So when is FAST.....

[OrangeChevyII]

So when is fast considered fast? I remember back in the day when you had a 8.90 car or truck that was hauling ass in the 1/8 mile. Seems like here lately money bags racing has taken effect over racing and now all the sudden unless you run faster than a 6.90 your slow. What happened? I really think this is why people dont go to the races no more. Brand new Zo6's that cost 80,000 bux that run in the 11's are worshiped buy all motor heads. Shit thats not impressive at all.

Give me any early model performance car that begs to have the shit drove out of them that has a freakin carbuerater on it and spend less than 4 grand on it and run 10's all night long on motor or spray. May not be a brand new mustang or corvette but you just kicked the shit out of there 30-80,000 pos new car that will be broke down just like your shit if they drive it hard enough.

To all the slower street cars that run 8.0's or faster....I give you props, your cars are fast. :cool:
So when do the rest of you consider a car being fast?

[atowncruzer]

thanks i agree w/ you. my stang is 10 years old and it probably runs 8.50s ( haven't ran new combo) its my daily driver and i beat it all the time. thats true racing and true car guys. any tard can go buy a z06 or cobra ( i like them too dont get me wrong ) but that doesnt make them a car guy or a racer. street cars with wiskey dents and rubber on the fenders are my vote.

[mustangguy289]

Fast is whatever satisfies you. A single person will never be the fastest. We can all strive all we want... someone will have more money and be faster. It all depends on your wants and limitations for the car. People tell me I'm slow all the time but it does not bother me. Its still fun for me to get out and drive the shit out of the car. Just because im 20, in college, and have no money to put in my car doesn't mean i should not be able to have fun just because im no were near as fast as somebody else.

[slow99]

my car will hit 7's at over 90 so it's fast to me. i know it isn't the fastest thing out by a long shot but will take 99% of cars on the road. if it's fast to you then it's fast i guess, there's always someone faster. i just hate the guys that just buy their new car and think it's the fastest thing on the road and instigate shit and act stupid all the time. for instance i had an evo with the dealer tags still on revving all over me once in heavy traffic and acting like an idiot.
on the z06 thing, it's a total package, and bone stock to the shitty runflats they're hitting low 11s. they aren't even made to just drag race, the handling and braking is equally impressive. and everyone i know of who's bought one is paying 70K, not 80K. the fact it'll take the vast majority of cars costing twice and even more is what's impressive. i'd take a z06 over any older fox or what have you setup to run the quarter. like people always say when it comes up, hell we should all just drive $10K foxes that hit 6's. for some people that's cool, others it's not. i'd take the new Z over an older drag car anyday. and plenty of people on here would call me a dumbass for saying that, different strokes for different folks. :)

[302_plus_a_few]

Everyone's defintion of fast is going to be different but I do know that 7.80s with a Big Block is S-L-O-W especially when low 6s was promised! :p

[mustangguy289]

, different strokes for different folks. :)
agreed and if your worried about whether or not someone else thinks your fast then your in the wrong sport.. cuz no matter how fast you are there will be someone who thinks its shitty

[Ylw 98~~SNAKE~~]

anything that can lay rubber from a 60mph roll is pretty fast IMO

Im happy running high 7's to low 8's in the eighth mile, but always trying to find ways to go faster :D

[OrangeChevyII]

Everyone's defintion of fast is going to be different but I do know that 7.80s with a Big Block is S-L-O-W especially when low 6s was promised! :p


What makes you think I havnt been any faster? I have, I'll tell you now that its been 107 in the 1/8. Thats just a warm up pass too. ;)

Well weather you buy a new car or not, I prefer "Early Iron". My car is fast, it weighs 3450 pounds and runs 107 in the 1/8 with a 1.66 60 ft. Its not fast enough though, but hey it has a 2 speed in it with 28" tall tires runs on pump gas and you could go any where with it you wish. Not to mention all the internals say GM.

I know you have been in the same situation.Why do you keep bringing shit up for dummy.He already said he was embarrased and should not have claimed anything.Does it make you feel better to keep digging up old shit.he did run alot faster than 7.80's too but i guess you didnt know that bins your stuck in the past.Oh well im happy with running low 7's in my big ass Blazer and i dont care if people think that is slow. :cool:

If you are getting that excited after 6 or 7 seconds, I would hate think what your sex life is like....

Fast? Go racing for 20-30 minutes at a time and then I will start listening to "what is fast arguements".... :D

[HEAT TREATED]

If you have fun in your car/truck , " Thats all that matters ". Who gives a shit what people say is fast ....

