what do you consider fast?
range of quarter mile times........preferably street cars (most of us don't have full=fledged dragsters)
edit: my question was inspired by this thread

under 12's is fast.
That's my opinion, of course, and it has nothing to do with people that drive imports, you know I'm pretty unbiased, i just like the speed!

I'd agree with Mike
I agree with The Deuce's view of fast, Keith

That also depends a great deal on your elevation. Up here, anything in the 13's and down I'd consider fast. Some are just much, much, much faster than others.
Note that this doesn't include my car. I know I've got 13's in it, but the demons have held me back . --nathan

Deuce: Drag radials??
here's my list all motor no power adders. under 12.5 = fast 12.5 - 12.99 = quick 13.0 - 13.49 = respectable 13.5 - 13.99 = decent 14.0 - 14.49 = not bad 14.5 - 15.0 = hope it's stock right now my car is borderline between decent and respectable if your running under 12.5 on regular street tires CALL ME!! of coarse not all cars can realy be grouped together it all depends on what car your talking about.

Fast in 2002? I'd say any car that runs 125+ in the 1/4
Funny thing is...if you would have asked me this question back in 1996....I would have said 115+ However, there are a few cars that do that number today bone stock!! It's sickening...

I just ran a 12.47@114 in the 03 on the stock rubber, with only a drop in K&N filter, BBK X-pipe, and Flowmaster Cat-back.
The 89 runs 11.0's on motor (357 with iron roush 200 heads, Demon carb), and should be 9's on spray, but I ran 10.27@131 and lifted a cylinder head (had water in three cylinders on the passenger side bank). I agree that 12's and faster is pretty damn fast. 13's are real respectable. Thanks, Jason

It's hard to run 12's on plain 'ole street tires. Skyler only runs mid 13's on street tires.

....how fast a cat runs after you set its tail on fire
well you know, in the grand scheme of things, we move just about as fast as a 12sec car anyways...esp if you consider the speed of light (c=300,000,000 meters/second)....even those damn rocket cars are still about as fast as us walking around.....

My idea fast is when your screaming your lungs out with extreme excitment, your ears wet from the grin on your face and you feel like a kid on Chirsmas morning.
Thats fast to me. Can't always be put into numbers.

I look at the type of car/motor before I classify it as fast.
a 13second import is pretty fast IMO a 13second mustang is not, once again IMO a 9second crotch rocket is fast an 11second crotch rocket isnt my car is slow to me, it always will be. The only fast car I will ever drive is a top fueler

I've said it before: The only time I ever pissed in my pants was as the passenger in a blown and juiced 427 Vega while doing a 9 second 1/4.
That's fast. Take care, ~Chris

I'll dig this old one up. I used to think my car was until the bike, Now I just think of it as quick. For me to be impressed, the car or bike must be in the 10 sec or less 1/4 mile range to get my attention these days.
