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

I think the De Lorean would take that one quite easily. Be there and back before the others even left.

Very good

[V6Alfisti]

Not a chance, the cars change all the time here being in centralish London.

Three 911's of various guises parked in a row next to each other, one is a Turbo.

A couple of V8 Range Rovers.

AMG 63S is a permanent feature

Quite often a GT3/M3 is seen on the street (not sure if visiting) or temporary parking before moving to secure.

A Ferrari F8 was here for a few days a month ago.

My 12 year old 911 barely get's noticed (fine by me) , but still surrounded by all the usual hatch backs and micro cars. Standard London fare.

We're on a country road so fairly long with some interesting houses and cars and I definitely dont have the fastest.

It's taken me 12 years of nosing, chatting stopping and asking to find out that there are at least the following:-

DB11 and DBX
Reanult Alpine GTA
2 Sunbeam Alpines 1964 and 1967 (owned by the same guy)
My E92 M3 and M Roadster
Senna and 720s (not at the same time)
MK1 Escort RS2000 (owned from new)
Tesla Model S
Tesla Model X

I'm sure ther's more to be discovered....

In the last house, I was definitely the winner.

But in the new place, there is one neighbour around the corner who seems to always have something special on his driveway.
I have never seen it as a competition and generally buy cars based on how they make me feel when I drive, rather than what other people own.

Yes, with Mk3 TT RS. Although I think I have a few neighbours that wouldn't know/believe it - one with a 996 Carerra 4S, and on with a 135i that I both think would believe are quicker... but they're not!

You need to give Ian at Area Six Developments a call if you want to absolutely destroy the competition.

[The Dictator]

No next door has a 650BHP GTR, there is a C43 convertible a few doors down too.

But as someone else said, sound is important and my 5.0 V8 with custom exhaust, takes me nearer the top of that list.

[Mark-C]

My XJS is longest and lowest car on the street (19th century terraced cul-de-sac) but I imagine at least some of the modern but mundane stuff around is probably faster.

[Mr Roper]

Only by a slight whisker....I drive a Ford Ranger and my wife has a pokey Fiat 500. Trailing last but not far behind is our ride on mower.

If we lived on a street it would be a no without even looking.

[RazerSauber]

I actually suspect I am. There's a Cooper S that might give me a run for my money as my cars aren't particularly fast and that's the only noteworthy car on my road. I suspect my Transit Sport would make the podium on my street, put it that way.

There's a few posers, a CLA 180 driven by a youth, a 318i that seems to come and go and a rather nice looking Laguna coupe but it has the dismal clatter of a diesel under the bonnet.

[donnydave]

I have the double crown of both the fastest and the slowest car. 383 SBC Dax cobra kit car and..... k11 micra

Probably have all sorts of top trump wins, highest single car BHP, highest collective driveway BHP, highrst single car displacement, highest collective driveway displacement, highest single car and total number of cylinders, lowest car (ground clearance) lowest car (overall height), loudest car, I also have a pulsar gtir so I'm only house to have fwd, 4wd and rwd

Also got widest tyres (285 cobra rear) and narrowest tyres (155 micra)

Micra wins oldest car in my street and next 2 streets with 96 P reg.

Closest competition for fastest is probably really nice 330ci just down the next street

Had some quite quick cars but now have a Tesla P100D... so unless somebodies squirreling away a top spec supercar I'm top dog (to 60 mph anyway).

[TurboHatchback]

No, my mighty 148bhp Octavia TDI probably isn't faster than the Mk2 Supra automatic down the road. There's a current model C-class which is probably also quicker but I'd be in with a chance of 3rd place.

[lornemalvo]

I do, but as I'm not eight years old, I've never thought about it

But you obviously did to post in this thread, so you are 8 years old?

[Harry Flashman]

I did, but then a neighbour went and bought a Ferrari FF recently. Git. I want that car - gorgeous.

I live in London, but not in a prime area, so whilst there are some nice cars about, it's not as common to see a line of 911s and Astons parked along the road as it is a couple of miles away in, say, Clapham.

We live on the most boring street in the country so I genuinely believe we might have the fastest four cars on the street. There’s some amazing stuff elsewhere in our village though.

Not even close

488, M5 Comp, new Quattroporte, Gallardo, ML63 and a few other random bits.

I do get compensashun in the form of noise though

A new neighbour has just moved in with a C63 and an old classic Mustang (not fast, but pretty cool).

This thread gives a whole new meaning to keeping up with the Joneses (literally).

[DomesticM]

The only other vaguely interesting car down my road is a Mk8 Fiesta ST so for now my Megane remains the fastest.

[Jefferson Steelflex]

Not sure if my 997 Turbo would beat my neighbours McLaren 570, but as he never drives it i’d say i win by default.