[OrangeChevyII]

I just find it wierd that lately people are calling slower cars slow like they are useless. I remember back in the day going to the creek and running 15 passes at 9.0's and thinking my shit was bad. :D Damn, my 4 wheeler went almost a 1/2 second faster than that when I think about it. Those were the days....... :)

86 lwb Chevy PU street beater.........8.90-9.0 1998
86 S10 PU street beater.....7.30 1999
01 Raptor.....8.60 2001
72 Chevy Nova Street Beater........6.80 2002
86 S10 Race Car......6.20 1999-2005
69 Chevy Camaro street Beater.......Going for 5's to run in TTT5

I guess my next question should be when is there a stoping point. This shit is a like a drug, you can never go fast enough. I have tried to quit by selling everything I had that delt with racing or even going fast. If its in you, your addicted for life! ;)

[bobs94formula]

I think he's just messing with him. See the :p at the end of the post?

My junker is slow 8.60's w a 2.0 60' but I have fun when I go to the track. Although the last 2 times I've gone it's been over a second slower and I haven't found the gremlins yet.

It isn't fast but I really loved driving my dirtcar. Talk about adrenaline!

Bob <----- 2 broke 2 go fast anymore ;)

Yeah I am with this guy. If you want to experience fast do some road racing. Nothing compares.

Sell all the drag crap and try road racing...it's an even worse addiction. It's amazing what you will do to go back for more!!! :cool:

[cryptic5.0]

like others have said, everyone has a different opinion of "fast"

having a 15yr old car that'll run high 11s in the 1/4 while still being in full street trim with a/c, good stereo, etc. is fast enough for me. I know that is considered shitty slow to a lot of yall, but it's enough for me.

[OrangeChevyII]

I let my cousins do all the dirt track racing ect....., I like to go strait.
I can honestly say I never thougth I would be trying to run as fast as I will be next feaw times out. Exspecialy on a DOT tire.

thats fucking bad ass to run that in a fully street trim car

This guy is wiser than his name suggests. :D I don't really care how fast I am just so long as I'm not the slowest one on the track and I can't get out of the car because of the nerves needing time to recouperate. A good judge of if you've had a good time or not is get out of the car and try to hold your hands completely still. If your shaking, you had a good time

[tphan]

Quick and Fast are two different thing...

4 seconds 300 mph + in 1/4 mile straight ahead is "quick"
200 mph + around an angled bank is "Fast"

[Green1995GT]

Yeah my stock motor 95 on a 100 shot went 7.98 and I was remembering when I first bought the car all I wanted was to go 13's in the quarter, now I run a 7.98 and go home pull out the motor and buy a new motor. And now that I have that motor done I want a 331 turbo motor with 1100-1250 to the rear wheels. I dont even remember how it went from buying an h-pipe to buying gears and being happy about it to want to save 10k and still have 30k more to need to finish. I keep wondering if when I get this other motor done if I will even be happy with it.

Kevinit always gets out of hand! especially if you have a rival or a bunch of buddies doing the same damn thing! :( like everbody else has been thru you start off trying to make a ton of power but forget(or don't know yet)you have to back it with a fuel system to make the damn power and then you have to buy suspension to make it hook and then to top all that all off you have to go to the track to tune it for that perfect set up and afterall that you might not even be capable of driving it to it's best posible ET's?(although everybody wants to believe their the next john force) so actually you should make reasonable goals for yourself and don't try to keep up with the moneybags that can just throw ton's of money away or for the people who have no kids or any other responsiblities(like alot of the people on here) cause' it's just impossible! I myself am guilty of trying to go so fast my pockets and since of reality can't keep up! :o so now I find myself debating on which way to go? these damn projects get so out of hands sometimes it's freakin' frustrating! I've got so mad at my hooptie I almost sold it all,traded it,parted it out, sold some stuff already,broke alot of shit,and tried trading stuff to get other shit! so all this time doing all this bullshit my car has been down for over a year and guess what? no racing or any damn fun for me at all even if it's going slow!!!! :( :mad: how many of you are as guilty as I am? :confused: :D

Me I put my H/C/I 302 in my car drove it for two months 1000miles and the motor is already coming back out. Its stupid 1000 miles on a TKO and I am thinking about going automatic, just put the auburn pro in and 31 spline axles and I havent even driven it more than 2k miles in the last year. Its stupid, but its not trying to keep up with anybody, its just I want to have a fast street car and a fast track car all in one and it doesnt work too well. I am trying to make an 1100 hp car with a/c and etc. and I really dont know if it is possible with out spending wayyy tooooo much money.

Oh well, it will be running again soon I just hope I am happy with it this time.

Kevindon't feel bad,I have had my Tko for a few years now but less then 2k miles if that! I also have H/C/I full exhaust and did have nitrous but ran into all kinds of other problems trying to break the sound barrier!!! ripped rearend,broken studs,not enough fuel,etc,etc.. then on top of that not enought T&T or any dyno time at all! :(

I see your stories of people saying they have so many miles on a brand new motor and so on, well guess what, my motor may have 500 miles on it and its sitting next to the car. The et's are not good enough for what I need to be competitive in TTT5. Not to mention kinda scared of runnng the EtS I was with stock internals. :D

[stick junky]

ok, first post here ever, but ive watched and read this site for months. this thread got my attention b/c the answer is NEVER!!!! flat out, you wont ever be satisfied, and will always want to go faster. i see what times you guys run that you typed up, and it dosnt matter how fast it is currently, it applies to everyone.....you wont be happy!!!!

