What is the fastest car you have been in ?
What is the fastest car you been in without getting the chance to drive it ? Please mention it even if it is slower than the fastest car you have driven.

For me, Well the fastest car i have driven is the Diablo SE30 with the Jota kit (600 bhp)..but what about the fastest car i have been in but only on the passenger seat ? Can't remember. ohh why do i have to come up with these difficult questions? Its all my fault!!...can i erase the question ? NO..oh well..here goes...Thinks...thinks....scratches head..Could it be the Porsche 944 turbo when i was a kid?...12 i think i was then...That car was really quick and made me freak out !! ..I have been in a e34 M5 but i drove that car...cousin's modena..nope i drove it and made circles around it with my Diablo His old F355 ? drove that too.... Oh man....OK i got it...This is final wooooweeee... I have been in a friend's 2WD diablo and i never got a chance to drive it... I got it... i can sleep peacefully now

hmm.. well.. they're close enough though... as I said, I've sat in the McLaren F1 in the McLaren showroom in London a long time ago... I wonder if the showroom and the F1 is still in there....

Fastest, .. Without ever driving it.. Ok lemme break this one down... m, ok this is really really really tough!

Fastest w/o driving:
1993 Mercedes 500SEL. That car sucked dino-juice like there was no tomorrow! Wow, this really took a long time. It was my grandmother's car, she took it to 120MPH once with me! Dont mess with grammy, she will make you eat road dust!

1st Runner-up:
Black M5s Diablo, I have heard it on a long distance phone call, does that count? I even have a magazine article and poster of his car! Hell, I even have handled the ECU, hahah!

2nd Runner-up:
ALX's bone stock M5!! That car is a monster! He gotta do something to it before it runs away from him!!

Rocket,

Nice one in grammy's car huh ?

Tfung,

Sitting in a car in the showroom doesn't count. A car that you have been taken for a spin in but without getting a chance behind the steering wheel.

Bart,

Even a bus counts ! Anything
