I’m going to define fast as two seconds quicker in the 1/4 than what a stock version of whatever we’re talking about does. ---

> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Anything that runs \< 12.9 sec 1/4 mile I consider fast. Everything slower is just quick. > > But the whole criteria changes when you talk about a circuit track. I feel pretty much the same way, but I also put into play what kind of vehicle it is, not just times or speeds. ex, rwd or fwd etc. 12’s in a vette is fairly common but 12’s in a fwd is not as common and I’d consider those to be fast for what they are. ---

Slow - Who cares Not Slow - Still dont care Pretty Quick - Gaining interest Quick - LS1 Fbody, LS1 C5, C6, 03-04 Cobra Pretty Fast - C6 Z06, Viper, F430, My F-bod NA Fast - Lamborghini Murcielago, S7, My F-bod+Bottle Really Fast - 8’s and faster(quicker if you want to be a dick about it) LOL at people responding to my run times. Yea so last season it took alot of hard work to be able to run in the 12’s and next season i might be able to get into the 11’s. I think to get into the 10’s I would need some mods to my sneakers and joints that i just dont have the time or money for right now.
