As above, what's yours?

Mine - Subaru Imprexa WRX - 227bhp

The fastest car I have driven was a Ferrari 355 but the most powerful either a Dodge Ram 1500 Sport (5.7 V8 Hemi) or a Cadillac Escalade/GMC Sierra Denali with the 6.2 V8 (both about 400bhp I think).

2001 Jag XJR (with supercharger pulley upgrade and sports exhaust) 421bhp @ fly.

Lovely cruiser, but no fun on country lanes.

Hiya - was this paramount or racing green?
I've not seen many others make that @ the fly without more than just the pulley

My B7 RS4 was technically the most powerful with 420 BHP. In reality, my Tuscan was quicker (in a straight line at least) and was over 400 BHP when dynoed.

My current car - my Peugeot 406 Coupe with the 2.2 4cyl petrol - 160 HP, but it seems to have plenty of fizz, and the Powerflow exhaust makes a damn good noise for a 4cyl. Also far more reliable a car than most people attribute to a French marque. And the rear seats are usable by adult human beings in full possession of both of their legs. And the boot is big enough. A lot of car for the money.

I've driven a Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari 360, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, and an Audi R8 though (two different supercar driving experience days).

I beat that! Mk4 golf with a whole 110 bhp followed by a 1.5 diesel clio with 85 bhp and now a courtesy corsa 1.4 with 70 bhp. I seem to be going backwards as time goes on. The joys of being young and paying through the nose for insurance.. rolleyes

my B5 RS4 was about 440bhp but my B5 S4 was 620nm and would do 100-120 in 5 seconds in top gear (on track) which back then was bonkers (i think lambos at that time only had 640nm)
