A solid 0-60 mph time can be a strong selling point when buying a car.
So dear readers, What is the fastest car you’ve owned?

My TESLA model 3 Performance dual motor (449 hp) does 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds which is still mind-blowing even though I’ve had her for a few years. I love this car, but tend to go through tires a bit more quickly than with previous cars…

I built a chopped 1938 Ford, put a Cadillac engine in it, drove to Bonneville and went 162 MPH. Dragraced it ran 11.21 at 129MPH Owned it for 35 years. Sad I sold it.
For a while I thought my ratty 1988 camaro with a 305 was fast. Currently my heavily-modified 370z is the fastest thing I’ve owned, until I LS3 swap my 1991 camaro.
2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8. Or my 1955 Plymouth with a 392 Hemi, Chet Herbert roller cam and six two’s.
Hennessey Venom F5
Untouchable by anyone, so far.
Fast or quick? My ’04 GTO with the aftermarket 7.0L will run over 140mph all day, with 1700rpm on the tach the tires can’t use.
My ’76 Vega with the stroker 383, race built PowerGlide, and 4.88 gears? Quick, but out of breath at about 115mph.
1968 Chrysler Newport 2dr HT. Several supposedly fast cars saw the taillights of that car. Ran it on the autobahn in Germany and pushed a of their fast machines to the right lane.
