What do you guys think a quick street car should run?

Another question, does it have to run these times with the same tires you daily drive on? If so, that puts my car back to the high 13's.

I agree with red82.....

you think an 8lbs of s-trim would make me a fast street car? way i see it, when you get down to the low 12's, your gonna have traction problems without slicks, therefor on the streets you can actually be slower than the next 13.0 car due to traction loss.

My friend had a coupe that ran a forged 347 carbed motor, still had a/c, and started up everyday, i wouldnt say it got the best mileage with the double pumper, but he would drive to the coast every so often (3 hr drive), and run 12.0's with d.o.t's on the weekends, now is no longer streetable.

also another vote for a c5 and new cobra.
