Fast cars or "fast" cars
Ok guys, Ive heard a lot lately about how "fast" someones car is, or how someone got burned by a "fast" car... I know we had a thread a while back about what is considered fast, but I thought we should have one on what people actually run at the track and whether or not they think it is fast. I run low 16s depending on track conditions, and I consider that rather slow... its fast for an SUV but slow against anything else... so what do all of you run?

I've never actually drove...but i have ridden in some really fast cars...
(viper, vette, audi tt, tt supra, ss camaro, and many others...) I consider a 10 sec car to be fast...nothing over 10 secs is fast... a car can be pretty fast or fairly fast though...

I ran 16.98, that was with a good amount of weight in the trunk (system), and a crappy start. I consider that slow. I agree with Mobbo 10 seconds is fast.

haha no sh*t 10 seconds is fast... thats beyond fast, thats blistering... I consider high 11 or low 12 second passes to be fast... and please no excuses about a bad launch or system in trunk... run what you brung... and if u drive with a heavy system in your car on the street you should leave it that way for your times... also a crappy start? If you run a 16.98... no offense, but there is no such thing as a "good start" if its that slow in the first place

15.527 @ 146.88 km/h (or 91.27 mph).
For an all-motor/computer setup with stock engine and FULL interior + extras and rims. I dont think I can do much better while keeping it a daily driver. I should trya again with 15" rims and without the toys in the car.. Oh well, lets see what the supercharged Maxima will run.

the kick back in the seat feels nice, makes me think i'm in a FAST car. So recently I've been flooring it alot just to get the feeling.
I'd say anything below 6.5s 0-60 is fast, I dont care much for the 1/4mile aslong as its got kick back I'm happy. |
