Whats the fastest car you have ever owned?

Mine is definitely the 335i.

Interested to hear from people who have owned quick cars in the past and have downgraded.

Between;

- Cayman S
- remapped 330d
- remapped Volvo S60R

All quick in their own rights, the Cayman easily the quickest overall including bends

The 330d easily the most effortless

The Volvo the most savage - very aggressive remap made it a very quick beast

I guess it's the Masser but the 335i is a close second (I think) and easily the best car I've ever owned.

I loved my 2006 Corvette Z06, the throttle response and gobs of power were but the turn radius was

Both my old E39 M5 and current E46 M3 are similar in the performance stakes. Neither of them could hold a candle to my old STI 5 Type R Impreza in the acceleation stakes. Having said that, I know which marque I prefer! My GTR33 V-Spec was pretty quick, but unusually it was standard, so in reality it was slower than any of the 3 mentioned above.

My remapped 320d

Ahh but I be only 23. This will change! I hope..

Assuming no unforseen circumstance changes, I'd like my next car to either be the new M1 thats planned for 2011, or a Cayman S or similar. Either will be hinged on a purchase around my 25th birthday, so they are actually insurable. 20 months and counting

In terms of top speed that would be my Ferrari 348ts

In terms of car that could be driven fastest (say, along a twisting back road) that would be my old Impreza.

Put them on a straight, dry runway, the Ferrari would walk it. Throw in some inclement weather and heavy bendage and the Ferrari would not see which way the scoob went.....

Similar. My 325i is the fastest thing I own. Consider myself very fortunate to have a bimmer at my age while my mates drive Corsa's and Clio's. Next car E90 M3 in about a year or two OR an E92 335i done like Tone's, SE of course . Blacked out.

But for the moment my 325i will do me nicely
