We seem to have a few Celicas.

Perhaps someone should start a "We Have Celicas" Club.
 
hmm, well, My sentra will beat my wifes focus wagon....but my uncle has a 1999 firebird with ram air, would smoke my car badly!
 
Our Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon. It looks exactly the same as the WRX version except there's no hood-scoops, simply because there's no turbo. Yay for stupid options! :)
My grandad used to have a 3 litre Ford Capri, full elather interior, I loved it. Can't remember how fast it went, but it'd beat the scoobie.
 
My uncle drives an 03 vett or something, i drive an eclipse, and my dad drives an v6 mustang... dats bout it.
 
My 69 Camaro is the fastest in my family. No one else is even close because they dont want fast cars. I wish my brother would get older and buy the Skyline he has always dreamed of. Then I would have someone to have fun with in my family. :dopey: Yes I know , very unlikely in the US. And he is only 15 this month so he still has a long ways to go. My girlfriends brother almost bought a 2002 ram air trans am. That would have been a fun candidate if it was modified.
Twinturbojay, can you send me some pics of your uncles ram air!!?
My girlfriend will eventually have a fast 67 Mustang fastback but that wont be until we sell this slow 67 Mustang coupe.
 
Hmm...

Dad's got a 2005 Trailblazer LT, 9technically he also has an 85 chevy scottsdale and an 84 International box truck, but those are company cars)

Mom has a 2002 Saab 9-3 2.0t (170 horse version:grumpy: )

Stepdad's got a 2001 Buick Regal GS

I've Got a 1960 Chevy Biscayne and a 1992 Lexus SC300

My sister has a 1995 Suburban

Her Husband has a 2002 GMC Sierra

My other Sister has a 2004 Dodge Durango

Her husband Has a 2004 Ford F-350 Powerstroke Diesel.

I guess I'm the fastest. :)
 
My Grandad used to have a Bentley Turbo R.

That was pretty nippy.
 
He's had many cars bless him.

And by the way, he only had the Countach for 5 days before re-selling it back.
He had no intention to keep it.

But the old, fat, uneconomical Bentley seemed to last a while. But I know which I'd have kept...
 
Me - Blazer 190hp slow as hell
Girlfriend - S10 190hp slow as hell
Dad - G-Van 300 some odd hp, but it weighs a lot
Mom - Pacifica 250hp quick enough
Brother - S10 120hp

So I guess my mom has the quickest thing outta the family.
 
My dad: Jaguar S-Type 3.0 SE
Me: Mazda MX-3 1.8 V6
My other half: Renault Clio 1.6i Dynamique
My sister-in-law: Kia Picanto
My not-quite-sister-in-law (1): Volvo 740
My not-quite-brother-in-law (1): VW Beetle (original)
My not-quite-sister-in-law (2): Ford Ka
My not-quite-brother-in-law (2): Ford Mondeo
My not-quite-sister-in-law (3): Renault Clio 1.6i Dynamique
My not-quite-brother-in-law (3): Nottinghamshire Police Focus
My brother: Subaru Impreza WR1.

Not much of a contest, really.
 
I've been told my dad's cousin owns a collection of cars, including a Dodge Viper, so he wins hands down in my family (Next fastest car would be my Grandpa's Outback wagon. After that, it's pretty grim). I haven't met him unfortunately, my dad doesn't keep in touch with his relatives... :mad:

But, I might be going to Detroit for the autoshow in 2006, and he spends lots of time in the Detroit area, so maybe I could wrangle my parents into arranging some way to meet him then if he's around.
 
'04 CLK55 AMG.

I'm fairly sure it would be the quickest car even if it were a CLK320, although then our other car ('96 850 Turbo) would give it a run.

My family doesn't know the joy of doing 0-60 in under 8.6 seconds - thinking of as many relatives as I can, the quickest car is my mother's '03 Mazda Tribute, although my uncle has an '04 QX4, with the 3.5 not the 3.3, and a cousin once had a 91-96 300ZX.
 
Cousin’s BMW Z8. It doesn’t get as much of a workout as my other cousin’s husband’s BMW M3 though, which he has heavily modified and does a lot of track running with it. He’s flown down the I-5 at 160 mph before (limitor’s taken off) – absolutely insane.
