My 330hp impreza wagon was my personal car.

The most powerful car I have driven can't be named here as its not yet in production smile

R32 GTR with a R34 engine, 730Bhp on the last rolling road I had.

Rediculously rapid and another level to any other car I have ever been in or driven.

All of my cars bar my one £1800 splurge have been sub £1k so the best I can manage is-

Bmw 740se 286bhp

Boredom related purchase done to see what the biggest engined car I could find in December 11 for under a bag.

Most powerful car was the first Impreza Turbo I owned, classic shape and 357bhp. Prior this this I had a 160-170bhp Renault 5 gt turbo and the Impreza felt other worldly fast compared.

Would love another one day.

Current car, Ferrari FF, 651bhp. Truly licence threatening in every regard. Had the 533bhp Ferrari 612 before that.

Nissan GT-R with Litchfield Stage 4 around 620hp and enough torque to worry Chuck Norris.

XJR at 380bhp followed by the Tuscan Mk1 at 360 (TVR horses hehe) then the BMW 750 at 326, with the Ferarri 348 coming in at 310ish (iirc). After these it gets a bit saner with a 350z at 296, an E34 540 Touring at 282, S2000 and GTV V6 at 240, also the Chimaera with the aforementioned alleged 240 horses. The Carerra 3.2 at 231, a couple of other unfettled GTVs at 220, XJ6 at 216 with a load of other stuff below 200. Not fogetting the mighty Smart at a whole 70 bhp! biggrin
