What's the most powerful car you have owned?
Discussion
E55.
But it's interesting how the fun a car gives me is almost in inverse proportion to the bhp. Bombing about in my little 500 Twinair (85bhp) is a blast and my old Humber (98 very old horses) never fails to put a smile on my face. Whereas the E55 was wonderful about once every three months. The rest of the time I was backing off or braking the whole bloody time.

Until sprog 5 in 2004 jap import Scooby STi with 360 bhp at the wheels
Until 2009 when petrol prices were hurting my 80 mile each way work trip 402 bhp at rear wheels MG ZT-T SE 260

k me,a 289hp Manta that mustve been interesting!What did that have in it?
Owned quite a few around the same 340-ish mark; BMW M5, 340bhp; Alpina B10 4.6, 340bhp; TVR Griffith 500, 340bhp; Audi S4, 344bhp; and Alpina B10 V8 at 347bhp but I'm hoping to easily clear 400 with the next V12 I buy.
Driven would be a 500bhp+ from a V10 M5 or a Diablo.
