Is a 10 second car considered fast by 2021 standards?

[Dominic-Toretto]

Title really. Is a car that can run the 1/4 mile in 10s still considered fast in 2021? A car running high 10s will probably trap around 130mph, closer to 150mph if it's running low 10s. Cars have been running these times for years, usually with some minor modifications. Is this really still considered "fast" 20 to 30 years later?

How big is the step up to a 9s car? We all know you can never have to much power, you never know when you might need it on UK roads to take advantage of every situation that presents it's self. Looking at Wikipedia their are a grand total of 6 production cars that can run 9s stock. Anyone own a 9 second car here? If so, do you think 10s is still fast?

What is this guff......

 

[Diddums]

You should get an A45 AMG, the chicks love those. Maybe add a starlight headliner for extra class.

Hmm, is this going to be a regular thing?

Also, yes, 10 seconds is still fast

 

[Spleen Sauce]

Only if it has neon lights on the underside of the car. Otherwise it’s not fast.

It's 9.5 seconds longer than you'd last in bed with a women so, yes?

Cars have also been capable of 200mph for decades which incidentally, is also still rather quick.

Nah anything 10 seconds or above is positively slow these days m8

There's are no Tesla on that list, but the internet thinks otherwise. Have there been any all electric cars on Fast and Furious?

No EVs until they have a Fast and Furious spec 18 speed gearbox

This thread has nothing to do with fast and the furious? Thanks for input

Yes, just look at the cars that can’t do it!

Thats the plaid though isnt it? The Tesla S P100D could only manage 10.78 seconds quarter mile

The plaid is in this list at 9.23 seconds

As long as there are plenty of replacement manifolds to go around.
