The fastest cyclocross bike on the road...
With the proper equipment switch like tires, what do you guys recommend is the fastest complete cyclocross bike on the market. I am a speed demon, I want to pass everyone on the roads and maybe trip up my roadie friends with a dirt trail shortcut. I also find the security of switching to wider tires to manage rough NYC streets, comforting.

The fastest CX bike...That can't be answered, but a fast CX bike for mostly street use would be light & have the geometry of a road bike. The Jamis Supernova comes to mind.

I'm sorry, let my rephrase my question. What do you guys think are good cyclocross bikes that have the similar geometry of a road bike, making it perform on par with road bikes on the road with the proper tires.
