Sadly, the most powerful vehicle ive been in is..

[Benbay001]

After checking through a certain PHers profile, i started to consider what the most powerful vehicle ive been in is.
Turns out its a.... Zafira, albeit a VXR.
With this new knowledge, my day is ruined.
Anyone able to better than (or.. worsen that?) Anyone's most powerful 4 wheeled experience, actually less powerful than a vxr Zafira? 240bhp. Being PH and all, i imagine most of you have been in something with atleast double.

Never been on a train or in an aeroplane then?

If we're talking about four wheels, I suspect most of the population have never been in a car with over 240bhp; I suspect something like 99% of cars have less power than that. The most powerful car I've owned only has 156bhp. Not sure what the most powerful car I've been in is.

Jet engines dont make bhp. Everyone knows that.. (that is correct, right?)

Think that's about the thrust of it.

The most powerful I've owned was a 160hp Nissan Patrol, which was also the slowest car I've ever owned...

[Evil.soup]

414bhp VXR8 is the most powerful car i have driven followed by the Evo 9 FQ 360. Most powerful i have owned is the current WRX with 282bhp.

[LordHaveMurci]

Re-mapped RS6 Avant, 550BHP or a standard DB9 & V8 Vantage (4.3). Most powerful I've owned is my 996 with a mere 300Bhp!

I think the statement was "the most powerful vehicle ive been in is a Zafira"

I'm not an aero engineer - but I'd be pretty certain the a jet engine produces more power than a people carrier.

[Cupramax]

Driven on track Lambo Murcielago LP640, didn't feel that fast to be honest.
Owned Leon Cupra R Revo map 275hp.
