Fastest cars in your road?

Sheaf · Post by **Sheaf** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:09 am

Random discussion:

Is your car the quickest down your road?
If not... what's quicker?

Down my road the quickest cars are (in no particular order):

My Accord Type R
Porsche Boxter (not an S)
Skyline R33 GTR (modded)
Pug 206 GTi 180
Then it drops down to a few cars like Golf GTi etc...

There's a teg Si as well, modded. I know they can be quick but this has a stupidly big exhaust and lexus lights so I suspect it's not been modded for performance...

I'd imagine the quickest is the Skyline... they fitted a huge FMIC the other week, looks really really tidy so I suspect it's been tweaked a fair bit. When I got the accord that wasn't there though, nor was the boxster (the bloke had a Alfa GT coupe derv), so the ATR was the quickest for a time....

ST 220
RR Sport
Redtop Nova
Mercedes Sprinter

I believe these are the quickest in my road - no real tuners bar the Vdub boys - and they are all into body mods and audio.

You all know that the fastest thing on the earth is a Merc Sprinter..

My Ti,

Err no thats it.

A bloke a few villages away has a carrera S, but round here the tractors outnumber the cars.

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Fri May 23, 2008 9:54 am

in our cul de sac, i think im the winner, nothing even remotely spicey, apart from a half rebuilt cavalier with no exhaust...

a little further down the road is a scooby, but it was wasted in a 420gsi turbo standard pretty much so cant be that impressive...

have seen a few spicey cars about in town though, a new ford GT40, and even saw a pagani zonda on lunch once.

What was it having, Scott?

5teve L · Post by **5teve L** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:02 am

No order, though i suspect mine to be fastest to legal road limits

My GT Turbo (modded)
The wifes GT Turbo
Astra gsi turbo (modded)
Rover coupe turbo (modded)
Megane 230
Mondeo 220
Loads of other bland day to day stuff

empsburna · Post by **empsburna** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:12 am

Yes. Mine is.

In fact, before that my dad's old 75 conny was probably the quickest too.

The rest of my street is full of coffin dodgers.

There is a rather tasty BMW but its all show and no go.

southside · Post by **southside** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:30 am

Only 12 houses in my street but the bloke at the bottom's got a 911 carrerra or however you spell it. then my cab's probs 2nd as the rest of the street just own bog standard euro box's

Rest of my estate is full of chavs though

robd620ti · Post by **robd620ti** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:56 am

Nope, I win in my street.

My BMW 850i and my Ti are the quickest. Only contenders are a chav'd 306 16v and an import Scooby Impreza (spelling

)

No contest.

Post by **agw_01** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:28 am

A few decent cars on my estate.

Clio V6
BMW 330i
BMW 530d
Mazda RX-8
Clio 182
Fabia VRS (come on, all Fabia VRS owners know their cars are the fastest things ever)
Focus ST

And the guy next door used to have an Audi TT

I think the only things that would give me any trouble are the Clio and the Focus.

While out on my travels once, I met the guy on my street with the Fabia and proceeded to show him how sh1t his car was

dreaddan · Post by **dreaddan** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:30 am

Sheaf are you looking for cars to nick again

Our road is somewhat disapointing - there's a clio sport and then the wifes celica!
then it's all bog standard jobbies.

RobBBoi · Post by **RobBBoi** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:35 am

Either my Gsi or my dads TVR Chimera are the quickest.

There is Pug Gti 180 and a new Volvo D5 estate but Im pretty sure Id have no problems with them.

At the top of my road there used to be a scooby P1, but the bloke sold it and bought 2.0i calibre which is chavved up!

Rofl.

On this particular road, now that there's no longer a GTB, the 'Tesse will probably outstrip the rest. Unsure about what engine the A3 just a couple of doors down has, but even if it's the 1.8T, surely the ol' T series turbo will give that a good going at, even in an old barge?

listie · Post by **listie** » Fri May 23, 2008 12:40 pm

The chap that owns the local BMW dealership lives down the bottom of our road, I think his Alpina B5 S kind of blows everything away

AddsT · Post by **AddsT** » Fri May 23, 2008 12:49 pm

I live on a very small road so i win.

2 coupe turbos (mine)
Civic type R
Nasp Coupe (Girlfriends)
Then dullness.

-Alex- · Post by **-Alex-** » Fri May 23, 2008 1:00 pm

I lose badly to rich people who share the high street, two doors down has a 911 Turbo (New), guy opposite has an Esprit 350 Sport which he's had from new. The other end of the high street theres a Supra RZ TT and an R34 GTR (same house!). See Ferrari's and Lambo's and even a Carrera GT about when it's a nice sunny day. Of all the non-supercars I guess the Maestro could take most though

but it does suck to be poor in a rich enivronment

The Omega fits in though amongst all the Mercs and Beemers

Nice 500bhp Supercharged V8

I don't live on a street as such, more like a court yard but there's only a E46 M3 Cabro and a Seat Leon Cupra R so I'd be 3rd fastest, maybe 2nd if the Leon driver drives Miss Daisey

Roboscot · Post by **Roboscot** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:33 pm

Mine would be the quickest at the moment, other than that there is nothing remotely spicy on my road. A mini cooper or my girlfriends megane coupe are probably next. Until recently though there was also a TT 225, 2 scoobys and an elise so it used to be a bit more interesting, but those guys all moved away within months of each other cos they were all at it with each others birds!

paul888 · Post by **paul888** » Fri May 23, 2008 6:00 pm

All boring cars down my road , but round the corner a guy takes out what looks like an original le mans car in blue elf racing colours with a dogleg gearbox just like the one in front of the GT40 in the picture.

http://www.maisonblanche.co.uk/gulflm.html

And an original ac cobra widowmaker too lucky sod.

EDIT : just remembered a woman with a UR quattro and a bloke with an alpine turbo.

Its been delimited as well approx 205 mph top end

David-Ti · Post by **David-Ti** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:03 pm

not much compare against. I'm sure there are a couple quicker than me baring in mind I live on a 1.5mile long road.lol

Aside from that I had a nice compliment from a work collegue today, who thought my Ti had a nice stance now its been lowered.Yay!! Wondered why it took him ages to pass me on his bike.

Semproxion · Post by **Semproxion** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:34 pm

I think it's actually a Rover ! (well MG ZT V6), then a modded ZR160

Rest are a mix of 1.0/1.4/1.6s.

Surprisingly my 1.0 Polo Coupe ISN'T the slowest. It eats 1.2s and keeps up with next door's 1.4 corsa

notroubleclubber · Post by **notroubleclubber** » Fri May 23, 2008 9:56 pm

Not much in my town let alone my street. Tho my m8 (about 5miles down the road) and his audi r8 probably wins.

Or does too many people know me round town now?

Chin. · Post by **Chin.** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:01 pm

My road is full of vauxhalls and fords, there's less than 20 houses tho

Nothing exciting

steb9780 · Post by **steb9780** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:10 pm

On my street there are a few decent motors.

There's my Supra TT.
A played with Impreza 555 edition,
Slightyl played with Evo 5,
Civic Type R.

There used to be another 2 Imprezas but the lad with the Civic got rid of his and a lady on the street had a quick STi 6, well it was quick upto 1** then I had her

the continental GT is here atm (i live in a pub). Most of them are locals so come in the pub. these don't come out too often but they are there. The gallardo has the numberplate R1SKY. it rocks so much...
