Fast to me is anywhere from 12's to low 13's. In a street car, this means, a reasonable amount of interior, pump gas, street tires, pretty much something you can do at any given time.
yeah, to elaborate on that:
there is something to be said for a car that you can drive to get the groceries or drive on a road trip and if you happened by a drag strip you could drive onto the track and lay down a decent time -- that's a car that is truly a STREET car. if it gets into the 12's without removing bolted-down parts and without changing the tires, that's definitely a respectable fast car. and 13's is quick, given what i just described -- IMHO.
i agree on the street trim. last week i was delivering pizza with my car, an hour later i was running even with a modded 99 cobra, complete with spare tire, change of clothes, a random header in my trunk and any other crap i had lying around. why cause its a street car

i would say anything in the 12s on street meat is going to do well on the street.

in connecticut, if you can pull anywhere in the high to mid 12s you will run the local races.

we have mad jdm tite ricers out here, although some guys will suprise you.

my integra is considered one of the fastest cars around here.

word in ct 12s would own because like someone else said the young kids "tune"the vtec low and dont really know ---- other than bolt ons. and my city is surrounded by rich white kids that have the evo8s and m3s and all that but none of them will run it they just see me in a civic and "try" to blow.

i would say 13s low or high is a fast street car, 12s L or H you got something that will make you *** cheeks tighten


anyone that says a 13 or 12 second car (street car) isn't fast has never ridden in a fast car they just watch to much "fast and the gayious"

me and a few friends had this same discussion lastnight just because i wanted to see what they thought. we figured that anything with street tires and respectable amount of interior mid to high 13's is a quick street car and lower then that is fast.
