I no longer own the fastest car on the street

As pointed out by my son. My neighbour just came home with a 2009 Chrome Yellow ZR1. This from a guy who owns twin Chrysler 300s -- neither one a V8.

Shocking . . .

I wonder if I can convince him to come to one of my track days. Seems a crime to have a 638 hp toy, and never take it for a run.

What are the odds he slides into a curb/tree soon?

He's put enough armour all on the tires to make that a real possibility. He's obsessive about his lawn. Maybe he can become a track junkie and let his go a tiny bit, thereby relieving some pressure on me and the other neighbours.

Tell him you want the motor after he backs the thing into a ditch at high speed.

A lot less than if he was driving an Elise.. or a Miata..or an e36 m3..

Don't feel bad. My neighbor's 911 makes more than twice as much horsepower as mine.

Yours is much (air) cooler though . . .

I don't even have the fastest miata on my street.
(Alright, I might own the best handling miata on the street, the rest look to be stock)
Pretty sure I can keep up with the worlds loudest and slowest mustang from across the way though.
Bonus points: Every person who moves into my neighborhood these days has a 'drift car' that they park on the street.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure I've got the fastest CRX on my street

Well, i just started my 86 CRX with the new weber i put on it, so i might be about to lay that claim on my rural street as well!

I have the fastest Mazdaspeed 3 in my parking space....

I've got the fastest(only) Yugo in the state of Michigan last I checked.

I'm quite certain my car is the fastest on my street. But that's not saying much with it being a lightly-tuned wrx.....my street is heavily populated with Accords, Camrys, Lexuses, and SUVs. I can't think of a single car (non-SUV) owned by anyone on my street that I would want to own. Not a single one. Boringville USA.

I drive the highest mileage vehicle at work. I'm proud of my 433,000 miles. Is it OK to brag on that?

Pretty sure I've got the fastest Wartburg in the U.S. :)

HELL YES. That's legit right there.

I have the fastest car on my street too. Unfortunately all that means is I'm the only car guy on my street. At least I don't have the fastest car of my friends. If I did, I'd have to consider getting new friends.

When the Olds is done it still will not be the fastest car on my street. Especially when you consider there is a 2013 GT500 at the end of my street...Hell even SWMBO's Buick has a more powerful engine than what I am putting in the Olds. And no she will not let me have it for the Olds.

I doubt he will ever exceed .5G in ANY direction....

Quick stop while she isn't looking?

I think I've got the fastest car on my street, but the a-hole on the next block earns the "distinction" of having the loudest Hardley in the frigging universe.

At least it seems that way at 3am.

Hardley...3AM

Know that if there is a hell, there's a special place for him...filled with uncorked rotaries...or hondas...or silence. Jackholes.

I not only have the fastest car/s in my street, but also the fastest F700.

I have the fastest motorcycle on the block...because the guy with the Aprilia is two blocks over.

I have the fastest car on my street.

I have the fastest truck on my street.

I have the fastest boat on my street.

I have the fastest mower on my street.

I have the only house on my street.....
