For example in my case...
Owned: Nova (As i'm still on my first car!)
Driven: Range Rover (sadly it's probably also the fastest as I've not been allowed a go in much else. Yet anyway!)

Owned is my nova
Fastest is my bosses evo 8 FQ430 :cool:
Edit: My old corsa turbo was fastest iv owned
My Nova is the fastest thing i've been in, around a track anyway. I sat in my mates single seater (Pilbeam) but never had the pleasure of having a go.
Ohh, I have been on the back of a crazy fast bike though.
