My answers:
1) BMW S1000RR (I really want one... but $$$).
2) TT Viper (years ago but still king - old second generation. Only played on the highway).
3) Ninja 1000 (the daily driver).

... and yes, I'm this bored.

1. Mercedes SL63 AMG

Non car vehicle? I suppose a Honda CRF 250.

Fastest Car, 2005 Mustang GT.

Fastest vehicle I own, or have owned? Honestly, I think it's a toss-up between a 1994 Mustang GT and my '65 Mustang. I may or may not have taken them each up to 110 mph, but no more than that. But the '65 is definitely more powerful than the '94 was.

What did you think of the SL63? I have only ever driven the old SL55 AMG, but I liked it.

1: 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S
2: Porsche 911 (991) C2S
3: The only car I have ever owned, my Chrysler Cirrus. Though I think that might change soon...

1) Cessna 195 - top speed of 185 MPH

2) 2003 Evolution VIII - tops speed of 157 MPH (I've had it up to about 120 MPH)

3) 2003 Evolution VIII - tops speed of 157 MPH (I've had it up to about 120 MPH)

1. First gen Viper.

2. Isn't a car a vehicle? I'm confused.

3. Fastest vehicle I own, since the definition seems to be open to interpretation would be my HO slot cars, which can reach scale speeds of 300+ mph.

1) '10 Camaro SS (friends car, manual)

2) '10 Camaro SS

1) Vehicle you have ever driven: Some old Yamaha Genesis FZR
2) Car you have ever driven: Formula Mazda
3) Vehicle you own: E-Type

I have not seen the top speed in any of these.

Casper > Paul, Man of Mustangs
08/16/2013 at 12:55

I would imagine the 65 is also a lot more responsive too. Those weren't very heavy if I recall. I have only driven one older Mustang, but there wasn't much original about it other than the looks.

Mosqvich > Casper
08/16/2013 at 12:55

1. Ferrari 512 BBi (did 130 mph on twisty country roads)

2. Same, rented a 5-series in Germany, did 150 mph on Autobahn

3. E46 and a Fiesta

More Power!!and also some brakes. > Casper

2) Unrestricted FSAE car

3) I currently only own an Impreza...

Casper > dinobot666

Yes, a car is a vehicle, but for a lot of people they will have had faster things (cars, planes, etc).

pdthedeuce > dinobot666
08/16/2013 at 12:57

could be any vehicle, bike, boat or like f86sabre, plane

Saracen > Casper
08/16/2013 at 12:57

Handling is OK. That thing feels heavy. But...that 6.2 is godlike. I want one.

Note: I also have driven the C63, (first generation) E63, and CL63. My favorite of all of them was the C63 as it's the lightest. But the SL63 felt quicker.

Joe_Limon > f86sabre
08/16/2013 at 12:58

Haha, I see I am not the only one to include a plane (Cessna)

Fastest Vehicle I've ever driven: A turbo prop airplane. I forget what kind it was. Pilots let sit in the co-pilot seat and have control for a little bit.

Fastest Car I've ever driven: C5 Corvette

Fastest Car I own: I don't own anything fast worth mentioning.

Oh god, I'm going to fail this test.

1. Speed boat (don't remember which one but it had a Corvette enging in it about 10 years ago)

2. Mitsubishi Evo VIII

3. 2000 Dodge Dakota (because a 5.9L engine is a lot faster than my 1.8L I4 Chevy Aveo.)

Kinja'd!!!

I don't like to choose, so the two fastest I've driven are a BMW 760Li and Mercedes-Benz SL63. Very different driving experiences obviously, but both were a ton of fun.

I knew I needed a 1 and 2 just for the pilots :)

Paul, Man of Mustangs > Casper
08/16/2013 at 13:01

With the upgrades to both, they were actually about even. I had some Tokico adjustable shocks on the '94, and a fully stiffened suspension on the '65. Before the shocks on the '94, the '65 was much more responsive. Afterwards, the '94 was a bit more instantaneous. The '65 has about a 1/2 second lag time between turning the wheel and the car turning. But it turns very fast when it does!

HammerheadFistpunch > Casper
08/16/2013 at 13:02

1.Well, I have piloted a small plane, that went pretty fast

2. I have driven a McMerc SLR, but only legal speeds

3. the fastest I've been in any car i've owned is 116

ttyymmnn > Casper
08/16/2013 at 13:02

1 and 2) Porsche 911 Targa. Back in the summer of '87, I had a job for the leasing division of a local Chevy dealership. My job was to pick up the cars of our lease customers, take them to service, pick them up, clean them, and return them to the lessors. On one long stretch of I-64, I wound the 911 up to 110 mph. It wasn't even breathing hard.

3) Of the two cars I own, an '01 Golf 2.0 and an '06 Odyssey, I'm not sure which would be faster. I've gotten each up to about 90 when passing. Both could clearly go faster. But I'm too old and too much of a parent to think about driving that fast regularly.

Jagvar > Saracen
08/16/2013 at 13:02

Did you do the AMG Driving Experience? I got to drive the C63, E63, SL63, and CL63 in the same day.

Goshen, formerly Darkcode > Casper
08/16/2013 at 13:08

Ew, I believe I confused myself there. I've tragically read "driven" as "ridden". So yes, unfortunately the fastest vehicle I've yet piloted was a front-wheel-drive Italian four-banger hatchback.

J. Walter Weatherman > Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?
08/16/2013 at 13:09

O.o

A speedboat that is faster than the Evo?! That sounds pretty fuckin scary.

Well I had the Evo in number one but then number two said "Car" so I put the Evo there and wrote in the boat for "Vehicle".

08/16/2013 at 13:16

1) S550 (it's a land yacht, not a car)

2) E46 M3

3) 350Z (though it doesn't feel much faster than my E36 M3)

08/16/2013 at 13:17

I was in HS and it was a job shadow. I think it was a Dorniar 327 if that sounds correct. It was a corporate turbo prop from the west side of Michigan to the east side.

They were the Advanced school cars Russell used to have.

Kinja'd!!!

Our class was fairly "well behaved" and they allowed us 10 laps or so in these faster cars at Sears Point. Maybe hit 100mph.

The tip of my shoe would hit a tube down the the footwell when I transitioned from the throttle to the brake pedal. It was so distracting that I braked really early for the whole session.

CounterTorqueSteer > Casper
08/16/2013 at 13:23

1) SV650R (at least it felt the fastest)
2) LP-560
3) 03' Mustang GT (with a couple fast bits)

Casper > CounterTorqueSteer
08/16/2013 at 13:29

Those SV650s have some grunt with their v-twins. Where did you get to drive the Lambo? One of the driving school/dream car drives or do you know someone with one?

Saracen > Jagvar
08/16/2013 at 13:30

Yep, that's what I did.

They also had a CLK63 Black Series and an SLR Roadster on display. I didn't drive them of course, but I did get to sit in them.

It was a driving school event at Daytona on their infield track. The 650 was definitely sweet. I prefer twins over inline 4s.

Casper > CounterTorqueSteer
08/16/2013 at 13:42

Yeah, I have had both. So far my favorite is this Ninja 1000. It's a 4, but it only revs to about 11k, and actually stops making power a little lower. It's more of a torque power curve than the typical peaky 4 race bike curve. It still loses a little initial torque, but makes up for it with gobs of mid power and speed.
