My T/A is strictly a DD, no mods. I'm hoping to get my Camaro, its a dedicated race car, finished this summer in between semesters, my father and I are anticipating high 10s. We're building a serious dedicated track car out of his '57 and shootin for low 9s. I'm new to the sport, but it runs in the family haha.

What's fast?

Street: I think a reliable DD car that is well mannered and can pull 12s (high or low) is fast for a street ride. Any of those cars running 9s on streets w/ nothin but tubbed body, drivetrain and drivers seat aren't street cars to me they're street legal race cars lol.
Strip: Anything under 10.99 gets my nod. Again I always think fast is relative, I expect a Vette to outrun a Civic Si you know? But in general terms, numbers are always impressive. And not to advocate rice, because I think rice is different from seriously racing sport compacts not faygo clear lights and neons, if I see one of those nasty turbo CRXs at the strip running 11s I'll admit I'm pretty damn impressed.

Just my .02
