What do you consider a fast street car?

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

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.

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
