So, what car has had the biggest engine you've been in, and which car is the most powerful you've been in?

For me

Biggest engine - Aston Martin DB9 - 6.0L V12

Most powerful - BMW F13 M6 560bhp

Largest - 6.75 6.2 V8 Bentley S2. Bugger - damn you thorough research.

Most powerful - probably a new +8 at 370 bhp. Some way to go on the last one.

Vauxhall VXR8 6.2 litre and about 520 bhp I think. It was at a Vauxhall track day at a damp and greasy Thruxton and the Corsa VXRs could easily catch it because the TC wouldn't let any power go to the wheels.

Biggest engine would have been my dads 3.5 V8 Rover SD1 I learnt to drive in. Nice car but only about 155bhp IIRC

Most powerful would be a BMW 123d weeping

6.75 ltr Arnage. More torque than the Starship Enterprise!
Most powerful would be a 1JZ powered Toyota MkII that we had at work for a while.

XKR-S or Ftype R coupe. Both have the same powerplant (550ps) but the XKR-S was the most savage.

Supercharged E46 M3 for me.

3.2
475BHP

I do get to drive it every day though biggrin

Unfortunately I find myself slightly addicted to power so this will go up with age. Don't know what car I will have next but it will be over 500BHP.

E46 M3 is the biggest engined car I've owned.

I think my RX-7 would have been more powerful though. That felt like it was nearer 400hp.