[OrangeChevyII]

I know what your talking about, I tried to get out, sold the race car, sold the enclosed trailer and all the tools that went with it........said I was through with wanting to go fast. Now I have a another "Go Fast" car that started out as a little beater, then it go t a new motor, then it got a new tranny, now its getting another drive line to go faster........once again!

[Old man]

Well the mods slow down a whole lot when the divorce comes. Hell I'm probably lucky to have the car to sleep in.

the worse part of it.......you never want to go backwards either. i would hate the feeling of knowing that once i had a low 8 second car(1/4) and experienced that, i would never want to turn it into anything slower, b/c then it wonrt be as exciting. and also, you dont want to hear others talk about how fast they are and know yourself that your old setup could smash them....but now you cant say shit b/c you got what you have now and cant compete with some fuch who thinks hes fast now, when you could smash him back 5 years ago. anyways, its never ending until your broke and just cant afford to go any further, period. wheeeh :D

i'll go with this answer, especially if they're 295/18's :D

My car isn't real fast, but it runs pretty good, and still has the same shit I had 4 years ago when I built it, except the upgraded blower, which only cost a few hundred for what I sold the old one for. I don't even drive the car anymore, I dunno if it is because I lost interest, don't care about drag racing or drag specific type cars, or just that the car is a pile of shit, clanks, rattles, and smells like shit... Probably a combo of all of the above, I still want a nasty fast car, but like slow 99 said, a Twin Turbo Vette that never breaks would be more my style... Or a turbo 964 that runs deep 9s on drag radials, like a bad ass version of the one in Bad Boys... that's more what I am talking about... :)

[badass88gt]

idk i have seen way too many kids driving junior dragsters with big smiles on their face and those things are freaking slow :p


they are verry fast, and like it says, it is what u think is fast

my kids will all be in junior dragsters

Speed is like a drug you need more and more tell your flat busted !

[87carbd302]

fast is never fast enuff!!! i always want to go faster and when i do i want to go even more faster, its a neverending cycle

[564826]

Most people like my self would like a 1000RWP just to brag about. On the street all that HP is useless. I am not a drag racer or a road racer, I just wish I could do all of the above in one car. Mine. Just my opinion. :)

[pbm.cc]

any tard can go buy a z06 or cobra ( i like them too dont get me wrong ) but that doesnt make them a car guy or a racer.


really...
i think u meant TERD!
and u running mid 8's is fast??? MMMMMM
i have had all kinds of cars....gt's lx's and cobra's
but ur making seem as if owing a cobra is like the fastest but its not. and ur also making seem as if your gt will spank lets say my cobra. but it wont. so how is your car considered faster than mine or mine considered a terd?

dude i dont really think you know what your talkin about.... :confused:

[street lethal]

I am satisfied with a mid-high 10 second car. I do not need to go any faster nor do I want to go any slower with what I have. I can drive it to work and then drive it straight to the track. But whenever I take it to the track, I always make sure I have atleast $150 on me so that if I break then I can pay for towing. I am very satisfied with my combo and it's results. If this hobby of mine ever turns into an addiction to always want to be faster, then I will sale the car and find a new hobby, because at that point the fun is over.

My previous post mentioned 10 second car and that would be in the 1/4 mile, not 1/8 mile.

So when is fast considered fast? I remember back in the day when you had a 8.90 car or truck that was hauling ass in the 1/8 mile. Seems like here lately money bags racing has taken effect over racing and now all the sudden unless you run faster than a 6.90 your slow. What happened? I really think this is why people dont go to the races no more. Brand new Zo6's that cost 80,000 bux that run in the 11's are worshiped buy all motor heads. Shit thats not impressive at all.

Give me any early model performance car that begs to have the shit drove out of them that has a freakin carbuerater on it and spend less than 4 grand on it and run 10's all night long on motor or spray. May not be a brand new mustang or corvette but you just kicked the shit out of there 30-80,000 pos new car that will be broke down just like your shit if they drive it hard enough.

To all the slower street cars that run 8.0's or faster....I give you props, your cars are fast. :cool:
So when do the rest of you consider a car being fast?Traitor>>> ;)

Whew!...........Just barely made the fast list. :o Thanks :D


For better terminology I would say 8.0's are respectable for street cars.

Whats considered fast nowadays...damn cars off the show room floors are quick and with a little go fast mods haul ass. My little sbc powered 240Z goes 6.90's all motor and with some minor mods could go mid to low 6's but then whats next!

I think if I feel the need to go faster I will just put a wet shot (150) on her and hang on for dear life! Wife just read post and said to double my insurance if I do! :confused: :eek: Greedy Wench :D
