What's the SCARIEST car you've ever driven? (35)
Great stuff!
One that comes to mind on my end was a 1987 911 turbo. It belonged to our CEO, which would probably make it scary enough. It had a fuse in the form of some lag, but once that fuse was lit, you better have it pointed in the right direction...

I had a 68 Camaro I built for drag racing with a blown 383 stroker motor, At the line on launch all you saw was sky and hung on hoping you were going straight down the track .
But would run 123 mph in the 1/8 mile

I had a Renault Dauphine and my biggest worry was some one slamming me in the rear cause getting up to the speed limit was not an option that was offered on that POS. I use to carry a brick to lay on the gas pedal to give my foot a rest. The rate of acceleration was so low even NASA couldn't measure it.
The car was well balanced though in that the lack of speed was offset by an inability to stop.
I guess the engineers? at Renault figured why give a car the ability to stop if it can't even go? Why give it brakes when there's so many trees, light poles and other cars around to bounce off of?
Don't get me wrong, the car did have a brake pedal which worked fine as long as you didn't step on it.

I think the scariest time in the camaro was when I dropped a valve at 120 mph, so much for a $10000 motor and 2 years worth of work

I drove my bosses Detomassa Pantera once. The power scared me....the fear of wrecking it, scared me more.

the scariest car I have ever driven in was my first ever car, a battered old silver suzuki alto....the smallest car on the planet
I think...
I used to call it the washing machine cos if you went over 60/70 miles an hour (as it was at the time), the whole car rattled and shook like it was gonna fall apart....

a 1972 Nova...the car was falling apart...the drivers seat was held up by part of a broom stick...if you took off to fast...the seat would lay back flat....

OMG stop it you're killing me.
So, when you took off fast, the seat went flying back and yanked your foot off the gas pedal and you were left staring at the headliner!?

a mini van that my husband had when i first met him., It didn't have any brakes to speak of, and he was towing me in it once, up a very steep hill, and we parted company, I had to run it in reverse into a kerb to stop it going all the way to bottom

Used to have an old Autin Cambridge in my Cheech and Chong
hippy days.
I was fully loaded with fellow long hairs one day bombing down the road in foggy conditions. ( the fog was inside the car by the way}
Suddenly, a car wheel went spinning past us to howls of laughter
and shouts of, "hey look man some f***kers lost a wheel"
Well you guessed it, seconds later the the rear of the car on one
side dropped and we lurched to a halt on the side of the road.
All jaws dropped as we stared at our now dissconected wheel
dissapearing into the distance down the road ahead.
We never did find the wheel as the road ahead descended below
us for miles.
Needles to say, we had no spare wheel or tool kit.
Oh happy days, or is that hippy daze?

um...my van...it's an 89, driver's side door doesn't shut, driver's side seatbelt doesn't work...I drive it
very carefully...at one point, I parked it, and the front tires went pigeon toed! I couldn't help staring
at it
I've never seen pigeon toed tires before! It also is the most fun vehicle I've ever driven---
very challenging, to say the least...

My first car was more embarrassing than it was scary…
It was a 1976 Plymouth Valarie… Well it was free so what can you do???
Anyway, It was dodo brown and road like a tugboat on wheels…
However, you couldn’t get hurt in this car… It had awesome tank like strength…
I know this because when I was 17 I was sandwiched between two trucks and hit from behind with a total of 6 vehicles smashed around me…
You wouldn’t believe it, but that car was covered in scratches and didn’t have one dent in it… Most importantly, I got out with not one single mark on me…
I drove that car home from that accident while the other 6 vehicles had to be towed away and 4 people were transported to the hospital 3 adults that were hurt pretty bad and 1 eight year boy who didn’t make it… It was a very humbling experience and a car I will never forget…

Well, I started down the hill and everything went well for about 100' til I decided to burn off a little speed with the brakes. Brakes? What brakes? We don got no stinkin brakes! At this point I'm thinking this pig has an awful lot of stored up energy and I have to find something to share it with. I decided to do some landscaping and took to the woods first on one side of the road then the other. I mowed down bush's and saplings from the top of that mtn to the bottom.
