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

We live on a bungalowed close. I'd estimate that between the missus's standard 8 year old c63 and my lowly volvo s90 t4 we have more horsepower than the other 3 2-car houses put together.
C3 Picasso,
500 twinair,
Yaris Hybrid,
Aygo Hybrid,
Mk4 Golf 1.6,
Diesel Rav 4.

500 twinair are quite lively !

[E63eeeeee...]

I presume so. Not sure how fast a 15-20 year old Evo is, but I reckon I've got that covered unless we're on gravel or snow. Barring the tricked out corsa up the hill being something extraordinary, I've possibly got 3 and 4 in the 330Cis too. There are some tasty looking bikes at the top though, suspect they'd leave us all eating dust. Not much of a car scene here.

61 years old( the car, not me), and it only had 43bhp to start with, so no, I definitely do not have the fastest car on my street!

[Glasgowrob]

Nope my wife does

She’s got me beat by probably a half second to 60

Not much in my road tbh mainly derv stuff, I've got a 208 GTi, wife's got Saab 9-5 aero with a stage 1 about 275bhp & the fella 3 doors down has a Vectra (is it a gsi or vxr?) With the V6 turbo

I’d like to think so but there are a couple of diesel Audi & BMW’s that are probably quicker than my 987.1 2.7, I’ve got the best sounding though.

[yajeed]

Depends on how it’s measured. Acceleration until license losing speed, probably my car.

Top speed of a car - definitely not, the neighbours c63s is.

Top speed of any vehicle, my bike probably has that.

My neighbour has a Funny Car so probably not

Which one, Fiat 126 or a Lada?

[Jules Sunley]

Yes I do, and my 2005 E61 Alpina B5 touring tops at 193mph and nothing near it. Also one of the oldest cars in my road, I quite like having both of these stats (not my daily car, just my toy)

[jimPH]

I think every car I've owned has been the fastest in my street! Seen to be a fair few pickups round my way, warriors, rangers etc.

[jonwm]

I reckon I've got the top 2 in our road, nothing major but:

330e
And newly acquired 2004 cooper S

Not much competition though, fiesta, focus and a couple of Kia Sportage's.

My wife probably has the slowest too, a 120bhp 5008 that weights a fair bit. In auto spec too to add the the slowness.

[waynedear]

Yes, certainly do, not difficult though, we only have 6 houses so my Alfa gt diesel beats any competition.

[littleredrooster]

I think I can claim both ends of the spectrum - quickest and slowest!

Quickest with an MX-5 (2.0 so edges ahead of the 1.8 MX-5 up the street).

Slowest - possibly, my Prius may just be beaten by the caravette across the road!

Not yet...

[velocemitch]

I think I can lay claim to fastest with a Giulia Veloce and the oldest with a 68 Alfa GTV.
Though the lady opposite’s son must work for a dealership and keeps turning up in some RS Audi’s and AMG Mercs. But given he doesn’t live there I think I still win.

[LuS1fer]

Probably.

There is a Tesla - a 3, I think,, further down the street but who knows whether that would accelerate faster, in the real world than a 460hp Mustang, given how they do appear to have excellent traction off the line. Of course, in a race beyond his "range", a victory to me, regardless.

There is an M5 and a new Civic Type R in the next street over so "fast" is always relative.

[Tim bo]

Cul-de-sac.

Neighbours have a couple of old knackered Skodas, a knackered old Megane, a knackered old Passat, knackered old Audi A4, a knackered old Figaro, knackered old Hyundai coupe thing, a new F-Pace and a new Transit, that's it.

C63 coupé takes it then.

[QuartzDad]

Cul-de-sac of 6 houses, I barely make the top 10.

[Composite Guru]

I have the only fast car in my village. Everyone else seems to drive the same german & SUV type bore wagons.

Reminds me of the start of Kevin and Perry Go Large.
