My whole sense of speed is now skewed...

ChesteR · 09-27-2001, 11:54 PM

I just went for a ride in a low 9 second Hemi STREET Cuda. I used to think that a High 12 second car was fast. It was the most unholhy thing I could ever have experienced. The best part about my ride was that a 96 Cobra rolled up with Flowmasters and genuinely wanted a piece of this monster. Do you think the Beautifully pungent smell of race gas could have alerted him? Or perhaps the UNGODLY loud staccato idle that screams "I turn 8K RPM and make 800 HP"
I enjoy mustangs immensly, but you have to find that enjoyable.

Reading this post, I just realized something pretty sad. The fastest car I have EVER been in was a 98 Corvette LS1 Vert. Likely a low 13 sec car at best. I have no clue what a 12sec car feels like, let alone a 9 sec one!!!
