In my road fast car wise there's:
BMW 645ci coupe
Range Rover Supercharged (not sport model)
Mercedes E350 CDI

Then down the scale slightly to a Fiesta ST and Mondeo ST200.
Everything else is slow and boring including Fiestas, corsa's clio's Golf's and MGZR 1.4's.

There is a few cars that visit people sometimes that are quick. These are:
1, Blob eye Impreza Sti
2, Impreza RB320 nice! :)

No one else has a 900cc tiny Jap car like my old Suzuki tho, so I would fairly safely say that my old Alto was probably the slowest car in the road. :lol:

The only quick car in our street is an M3. Everything else is dull middle class family stuff and mid life crises roadsters.
The Neighbour has had a V12 aston (a friends) and his brother has a striped out 530 which is pretty quick tho. Came across on that on my first dry trackday in the bubble and got mullered by it. Never got a chance at a rematch :(

I think my Vitesse may have returned to the top of the league in my street. For a couple of years I was secretly really miffed at being 3rd, behind the Skyline across the road and the Vectra VXR a couple of doors down. The Skyline's gone now. The fella who had the VXR has replaced it with a brand new Insignia estate, which has a little 'turbo' badge on the back. I wondered if it was an estate version of the Insignia VXR, though it doesn't look particularly 'loaded'. It has cloth trim and fairly uninspiring wheels, and doesn't look like it's in the 140mph+ category.

Fastest car is still the V8 drag monster which has recently undergone a transformation from Consul to LWB Land Rover pickup.

Nowadays any decent family saloon is quicker than my vitesse coupe.
In my street the quickest would be a Merc cl600 with some 550bhp owned by a guy further down. He used to have a Porsche Cayenne ut swapped it for the Merc.
Second probably the Merc 500 4th gen with some 320bhp owned by my neighbour across.
Other than that I think I keep up with my closest neighbours BMW320d. The rest, about 20-30 Skodas, Volvos, Citroens and SAABs are left for dust! (In a straight line...)

Hang on, though; a family saloon that can do 0-60 in 7.5 seconds and reach 147mph would be more than 'decent', I reckon. Your Vitesse is still "special", mate!

I just looked at the specs of the 2012 320d and the most powerful model is 181BHP

For that Parker's claim 145mph and 0-60 in 7.3 sec.

That's very similar to the vitesse sport, except the BMW has around 15BHP less and weighs at least 60kg more.

If your vitesse is in good health and making 200BHP you shouldn't have any trouble keeping up with a 2.0litre diesel ;)

Bloody hell. Trust Punx. Just when I was starting to feel good about myself. :|

Nah, but seriously, I'd love to be able to afford a 320 diesel. I'd have a silver one. Do they do it in silver?

Mine is only a Vitesse 180bhp coupe, but I think my mongoose and GBE MBC might have altered that. No I think mine is quicker than the diesel. :)

Honestly. Bleedin' disgrace.

Interesting that yours is the 180PS model. It must have been an export special as the vitesse coupe was only available here from 1996 and with 200PS.

Is yours perhaps earlier than 1996? When Rover still made the Saloon and Fastback vitesses with 180PS?

Regardless, if you have set the boost to 12psi then you have a 200PS model :)

Yes, it's an export version, LHD Italian market. 1993. There are two Vitesse coupes in Sweden, both from Italy and both 180bhp 1993 models. But I have the vit-sport wheels, anti roll bars and smoked tails so mine is faster just by doing that! ;) A trained eye can spot that mine is a bit higher than a vit sport.
