I started with a V8 Vega, then restored a 69 Z28, and have had a few others that were drivers. My wife's father (he passed in 92) was a hardcore Ford guy. I recently had the opportunity to study the 1970 Boss 302, and must admit it was an awesome car for its time. What have you owned that was a 14 second car or faster, and feel free to include foreign if its fast.
I'm 46 now and had a few , here is my list:
Five 69' Camaros
67 Firebird 400
68 Firebird 326
70 Chevelle SS 396
70 Duster 340
Those are my memorable ones. After I hit 26 years old, it was newer cars

1972 El Camino, 350 with Edelbrock Performer intake and 4 barrel, Cowl Induction Hood, oversize dual exhaust with Flowmasters, TH350 Trans. I did a front disc conversion, and completely new suspension and steering parts. Sold it after about 6 years when gas hit $4 the first time, as it got 11 mpg and it was my daily driver.
'58 Jaguar 3.4 Mk 1. Got it up to the peg, at 120 mph, once, over 100 several times, which was hard to do in the pre-freeway era, and there were no radial tires yet. I also had a '52 Plymouth, which was very fast and roadworthy stock, the state police bought a lot of them. It had a bigger engine (3.6) than the Jaguar. But i doubt if I ever got it over 65, nor did I ever see a road in Alabama that I'd drive any car over 65 on.
Approx 88 hp. Nah, it wasn't. just kidding around.
