Do you have the fastest car on your road/street?
Discussion
No. Not by a long way.
There’s an MK Indy, Nova rally car with 226bhp and sequential box, 991.2 GT3, Impreza CS400, tuned MK1 focus RS, Sherwood BDG engined MK2 escort rally car, red top Nova and 2 white transit vans. There is also a 600+bhp cosworth engined rallycross fiesta that could be considered as being on my road.
I do have a track bike though which would likely beat them all in a drag race(except the fiesta) if I had the talent to be able to launch it off the line!
I am literally the poorest person on this road.

Not even close ... in our small close (34 houses) we have a 458 speciale, a modified GTR, a murcialago, a couple of M2 competitions, RS5, RS6, RR SVR and then a load of other fast German stuff
My 3 pot octavia doesn’t come close

No, the lad at the end of the road has a golf R. It’s pretty rapid and he seems to have exemption from the 20mph limit that the rest of us on the road have to abide by. It accelerates between the speed humps faster than anything I’ve seen. Thankfully he is at work during the hours the two schools on the road are open.
Hardly anyone on my road has anything decent. A guy I shoot with who is in his seventies has an M5 Comp which I always think is cool but almost everyone else is in really dull stuff which surprises me as the road is all large detached houses. My M340i is therefore almost the quicker. My old Range Rover is the noisiest though, especially at the moment....
Growing up in the countryside I wasn't aware this was a thing
When I went to Uni I used my Grant to buy and sell a few cars and ended up with a Starion Turbo 170bhp.
I was living in a student dive and saw a few kids around it and watched as one spat on the bonnet but then pulled his sleeve down to "polish it" I went out to enquire what was going on
Apparently in 1990, my Starion was the fastest car on the estate which conveyed prestige onto the entire road
