I think it is a classic case of defining what fast is...to each person it is different...For instance I had a 2.8 V6 Camaro, awesome 17 second car I thought was fast....till I got my 15 second FWD Monte and I thought that was hella fast...ready to take on anything!....then I got my GTO and Boy did I not know what fast was...made the monte look like it's standing still....still even now my GTO isn't considered fast anymore...

So someone coming from a 16 second world, 13 & 14 seconds is fast, but to someone running 10's....13 seconds is slow...

Also in the world of street racing/grudge racing (Which is where sittinon4z sounds like he's coming from) you can NEVER give out accurate times or specs on a car, people out there are looking for GW's (Guarateed Wins) especially for money, so if they come across that info. anywhere on the web, they will be sure to build/get something faster, down play it knowing what the other has and ask for a race, knowing they will win....Just an FYI....

And SittnOn4z when you can't say what times you run I raise the BS flag on anything your talking about. And I never said I could beat and 10 second car yet but I will.
the reason you don't tell your exact times is so you can beat people who have no idea how quick your car really is, wow! you must know nothing about racing. as i said, my car is a NITROUS car...it runs in the 10's on motor, that means no nitrous, like i said before...i hope you got a sub 9 sec car your bringing out for any REAL RWD car. and the only BS around here is your slow azz MC.

In the world of street racing time slips don't mean jack, specially when racing for pinks. You can have an 11 sec car but your reaction time sucked?, your done.
