Fastest you can go for £3500

Bang on budget although now sold.
Completely impractical but so humorous.

That being the case it'll need about 2000bhp to crack 17mph with the st aero.
Well I wouldn't go that far but just as with motorbikes, the top speed is very poor in comparison to the 0-60 or 0-100 times. Top speed is about 130mph which is indeed relatively slow but then again, how often do you go above 130mph? T0MMY said:

Honda Integra type R?
Not £3500.However, Civic type r. EP3.
200bhp. 0-60mph = 6.8
30mpg.
Reliable Honda. Cheap parts/repairs compared to Mercedes/Beamers people are recommending.
I'm at the same budget and it is what I will be going for Early next year.

No mention of the truly great Clio 182 ?? Fast , fun and kind of practical and for 3.5k a really nice example can be bagged
They're quick but not fast.Good value for money and great fun though for a every day pocket rocket though.
If 0-60 is what your using as a fast car , ignore the Clio 182 get the smaller 172 cup as its 0-60 is a bit quicker ( if that's important to you)

Got to be a Jaguar XJR.
5.3 seconds to 60MPH with 370BHP and limited to 155MPH. I don’t think you’ll go quicker for this money unless you’re considering bikes and kit cars.
Great cars, I had one (supposedly with a different pulley on the supercharger set up)and do miss it. On a long run (Slovakia and back)at 90-140 leptons it averaged 23 mpg, around the houses it averaged 17 mpg. 5.3 seconds to 60MPH with 370BHP and limited to 155MPH. I don’t think you’ll go quicker for this money unless you’re considering bikes and kit cars.

I'd say that might be true for a lardy tourer or a custard making potato-potato noises, but certainly not of most sporty bikes

he said in comparison to 0-60. Which is true. A veyron has similar 0-60 as a zxr1400 but a top speed 50mph higherEven my FJR1300 with full luggage on will crack 140 and that's no sports bike
Fast straight line or actually fast where it counts?
Bike license and a hypersports/supersports bike would still be your quickest option by a significant margin.
Back to cars, I'm still backing the old Subarau's unless you're going to drive lots of long straight lines at prison speeds.
I seem to recall being able to get to 170 if you slipped the J-Gate, but perhaps I'm remembering things.

One of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-AUDI-S4-QUATTRO-BLU...
I have had two, and loved them both.
Spend the change going to MRC for a health check and a map
