Fastest Car ever owned

I think my modified GTR was faster compared to my slightly modified Turbo, but in about a month I’m hoping it’ll be a different story (currently upgrading ICs, injectors, clutch, etc and e85 tune).
Though I will say I didn’t enjoy the GTR like I thought I would. I love the 997 Turbo and every minute driving it.

My car is ridiculously fast, faster than any car I've owned or driven, I think. The thing is, unlike most of you, I don't need this speed, I don't need more speed, I drive it very modestly, I'm not a total speed demon. I drive fast for very short period of time when friends are in the car, when they ask. I just love the way it looks, I like the S on the rear badge, I love the inside, I love the stares I get, I love the comfort, I love the fact that I can drive it all day for so many hours and never get tired or have my back hurt. It has it all... and super fast speed. My buddy rode in it the night for about 3 hours and he drives a super fast Maserati. He said "Steve, your car is a rocket ship". He's owned Ferraris, Porsches, Mercedes SL's and other very nice cars. He said my car is just blow away great.
I agree. For the money and ease to fix, it cannot be beat.

Can us 997.2 TTS folks vote / play??
Are we talking "Fastest" or "Quickest" ? These aren't the same, even though so many folks use them like they are.
My 997.2 TTS is the "Fastest" car / truck I've ever owned since it's capable of 195+/- MPH but my Modified 7100 lbs. Quad Cab Diesel truck is / was my "Quickest".
997.2 TTS = Best 1/4 is 10.96 @124.10 MPH (Stock with only EP Exhaust)
Diesel Truck = Best 1/4 was 10.70 @ 129.4 MPH (Highly modded making 1050 WHP / 1700 WTQ)

VTG 68mm turbos, Torque Solutions turbo inlets, AMS Intercoolers & y-pipe, IPD inlet, 83mm throttle body, Klein catless exhaust, 1200cc injectors, and E85.
Sam at By Design is tuning it and says it should be around 730ish. I hope to get the car on the dyno next week to get actual numbers.
