Do you have the fastest car on your road/street?

Jesus didn’t know the x3m were that fast! I’d like one for a daily/dog carrying how do you find it?
If you're dog is good with teeth chattering suspension, it will be fine!Overall I love it but I waiting for the M3 Touring. It's a decent substitute but don't expect SUV levels of comfort - it's more M3 Comp ride. It's better now with MP4S's though. The ride quality is only really shown up in poor surfaces and more from the booming suspension.
The performance however is epic and many run a simple stage 1 that takes the car to an easily accessible 630-650bhp.
Interior is lovely and it's great to drive - very flat in the corners and the xDrive is very RWD biased. Same 4WD system as the M5, brakes from the M760Li and obviously the new S58 engine from the upcoming G80 M3 and G82 M4.
I live on road that forms quite a large circle, there doesn't seem to much of interest anywhere along it though.
I'd guess my Caterham is the fastest accelerating and the Insignia VXR down the road probably fastest top speed. Apart from that there was an RS4 until recently but nothing else quick by any means.

Don’t know. Don’t care.
Ooo a thread with a subject I don’t care about so I shall enter, scroll through 5 pages to comment that I don’t care... I was trying to work it out, my reclusive neighbour over the lane has some lovely cars which I was mentally ticking off (80s 911, DB4 Vantage, M135i), but I don't think any are _quite_ as quick as my Focus RS 350.
Then I suddenly remembered his Cayenne Turbo.
And his mate down the road with a Ferrari (430?).
My cars have owned my, obviously, cul-de-sac, since I moved here 12 yrs ago.
A V8, then a flat 6 and now a straight 6 have ruled the roost with little competition although one old boy kept a perfect 80s Astra 1.2.
Luckily a monstrous-sounding Mustang lives just further round the village.

There are only about 50 houses in my "Dead End Street" and there is only 1 other petrolhead!
My BMW Z4M Coupe might be, but it all depends what sort of tune the V8 in his GT40 kit-car has!
I've only seen it once a few years ago when he was fettling it for his annual trip to Le Mans, which is how I know it has a V8. The rest of the time it seems to live in the garage.
But I know he is still there as he has the same 2005 V8 Mustang daily on the drive. Which is more powerful than my 2005 BMW 330i but possibly no quicker.
I'd settle for a draw.
