I guess you can say that

Top speed 65-70mph

Haven’t ever taken it that far. Hitting 45mph in this thing is like driving the fury road

Define fast? A Miata owner driving a charger/challenger on a straight road will feel fast to him, while a charger/challenger owner driving a miata in tight mountain curves will feel its fast for him in those prescribed conditions.

no, but having owned bikes i know there's no such thing

I own one of the fastest cars I've ever driven, but now it feels too slow.

*blocks your path*

Eh, The average sportbike is capable of faster cornering and faster overall laptimes than the vast majority of cars. They are $15k racebikes with lights, and the only things on four wheels that come close for under a hundred grand are gokarts like the ariel atom that are barely street legal outside of yurop. All it takes to come damn close to lap records with a modern literbike is a new set of tires. And the lap records are set by bikers with forks that cost as much as the whole bike and drivers with cars that cost as much as fifteen bikes.

And the average sportbike rider proves that we should be glad that random people can't have something just as fast or faster, but heavier and capable of doing more damage in a crash.

Seriously.

There are like 10 cars to do better. 10.

Yeah, relative to my old cars
>first car 1982 Merc 300D
>second car 2008 Subaru Liberty
>third car 1995 Skyline GTS-T
It is much fast and much more fun than my old cars, but it's bone stock (and I'm keeping it that way) so it's not as fast as other Skylines, or other cars on the road desu.

At least I can still eat peppy P-platers driving their 86s for breakfast, and I don't even have to shift aggressively.

>first car: 1982
>second car: 2008

In my mind you got the 300D new when you were 16 and it just kept making sad diesel noises until you were 42 years old and then you bought a Subaru.

Lol no, bought it at 17 for $5k because I didn't have my Ps yet and had nowhere to be.

Eventually bought my Suby for about $10k and had that until last year when I decided to say "fuck it, I'll have my mid-life crisis early and get it out of the way" and bought my R33.

I've done 235kph on a slight decline in my old volvo.

Unless you have a reliable 2000hp with tires that can hook it then nothing you own can be considered fast today. That's according to the car community at large, not me

I've never even driven anything over 350hp, doesn't bother me that much though

>upgrade from slow as heck 1.6 beater to less slow civic 1.5 turbo
>feels fast for a week or so now slow
>get second car e46 335i project/beater
>feels fast for a week or so now slow

so the only way I'll ever feel like my car is fast is if I build a 5 second barely road legal drag car and then it will feel fast for what... a year? whatever long it takes me to master launching it in traffic? (soybois don't act like it's not possible to DD a hardcore car like that)

Top speed is about 250km/h, corners pretty well, so yes.
1998 Chevrolet Omega CD 4.1 for those wondering (no one)

kind of. speedo goes up to 140 and it can be pretty zippy but the transmission slows it down. looking to get it fixed or replaced or something but I'm not really sure what to go with.

I have a mate who is a long time car enthusiast and probably 3 years ago got his motorbike licence.
He says he loves driving cars but he said the speed with the vulnerability on a bike is better if you want to go fast.
I don't disgree with him but I'm not keen enough to risk my health getting hit by someone driving and texting.

>E46 335i

guess how i know you're full of shit

>86 300zx

It's fun

>94 Ford Bronco

It's a lot more fun

Capped the speedometer in a ford Capri going downhill, was terrifying and the car squeaks forever now :(

How about half-fast?

nope, base VW Golf MK4 1.4 1100kg and only 75 hp. Probably 65-70 hp now. Official 0/100km/h is 17.4 sec. Never gone about 150 but it should make 171 km/h

~200mph top speed

But that's BTG.
Very impressive but that would translate in ~7:20-7:30 for the full lap

my e39 does 180mph derestricted, is that fast?

I own a fast looking car, does that count?

Fratele meu

Don't know, clutch is too shit to really open the throttle
