In the dry either of my Caterham R500s. In the wet the 911 Turbo S.
The 911 tt didn't stand a chance of keeping up with the R500(s) on track, but up here in the Highlands, with variable surfaces, wet, dry, and roads that'll allow faster speeds (much faster than the top speed of the Caterham), the turbo s won every time.
Caterham much more fun of course.

Whats the fastest point to point car that YOU have driven, not what is the fastest point to point car.
Yes cars like Evo 9 Gt, Impreza S202, Spec C and type 25 are the ones I'd chose, have driven more powerful and more expensive stuff that would not keep up (eg driving on an unfamiliar twisty/bumpy B road point to point these cars very impressive).Whats the fastest point to point car that YOU have driven, not what is the fastest point to point car.

The simple fact is that because you can see so much more ahead of you, earlier and for further, you are taking much lower risks for the same manoeuvres and pace.
All good points. To add, when cresting a brow (of which there many on our roads) a low-slung car means you're still waiting to see over the crest and if it's clear to get on the power, when cars with higher ride height are disappearing into the distance.The simple fact is that because you can see so much more ahead of you, earlier and for further, you are taking much lower risks for the same manoeuvres and pace.

I'm also slightly disturbed by those who need a paddle shift to drive faster, I'd rather less competent drivers drove slowly.
Fact is MOST paddleshifts ARE faster.GT3 PDK S changes in 9 milliseconds, GT3 RS 6 milliseconds.
- 6ms* ? You really think a pdk box can change gear over 150 times per second?

I'm afraid your all wrong the answer for A & B roads is the usual which is the Ford Transit fitted with the 320bhp 400lbft ecoboost engine you can buy as standard in the US
About 3t in weight. Leaf spring rear end and 97 mph top speed. A stty old Berlingo would be quicker doing to Yodel drops
