Jabro = James Broadwell, the designer. A kit which used a tube frame/fiberglass body with your choice of mechanicals; typically either Crosley 4-cyl or Saab V-4. They typically ran in H Modified in the SCCA back in the '50s and '60s. Ours started out with a heavily modified Crosley 45-cu.in, MG 4-speed. After a race trial at Elkart Lake my dad decided it needed more power. Lots more power. He called a friend at GM Tech Center and soon after crates arrived with a Buick/Olds 215-ci V-8, 4-spd, and matching Posi rear. He got a major promotion at work which required no more racing. The car was never completely finished but I did get a very brief, hair-raising ride. It was sold after he died in '92. Google "Jabro Parker" ... It's out there. I'll have to dig up more pics later. -
Fastest i've ever gone is 110 in a Toyota Sienna.
Fastest car I've ever driven is a 2007 Honda pilot. 0-60 in 6 seconds, pretty decent for a SUV.
250-260HP and like 285lbft torque. Lame but still weird when SUV launches and the nose lifts 3 feet.Leave a comment:

Fastest car i drove that was not mine was 2006 Chrysler 300srt8 with a 392 stroker and a 200 shot of nitrous. We hit 175 so damn fast in that boat, but i didnt even realize it due to how sturdy it felt. His best time down the 1/4 mile was a 10.78 at 127mph.
Fastest car that was mine, was my 03 mustang gt. Heads, cams, gears, and bunch of bolt ons made 160 come up pretty quick. My best time in that down the 1/4 mile was a 12.84 at 108mph in 110 degree weather.Leave a comment:

My Dad's 275GTB, a 512BB, a 288GTO were tops but an E55 and an '09 M3 vert were memorable too.
Didn't drive this one but was scared sh*tless when I was a kid and rode in my Dad's Jabro race car; 1100 lbs and a 3.5 liter 250-hp V-8.

The fastest car I've driven as far as WHP goes was my buddies heavily modded 996tt with 670 to the wheels. Insanity. Never had a chance to do a top speed in that car but G force in that car was debilitating. Here my list of other fun cars I've had the opportunity to own/drive.
My cars.
My 323ci topped out at 135mph
My e28 M5 topped out at 155mph
had the e39 M5 up to 164mph
My 944t topped out at 171mph
The exotic rentals.
2004 Bentley GT continental 176mph (drives like a ton of bricks)
2003 Lamborghini Murcielago 169mph
2004 360 Modena
2005 M5 (smoked the 360 Modena)
2005 Mercedes CLS 55 AMGLeave a comment:

fastest I ever drove was in a stripped down 1995 lincoln town car to the tune of about 130mph
fastest on bike was 160 on an R1 last week. I think that was the max.
Fastest as a passenger had to be the Bentley with the W12. Fuck those pull. AWD is amazing. I think it was governed because in 5th gear we were at 155. Amazing stuff.Leave a comment:

My dads SRT8 charger to about 145 (I will never do that again) the suspension on that car is not what it should be for a "race car" but maybe I'm just used to the stability of BMW's?Leave a comment:

Just saw this, no problems at all. As a matter of fact he smoked a ZR1 at Buttonwillow a few weekends ago. PM me and I can get you in touch with the guy you should be talking to when you are ready.Leave a comment:

Fastest car I've driven, probably our shops Cayman S w/GT3 throttle, IPD plenum, tune, under drive pulleys, B&B headers back. I rode in it before driving it. Rolled to ~140 with engine RPMs, and two gears, remaining. I only took it to about 100.
Fastest I'v driven, ~140 in my 330i racing my buddies Eclipse GT. I beat him.
I don't do stupid shit like that anymore.Leave a comment:
