Default What is fast?

We always speak about fast being relative to the car we are referencing. Indeed there is a bench mark for the truly swift of foot though. If you're car isn't anywhere near this, your car is not fast. If it is close, your car is quick. If your car is faster it is damn fast.Without further delay:

8. 12.89@115.81 Mercedes E55 AMG

7. 12.53@116.01 Lamborghini Gallardo

6. 12.53@115.38 Corvette Z06

5. 12.48@117.42 Mercedes SL600

4. 12.39@118.43 Porsche 911 Turbo

3. 12.07@120.04 Viper SRT-10

2. 11.69@122.74 Ford GT

1. 11.51@127.38 Saleen S7 Competition



Also good to note is that your car may run as fast one day but you will rarely beat one of these cars and remain in such comfort. I think number eight should give some of you pause.

I drove a 91 Eagle Talon Turbo AWD that would easily keep up with most of that pack. Can easily pull high 11's and low 12's... stock.

Can be yours for $3k too.

...maybe I'm missing something, but a Talon is not going to run 11's or 12's from the factory :loco:.
