Best Car Ever
Ok, my 77 (yes 77, not a typo) year old grandpa bought a 2004 mach 1 mustang, 4.6 supercharged v-8 32 valve with manual tranny 320 HP. He just happens to be down for the weekend, he also let me take the car out. Man, i have never had so much fun driving in my life! This thing could break your neck. It has the shaker hood on it and everything. Man, i just cant get over how fast this car is. Of course, i'm used to driving my 6cyl ranger! 
What is the fastest car you think you've ever rode in? Mine so far is definantly this one. This thing could lay a strip for 8 miles. The sweet thing is my grandpa is always driving this think like its a mustang, everytime he pulls up to a light and see's someone in a remotely sportscar-ish car, he starts revving his engine and seeing if he can get a race going. Oh man good times!

fastest car i've been in: Mercedes E55 AMG. i wish i could say my dad's old 68 442 W-30, but it just had to much power for the tires and would spin 'em all day long.
edit: i did a nascar ride-along thing at texas motor speedway, that was fast...but not a production car.

You've got an awesome Grandpa. I can't complain either, my Grandparents gave me their 76 Lincoln Mark IV.

Define what u mean by fastest ....
top end or quickest or most brutal power or torque ?!?!
top end is probably then one my wife has right now I think it's governed @ 142 mph
quickest - not a car - but a scary faast 3 cylinder motorcycle that would make you cry it accelerated so quickly...
most brutal power and torque - the 6.0L excursion I have now - 375HP and 700+ftlbs and witht he right tires and conditions I think the 6.0L COULD propel the 8K Ex down the road at about 140+ - but I haven't been over 105 in it and would want to prove that it could do it a little at a time
but then again - I lead a sheltered life...
