Okay I'll play. Here's one of my toys. 250 Superkart. It only makes 85HP, but the whole thing weighs just 130kg. It will do zero to 100km/h in under 3 seconds, top speed 270km/h and pull 3G's in corners.

While it's not exactly the fastest vehicle I've ever owned - its extremly fun in the twistys.
Lots of upgrades: Suspension (lowered, poly bushings) & brakes (braided SS Teflon lines, cross drilled rotors etc.).
Currently awaiting a new cam, roller rockers & an alloy head swap.

Pierre, looks like that performance ride would likely rank at the top....probably @ #1 in the 4-wheel performance ride category....at least in my book.
This thread is making me realize how boring, mundane and risk/thrill-free my life apparently is.
(I guess everything's relative - Steve Fosett lived a thrilling life, and look where that got him).

JP: maybe time for a new bike??????
Ducati 1098, or RC51???
p.s. I have sold my old CR250 engines to Kart guys when doing the swap to make a CR250 with CR500 engine. The karts are pretty sick, no doubt.

Nice Brett, my 1st car was a '77 MGB, 2nd was an '80 limited.
I used to have this boat and a couple of Personal water craft. My SeaDoo was race prepped and ran it one season on the IJSBA circut.
Now all I have is the 928's. I'm happy only having these.

Well since the horizon is expanded here.....this is a fun/performance "vehicle" I sold back in '06. She really flew....built all by myself. Which was a fun process, except the 8 coats of paint.

Sean....that looks like a big block Scarab that I had access to for one very fun (and reckless) summer.
