Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

Any 250whp-350whp 12.5~11.5 sec FWD Honda is what I would consider pretty quick for a street car. Now a Fast street FWD honda (on pump gas and DOTS) running solid 11's is pretty difficult, there isnt to many around, especially in our state.

RWD and AWD is a different story, you can really have fast streetable cars with those drivetrains ;)

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

my thoughts exactly. DOT street tires (i'm not talking ET streets either :P ) and pump gas, anything in the 12's is pretty quick ON STREET TIRES. anything breaking in to the 11's with 'street' tires and pump gas is pretty fast. now take the same car and change nothing except for putting slicks and a car that runs a high 12's or low 13's on street tires, will now be a low 12 second car, and a car that was running high 11's on street tires will be in to the low 11's or possibly 10's, which is very quick for a daily driven street car. anything over 400whp on the street is pretty much pointless in a honda, you're not going anywhere until 3rd and 4th gear even with dr's. i'm happy with 400whp and FULL interior for my daily driven civic :)

mid 13's will be able to hang with just about anything but, low/mid 12's are easily streetable

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

11's are enough to put 99% of people out

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

mid 13's good for a car that starts out at 16.8 (my accord)

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

I agree. I also think "fast" or "quick" is debatable depending on your age and location. If you run a low 15 sec around my town you got a car that handle most out there. There are some exceptions, like the old guy driving his Rustang around on slicks. The cars and racing around here are mainly "thought" to be fast cars. When mine is boosted I could probably say it will be ONE of the fastest Civics in town. And reading your guys numbers, mine is ONE of the slowest on here. Guess it depends where your at. :-\

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

LOL I remember when my old civic was running high 15's and it was the ---- to everyone, I mean 15.9, 16.0

I guess my WRX is "fast" now with the competition around here. Well my town I can probably say I have the fastest car, I have not even taken the car to the track since my tune, so I'm not sure, but with 300awhp the wrx should be running high 12's. More to the Orlando area, a fast car is running 13's all night. Most high performance, or even performance cars out there now will run 13's from the dealer, so I think that is fast.

But there's still that F&F mentality that if it doesn't run 10's you are slow. I get asked all the time, so that things runs 10's, I just laugh at them and say yeah.

Some people I do take some time and explain the truth

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

agreed..anyhting you can take from the average 15secs stock/bolt-on down to mid 13s/high12s IMO is a decent street car

Re: What do you consider a fast street car?
 

yea man. for me it took a swap and then 10 psi, but i went from whatever ungodly time a civic hx runs to mid 13's. in my town full of ricers my car may seem fast, but i know that is better put as quick. in my opiniion anything in the 12's on the street is pretty god damn fast
