probably the fastest car ive ever been in is a honda nsx. never been in a locost. Tomorrow, my boss, who belongs to a car club where you get your hands on lots of exotica, is going to take me out in his current 3 day hire car.

Its a porche 996. This one is capable of 4.2 secs. might be interesting.....

Or does this not count as interesting experience?

This is going to sound all competitive but that isn't the intention, however, the quickest car I have been in was the old Ultima GTR demonstrator (my mate runs the company) and I will be going to Le Mans this year in the new demonstrator which will by then have a further uprated engine I think. (now only 640hp)

This car has been officially timed by Datron at 0-60 in 2.7 secs, 0-100 in 5.5 and 0-100-0 in 9.8 secs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just in case that sounds a bit unbelievable:

Ultima World Record

or read the latest copy of EVO mag, where they took the car to the Isle of Man in their "no limits" article testing the worlds quickest cars on derestricted roads.

FYI
F1 cars do the 0-100-0 in 4.0 sec

Ok ok, I know bikes are the answer for cheap performance but I'd like to stay alive!!!

Having now seen 2 VERY serious crashes involving ultimas where the driver (and passenger) could walk (ish) away, I know where I would rather sit!

The worst crash involved a head-on with a Vauxhall Omega, both cars travelling at 60mph plus prior to impact, followed by scything down two large motorway style streetlamps, removing two legs from a large A-road roundabout layout sign, then barrel rolling through a hedge into a field.

As I said, I am fairly happy to sit in an Ultima exploiting it's performance.
