What's the most powerful car you have owned?

[LukeR94]

Owned - Astra VXR 236 Bhp

Havent driven anything faster ......

[Bebee]

1995 Griffith 500 hc

[HemiCommander]

The current one, 322bhp from 5.7L of Hemi V8 . It's not the fastest I've owned on paper but being 4x4 and automatic it is extremely easy to use all that power from low speeds, it hurls itself off the line in a comical manner for such a softly sprung brick.

My previous record holder (1988 Mercedes 560 SEC) had trouble putting its power down through the rear wheels. Given that it had 300bhp and 205 width P6000 tyres this was not entirely surprising.

Mk3 seat ibiza cupra. It had an IHI turbo along with a few other hooligan mods and had around 330bhp.

It was too quick for me at the time, I got rid for something more suitable before I lost my license or life (I was only young!).

Current 335d: 286bhp but a dunk said a smidge over 300.

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..

Hmm not sure age can be a deciding factor. I would have 'won' this thread a week ago with my 1.2 60bhp punto... But now I'm perfectly happy in my 158bhp mx-5 I'm struggling not to get myself killed in that though...

[shandyboy]

My first car had a quite scary 50 bhp, my current one has a whole 97.9 of throbbing HP which you really need to experience to errr.... experience. It's quite light though.

[Chris944_S2]

Alpina B10 V8S - 375BHP

[TomCI]

Owned - Evo 6 with an estimated 700bhp at the flywheel but it's never been on the rollers.

Should be circa 550bhp at the wheels ish using the fudge factor.

[sparkyhx]

Owned - 200sx - 320ish/250ish per tonne
Driven - E63 AMG 515bhp
