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?

You should get an A45 AMG, the chicks love those. Maybe add a starlight headliner for extra class.
lol.
Request a fast and furious name change, post fast and furious thread...
Hmm, is this going to be a regular thing?

Also, yes, 10 seconds is still fast
This thread has nothing to do with fast and the furious? Thanks for input
Only if it has neon lights on the underside of the car. Otherwise it’s not fast.
