1987 Chevy Celebrity A/T. My first car. Transmission was so shot that once it hit 30 it would slip inot neutral and just rev out. So I had to drive it around in second, and then I could go up to 40 in it, needless to say it always ran hot. But damn do I miss that car!

This Goddamn rental I'm driving while my Pro5 is in the shop.
Stupid Chevy Metro... the speedometer only goes up to 85, although the thing is in danger of shaking itself to pieces at 65. My morning commute hits a few roads where the average speed is 80, so that little piece'o'crap has almost gotten me killed several times.
Luckily, the shop guys just called, and I get my car back this evening.

My best friend who bought my neon tryed my pro when it was stock and was kinda reluctant and told me that I definitely needed to mod it.It kinda hurts to hear that.But a few days ago,I let him try it out on a curvy road with some gravel on it.Needless to says,he was going nuts and he now always wants to drive my little pro!!haha!!it may not be the fastest car,but hell it hugs the road.
I wish I'll never have to sell it for any reason and buy a friggin slug like my first car... I hate slow cars.I cant understand people who think that a car is made to go from point A to point B.

Slowest car is a 90 Corolla, learner's car. It had about 200,000kms on it and I thought the car was sluggish when it was my first lesson. Tried to take that "maDz TyTe RidE" up a slight incline and I realized I was already flooring it at 60km/h. It took about 8 seconds to get up to 70km/h.
Took it up to a highway once while trying to overtake a 18-wheeler in a merging lane. Boy! was it exicting! (read: dangerous and freckin freaky). Loved all 15 seconds of "excitement".

Hahaha, you guys are all funny.....
slowest car for me was this little Nissan Micra. Oh and it didn't have any kind of power steering, so when going slowly, you'd get a good arm workout just turning in a circle.... wasn't my car thank god....

I think i have you all beat
1998 Vauxhall 1.2 liter rental down hill 85MPH TOP F'ING SPEED, and getting up to speed on the highway was like watching paint dry.
or the 1977 Morris Mini 1.0 liter pea soup green, never got it over 60mph.

When I was in high school, my mom drove an old Volvo, can't remember the model number (something like a 240), and there was an electrical glitch in it such that sometimes it would just lose an entire cylinder.
Ahh, a mid-1980's low-end Volvo on *three* cylinders, man, was that a dog. I bet it topped out around 80-85 mph, but getting up to 55 was a nightmare...

Can I include trucks? If so, the slowest thing I've ever driven was a Ryder with a 24' box, loaded with 10k+ lbs of stuff, and towing my 4500 lb pickup. 0-60 was nearly unmeasureable, the governor was set at 62mph, and any good-sized hill was taken at 25mph. Big hole between 3rd and 4th (3rd was good for 26mph, 4th for 48mph, with 3400 rpm governor).
My previously mentioned pickup, a '85 Chevy S-10 with 2,8L V6 and auto trans was probably the slowest car I've driven regularly. 0-60 was probably about 22 secs. Top speed 90 mph (redline limited).
Fastest car was my friend's 400+ hp Talon. That car is capable of high 11's. Running 24 lbs of boost (maybe a little more).

I used to have an '86 Mazda B2200. 0-60 in it was about 17-18 seconds. My dad has a '93 B2200 now, but it's auto... That thing is SOOOOO slow.... I've yet to drive a really fast car : ( The fastest car I drove was probably a '79 mustang cobra. It was pretty quick, sorta... Come to think of it, my car now isn't that quick, but I still love it! : )

Chevy Sprint...Can't even remember the year.
Damn thing felt like it was gonna shake apart at 70.
But, one good thing that came of that car...I traded it for my 92' Protege in 1992.
I still miss that 92' but I love my 02".
