Yeah, that's a 1988 600hp RUF built 911.

4.5 0-60 was nice and quick for me, until I picked up a new one last fall that does 3.7. I imagine if I could afford a Z06 vs a Z51, then 3 would be even better. It never ends, the quicker you go, the quicker you want to go

riozlander · 08-10-2017, 10:31 PM

Anything over 125mph is fast to me
Fastest I ever went in my life was 145mph

The most hp I have driven was 800hp with 1200 foot pounds of torque on a 2009 international prostar with a modified Cummins

11s in the 1/4 is fast enough. But then yiu wants 10s...it doesnt end.

onegoofydad · 08-11-2017, 09:58 AM

Loving all the different perspectives. I agree its a sickness. I remember about 15 years ago when I owned a 5 speed 1999 Maxima that I had modified. I was able to run a 14.6 @96 and I thought that was fast.....then again I was beating most RUSTANGS back then..those 4.6's were pretty slow.

The Camaro is a treat to drive, its fast and smooth has nice street manners. I usually reach legal speed limit before I know it. It's not the fastest car on the street. But one day I hope to reach the 11's with it.

Fast enough is the point at which you cannot control it. Spinning tires isn't doing much. After that, you are wasting money or its a dyno queen.

In the spirit of too fast....Long ago, I was into the go fast boat scene. When i thought my twin engine Fountain was fast approaching the 90mph mark, i took a ride on a supercharged Skater cat. When i looked over and saw 137MPH with some stick left, i cried uncle. High speed on water is not for the faint of heart.

I've driven a GTR and I think that's were I would draw my line.

The guy who let me drive it, only drives it on the weekend and he's selling now because of maintenance cost and because he says one day he's going to get in trouble with it. It's just too easy to be going over 100mph in that car.

KaBoom1701 · 08-11-2017, 12:41 PM

I'm good where I'm at with the mods I have....

The issue now is weight loss.....the car or me....havent decided yet. Lol

BOOSTT · 08-11-2017, 06:20 PM

I never felt satisfied until around 600AWHP, or RWHP. I drove the Gen 5 V6 and thought the clutch was slipping or something. It just had no power. I think it's just what you like personally. If you drive a 600HP AWHP or RWHP car often, then get in a 300HP at the crank car, you will probably feel like your in a really slow car. Quick acceleration is what I love the most. Giant turbo's have too much lag for my taste, even though you can get huge HP. AWD cars are by far the most fun to drive IMHO if they accelerate quickly. I'm a Porsche fanatic. Own a few fast cars, but that 911 Twin Turbo is just exhilarating!!! I don't want any more HP in her. A bit over 600AWHP. My 300ZX twin turbo has more HP, but it feels more like getting drop kicked when those turbos spool. Nearly drop kicked me off a cliff on a mountain run once. Yikes!!! Camaro has power, but not instant or nimble feeling. Mine is a stock 6.2L Manual. I would love to feel what an AWD ZL1 would feel like! Any Automatic is out of the question for me. Vipers are fun if you don't have to ever turn. Corvettes are fun if you can dodge every little bump and avoid sharp turns. It's just a matter of preference I guess.

My 2003 GSXR750 is slow by todays standards and it does 0 to 60 in about 3 seconds . My best 1/4 mile time was 12 seconds and that's slow. I suck at launching.

Tesla P100D is def quick lol. 323hp is adequate for me. One more year then I'll be making the jump to the SS

NC_SS · 08-12-2017, 11:35 AM

Honestly I'm so use to my bolt on LS3 that it just feels like a normal car now

I'd like to get into the 550 whp area one day
