rob, my car is slow lol don’t lie!! Seriously though, what a lot of you guys said is so true for all of us. I daily a truck that runs 18.5 @ 72mph and right now I’m struggling with the fact that on the rare occasion I take the cobra out, it doesn’t feel stupid fast anymore & I really really miss that feeling. I used to be afraid of the car but I’ve gotten used to it to the point where I feel like I can just mash the gas anytime I want.
Which is why I think I’m going to stash away for a whipple this winter. 600+ here I come :wackit:
I think as a general measuring stick, I use 120mph trap speeds as a measure of a ‘fast’ street car (and I mean a true blue street car; basic to advanced bolt on parts, could be a daily driver type of car) If the motor has been out of the car or replaced entirely, if it doesn’t hit 130 its a waste. My best trap has been 126.87 with street tires, but that isn’t how my car will run on the street when its heatsoaked - it would be more of a 119-123mph car.
I should make the disclaimer that I just left and made a snack in the middle of this post, so it might not make a lot of sense. You guys are smart. You’ll figure it out. :burnout:
