Z :: the fastest car you've ever ridden in


(photo found on cardomain)

The other day, I asked AR if the Rex was the fastest car she's ever ridden in.

Big mistake.

It's not. Or at least she says it's not. I think there might've been a little prejudice which I'll explain soon. She said the fastest car she'd ever ridden in was one of her high school friends' dad's cars in 8th grade (98-99). She said it was small, two door and low car that "pressed her up against the seat." I believe the sporty layout may have biased her against the WRX's sleeper saloon styling (especially since I've taken off the orgasm inspiring exhaust).

Anyway, I was a bit miffed. I mean, I had the Honda CBR F4i motorcycle and introduced her to the most exhilarating thing she's ever going to ride. Also, I gave her a ride on the F4i, and it's a very fast vehicle, probably faster than any car I'll ever own. Still, my complex reflex hit hard and I was not to be outdone. I've decided that the Datsun will be built to be the new fastest car she's ever ridden in.

Originally, I thought the car was probably a corvette...but I can't find any indication that there are 2+2 corvettes, and she says that the car was "small." Anyway, I still need to find a target drag time. When I first got into cars (not long after 1999), one of my favorite movies was The Fast and the Furious, a terrible movie that idolized the idea of a "13 second car." After actually going to the track, I learned that my poor WRX is only good for mid 14's under my foot. Thus, I would like to break into the 13's in my Datsun. Well into the 13's.

I'll be doing some research on how to do that with the L28et.
