The fastest street legal car

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

The fastest I've ever been behind the wheel was around 140-145 mph coming down to the Clays Ferry bridge on I-75 in our old turbo Jetta.  The car was literally hugging the ground.  I was pretty impressed.  I have driven BMWs and Mercedes, and for the money, the VW can't be beat in the handling department.  That little car would flat out fly, and had the handling package to match with 17" inch factory wheels about 10" wide with 35 series low-profile tires.  Sway bars, slap shift, (could turn off the traction control to roast the front tires), low stance, light curb weight, a CPU flash, and plenty of boost and power for a car that size....it was fun to drive.



I've also driven a 600HP stock car at the Richard Petty Driving Experience, but that was at Bristol, so my top speed was only around 119 MPH.....but man, the pick-up on those things when you mash that throttle coming off the turns is something you won't soon forget!
