whats somewhat fast for a street car?

[johnc1996]

eigth mile and quarter mile

[DamonH]

In my opinion ... 12's in the 1/4 ... 8's in the 1/8th. On street tires of course.

[KJ94GT]

I agree with Damon. That's "somewhat" fast.

[johnc1996]

so is 7.0@98 pretty descent?

Agreed.

[98DSM]

12's is very respectable imo for a daily driven street car on street tires. I'm no where near that ET wise, but MPH is another story :D

[E V I L]

STFU John you post whore. :p He has the bumper less black cobra, it will soon be out of the shop with bumpers and a different color, hopefully you can get that sucker to run 10's and win car shows!! :D

He "asks" because he wants his ego stroked. What would be even more lame was if the time is his friends car and he's trying to ride the "my friend has a fast car" bandwagon.

[talisman]

Talking 1/4 mile, I'd say low 12s is fast, but 11's are almost necessary to be competitive anymore. If you've got a solid 11 second car, you aren't going to roll up on too much that can do any damage to you.

[johnc1996]

well i'm seeing alot of cars on here going in the 6's
i think i could pull off a high 6 with front runners maybe...

[Keystoner]

i don't see that many STREET cars in the 6's:confused:

[98DSM]

Not on true "Street Tires", not even Nitto's you won't.

[Cammin4V]

Well, he is talking about running a 7.0 on slicks....so does that really constitute a street car?

I always assumed that a "street" car was on "street" tires....JMHO

[E V I L]

He isnt always on slicks, and even though, pretty impressize if you ask me, 18 inch chrome saleen rims up front on slicks running 7.0 is impressive, that car has a cd player, cold ac, FULL leather interior, stock 4.6 block, and is about to have the full saleen body kit with a nice new paint job and going to run 10's!! IMPRESSIVE!! :D

I guess...... then again, I ran the same ET a year and a half ago. No body kit though... :p

Arite, fine...it's his car. So, is he asking this question because he's stupid or because he's a braggart?

I find it hard to believe that someone can have a 11ish 1/4 car and not figure out for themselves that it's "fast".

[mikeb]

As an old fart - back in "the day" a 12 second car was fast. An 11 second car had slicks and was trailered to the track. A 10 second car.... was freakin awesome. A 9 second car was a rail.

Now all of you kids have power adders and aluminum heads and such and 11 seconds can be achieved driving through the gates with the A/C blasting and AC/DC playing on the CD changer on drag radials :rolleyes: :cool:

<--trying to adapt to the times

[93 Blk Coupe]

if he is faster than jc, he isnt considered a street car anymore...

but anyways, he seems like he maybe a lil quick, how about a lil race, you and your bottle and me and my motor...:D

I will come to see that race. :D

[KJ94GT]

It'll be a slaughter, for sure.

[E V I L]

Freds motor vs Johns Spray will be a good race, not a slaughter!! :D

Staging lanes @ green valley, circa 1986.

Ask JC he's the authority on this!

How does someone run 7.0@98 in the eighth and not know it's fast? :confused:

Don't worry, they do.

[inline 6]

I was once told that the bumperless cobra was on a 200 shot or somthing close to that?

[johnc1996]

There is lots faster cars out on the street.

[inline 6]

what else is on the car, bolt ons and a 125 shot wont get you a 7 flat in a car that year model.

[E V I L]

Nothing crazy done to that car, :p, P/P heads, blower cams, all the little rinky dink 4.6 bolts on and a little spray, and he has the driver mod.

I dont think 8's in the 1/8 mile is really quick anymore. Maybe an 8 flat, but 8's are getting pretty common. I say when you start digging past 7.5 on drag radials, that becomes an eye opener. 11's in the 1/4 pretty much assure not much is going to touch you on the streets.



<--doesnt run 11's and doesnt run 7.5 :(
