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

[paradigital]

Easily. I think both my 440i and MK1 TT V6 take up slots 1 and 2. The third fastest is likely to be a repmobile 2.0d something or other. There used to be a really chavved up F80 M3, and Focus ST estate but that house went eerily quiet around April and now they have a 2010 diesel Renault Megane, so a proper step-change.

I reckon my neighbours M4 has me beat, but mine is definitely louder!

[JerseyS2000]

I live in Jersey, so obviously every other car is a Bugatti, Bentley, Lambo or Rolls.

Aside from that misconception, my road is rubbish for fast cars, so my Stage 1 Golf R is comfortably faster than the neighbours' MX5, Transit, 3 series diesel and ropey old Alfa.

There is an Aventador half a mile away, mind.

Most of the time (2015 M5) but occasionally there's a souped up RX8 that visits a neighbour that looks like it has potential.

Another neighbour had a Stelvio Quadrifoglio for a fews days as a hire car that'd beat mine 0-60.

[dapper]

Having only an MX5 its quite a struggle to claim the fastest car. Even though there isn't anything really interesting on my road.

Although fastest on a track, that would be a different matter

[TREMAiNE]

Yes, though admittedly there isn't much competition.

and about 10 X as cool!!

Nope, my 540i msport is probably top 5, but there is two Mclarens, a Ferrari, rangey svr in my street.

Mine is the fastest estate though

[Diadigdav]

Not even close. I have an s3 so not a slow car, but the faster neighbours cars would be two M5s, M4, X3M, 850i, and a Mustang 5.0. Clearly the performance car drivers in my street have a preference for BMW and not even a single RS or AMG model

Edit: Forgot about a Range Rover SVR, but it barely seems to get moved these days as you always hear it when it drives past

There’s a white Peugeot van around here it has Paris area plates is LHD and carries a set of ladders on the roof. I’ve never seen anything go quicker, it’s awesome.

I am collecting a BMW M140i next week and I believe that it will be the fastest car on my road (several dozen houses too). This is a title I don't think I have ever owned before, one of my neighbours had a very highly tuned Mk6 Golf R, which I'm sure held the crown for a few years, however he's moved now. There is a Mustang V8 nearby but he lives in a side street (and the 140 may be quicker anyway, the numbers look pretty close), there was an A45 but haven't seen it in about a year so assume he's gone too.

It got me thinking, do you own the fastest car on your road/street/Countryside Estate? If not, what beats you? If so, what's your nearest competition?

I do, although definitely not the most expensive or desirable (there’s a 1955 Porsche Speedster a couple of doors down, and a couple of modified Range Rovers).

Quite a small culdesac, so my E92 M3 easily takes bhp honours, with honorable credit to my neighbour with his mint DC2 integra. If the challenge were a time attack around Cadwell Park over 10 laps, I could see the honda coping better with the beating

[Chubbyross]

Not much competition on my road so even my octavia vRS estate wins the prize. When I whip out the 911 turbo the curtains start twitching, especially with the loud exhaust.

not at all. in my apartment carpark there's a gt2 rs, a huracan performante and a 918 spyder.

[SS2.]

My S4 is not even close to being the swiftest on my road - it's up against an AMG C63 Black, Lambo Aventador, 2 M4s and a Vantage S, for starters.

[Blanchimont]

Up until recently I was joint with a neighbour, who had a V12 DB7, and I had an E92 M3; but my M3 has now gone.
I'm probably still up there, as I have 150. Most of the cars are Fiestas/Astras etc.

Seems such a waste with a 40 mph top speed limit.

I took my Griff over there once on holiday for a week, so frustrating. I felt like all I was doing was posing all week


The fastest car in our close is a Focus STi. The average age in our close is about 70

[stuartmmcfc]

I reckon out of 20 or so houses that I’ve probably got the slowest car on the street. It’s the loudest as well.

[mickyh7]

My mapped A7 plays second fiddle to Mr Jag across the road, (wife has names for all the neighbours).
How ever, Mr Jag sold his Jag ages ago, when I had a Vectra, and has now had an R8 for the last year.
It's very nice, I'm not jealous. Hmmm.
Anyway he moved in September and the new neighbours have a Transit Van and a Cleo.
So yes I am.
Finally, for now!
