobra'........
i didn't know the guy so i have have no idea if it was an origanal or a replica .....the guy said it was a real one ,but i didn't know enough to know if he was lying or not........i didn't even know the guy and it was like luck that i got the ride..........it was like in the late eightys and i was walking to work ,i saw this ac cobra sitting outside a mini market ......i stopped to look at it .......well when the guy came out of the store......i told him i liked his car and made a comment as sort of a joke about catching a ride........well he said "hope in".....to my amazment ,he was seriose and we went for a quick little ride.......

he didn't go real fast but he did goose it once.....the thing about snaped my neck .........was a real cool experience i'll never forget.........whether it was an origanal 427 ac cobra probly not.....but i like believing it was .......and who know's maybe it was

6T9PONY · 02-05-2002, 01:40 AM

Mine.....and mine's not very fast.......

joe4speed · 02-05-2002, 01:55 AM

A 1979 Chevy Monza with a 350 and nitrous!

It ran 11's last I knew... I was petrified the way that thing rattled and shaked at 140!!! But I loved it! I'll have to post a pic sometime! Te guy that owned it, got me into cars, he taught me ALOT!

RadialPrincess · 02-05-2002, 10:14 AM

The fastest car I've ever ridden in is Tom Moore & Dennis Lugo's Outlaw ride. It's been 8.07 @ 174.

The fastest car I've driven is Dennis Lugo's Twin Turbo car. It's been 8.30 @160, but I couldn't get it to quit spinning tires.

My car has been 9.80 @ 140, and that's pretty much the fastest I've been in my own car...

95mustanggt · 02-05-2002, 11:06 AM

Hammer's Yellowjacket. That car hauls. He just needs some traction. I bet with slick it would be a high 11 low 12 second car.

mustangdani55 · 02-05-2002, 11:40 AM

For me that would have to be a '70 mercury Cyclone Spoiler GT/ 429 scj.
It was so fast I couldn't handle it. And I drove the racecar cause I always turned better times than him..but I made him sell it and get me something I could handle.. It was way too powerful, and I'm not scared to drive any racecar.

stanger8172 · 02-05-2002, 11:48 AM

My brother Steve's '70 Pontiac Firechicken with a 400 motor. I was only 13 at the time and he scarred me for life when he nailed it from a roll. I don't remember what gears he said he had but he had dumps on Thrush mufflers and that thing was LOUD, sounded mean as hell too.

stanger8172 · 02-05-2002, 11:53 AM
