Slowest is a 86 or 87 Hyundai Excel 3 speed auto...no air no ps but still doesn't help the 1.3L 55hp motor.
Fastest is a 95 Viper RT/10 but didn't really drive it on the street. I was working at a Dodge dealership and I had to move that thing around on the lot. Also a Dodge Stealth TT...pretty powerful for its time but overweight.

the slowest car i've ever driven was a daewoo. it was a rental car, and damn that thing was SLOOOOW! 
the fastest car i've ever driven was my uncle's porsche on prom night.
after prom, i pulled up next to my english teacher at a red light (he was in a saturn), rev'd it up, and then i floored it!

Probably my '90 camry, auto, 4 cylinder. It really isn't that slow though, it does okay if you put the power mode on.
It could be the S10 and Ranger's I've rented, but I didn't even take those on the freeway, so
Maybe something else that I drove for a rental or friends but I can't remember.
My brother has had 2 '86 volvo 740s and my mom has a 89 740 I don't know why people say Volvos are slow cause they seemed damn good to me.

And FYI, the 0-60 times on the 5spd fuel injected (and carbuerated) Festivas are faster than the 1.5 liter 2nd gen protege 5spds

1979 Diesel engine Rabbit 450, 000 kms on it. Best 1 dollar ever spent. Manual choke, passenger side floor panel completely rusted out.
If the wind was right and I was going down hill, I could almost hit 80Kms an hour.
Oy yea and the lovely blue gray fumes spewing out the back was like a turbo in the fact that I would never see anyone in my rearview.
Customized ehaust=a softball size hole in the muffler.

76 Toyota Caca-rolla. My first car ever, even though I rarely admit it. Mustard yellow with many dents and dings. Bought it for $2900 and 125K miles and 7 years later sold it for 1K to the guy whose now my sister's hubby. Piece-O-Crap.
