Fastest car I drove was a severely modded XR4Ti with just a hair over 300 hp and well over 300 lb/ft torque.
Rode in 500 hp (owner's estimate) S/C Cobra, and a just barely 11 second Camaro...
In my family we have, but I have not driven or had a ride in: 9 second Camaro (my uncle's), and an 1100 hp (750 hp block with a 400 shot) sand racing Jeep (brother in-law) - I gotta drive that thing!

Slowest... by far Geo Metro! My old boss's car... had a sticker on the inside of the door that said "600 lb weight limit"! I was scared to pull out in traffic when I was driving it!

Actually the fastest cars I've either driven or riden in are... 72 Chevelle w/ a 454, 01 Corvettee 6 speed, Bondurant race prepped Cobra, '73 Challenger w/ a built 318, S2000 which wasn't blistering fast but man was it fun, S/C'd CSVT, Ram Air Firebird 6 speed, M3, various Vette's and a Porsche 911, Smokey & the Bandit style Trans Am that was built. I was 14 at the time and that made a big impression on me. Some others I can't recall.
