Default Fastest car you've owned.

Okay so I wanna know what's the fastest car you've owned. The fastest one I've owned was a 95 Z28. Black, T-tops, with automatic tranny. The friend I bought it from said it would run solid 8.90s in the 1/8 mile all day long on the cheap 245's that were on it when I had it. I never got around to racing it at the track to confirm this. They also said they've had it over 150mph a few times. I never had the guts to take it over 100mph.

It had the LT1 with a Flowmaster muffler, K&N cold air intake, and JET Stage 2 chip. I also ran Royal Purple in the rear end and Mobile 1 full synthetic in the engine.

Cars I owned with it: 2 Vettes(one Stingray), a VERY modified turbo MR2, and a civic. I probably had a couple others in there but I can't remember them.

well i have owned two trucks and one Jeep grand cherokee. The fastest would most likely be the jeep or my current silverado. I have never really been into cars. but i would love to have on old muscle car. Mostly a 69 mustaing. or a charger. that would be awsome.

Well as far as street car it would have to be my Olds Cutlass It had a 350 rocket from a 72 Cutlass. I had alot in it, went thew a few trans and one drive shaft it twisted like a candy cane. I had to put a cage in to run it at the strip. So I gutted it all out and put a stainless dash in fuel cell, racing seats, some other things but I also drove it every day. It had duel Holley 650s on a huge intake. I had to cut the hood and put on a scoop. And then I got hooked on nos! I still have the stock rocket valve covers with the rock engraved in them. But thats it

Um, the Nissan was the easiest "Fast Cruiser”. I could easily cruise 115-120 on the highway with her. I removed the gear position sensors on 4th and 5th gear, JET Performance Module, Home made 3" aluminum intake with velocity stack (Filter sat over stack), 2.5" exhaust made a straight as possible with no resonator and a 2.5" inlet, 3" outlet stainless rice cannon. I removed the belt fan for electric ones and ran rally lights on her.

The quickest? Well my 99’ I think is the quickest on acceleration after the Predator. Before the Predator my 91” might have nabbed the 99’ up to 50 mph or so.

Well I have owned a lot of cars in my time, most of which I bought and sold before I was 18. Cali DMV was threatening me to have to get a dealers licenece. The only thing that saved me was that I wasn't 18 yet. Here is the list from what I can remember.

'66 Dodge Dart station wagon
'74 Chevy Blazer K-5 (Full top)
'80 Chevy Blazer K-5 (Half top)
'86 Chevy S-10 P/U
'86 Chevy Camero (2.8L V-6)
'78 GMC Jimmy Lifted w/33's
'87 Chevy S-10 Blazer (2 door)
'71 VW Super Beetle
'86 Chevy Camero Z-28 (305 ci. N/AW/5 speed)-Probably the fastest car I owned.
'89 Ford Ranger 2wd w/body lift and 32's
Turned 18!
'98 Chevy K1500 EX cab 4x4*
'03 Pontiac Sunfire (Wifes)
'02 Chevy Tracker
'88 Chevy Camero (350ci W/ auto, but really bad condition)
'89 Kawasaki EX500 Ninja
'06 Suzuki Boulavard C50*
'89 Nissan P/U 4x4
'03 Cadillac CTS*

I think there might be one or two more in there somewhere. But that is the list. Currently I only own the Silvy, the Caddy along with the Suzuki.

wow that's a lot of cars... i think my 96 grand cherokee with the 318 and all time 4wd would stomp my truck from 0-30 ish but then my truck would take over... i've also had a 96 s10 with the 4.3, the jeep, a ranger with a 3.0 (i think), a 2003 blazer (see pics of the custom roof mod in pics of your ride) and now my truck...

My first truck was a 2000 Silverado witha 5.7. We bought the truck in Mexico wit no types of government regulations and no torque management.I tried toregister in Cali but to much money toput thesmog system stuff in it. All I had was a flowmaster and would easily cruise at 110mph.
