Okay I see your point, but if you buy a car thats 11's from the factory.......that's not fast to you?

You were posting your ignorance with that statement. My car is slow so what, I would be happy with an 11 sec. street car. I would always strive for more power thought because that's how I am.

Sure 11s are fast. The reason I saw 10s is, its so easy to make cars run 12s or 11s that unless you are running 10s, its just not fast. Just like back in the early 90s, 14 seconds was fast, hell 12s were flying.

well i have a 78 ford pick up and it would be pretty hard trying to make it run 11s and try to keep the stick look. for one i have no weight on the assend of it. and for two its a heavy ass tank that will take alot to loose some weight. but either way whatever you have as long as your happy with the speed of your vehicle thats what matters...............

OK Good point.................but if you take the same amount of money and time you spent making your Honda a 10 sec. car, and invest all that money and effort towards a car that already runs 11's stock what do you get? My personal guesstimate would be like a 9sec. 03' Cobra.

Then you can spend...........I say $5000 on a mustang and make it a 12sec. car, spend that much on a Honda product and you're still a 14sec. car. Of course the S2K being the exception.

I dont think money is the object here, but the fact that the car is fast. I dont care how much it cost to make it fast, as long as YOU made it fast. Like those chumps in the Ferraris who think they are the shit, till they meet a S/C 98 Cobra with 485RWHP. Then they look stupid.
