Could it be certain point in which Horsepower is achieved?
Or a certain 1/4 mile time? How about destroying a certain % of cars on the road? A personal goal? When you think of your car being fast what defines that? |

Matt and Nate, you guys are thinking all wrong. Those cars may be fast, but neither one of them are 'original'. Sure, they put out the numbers stock. But one of those is on almost everyone's wishlist to have (except mine -- if I won one, I'd sell it). It just seems stupid to rock a McClaren unless you are a stuck-up snobb that thinks he doesn't have to do anything to his car to make it fast. Give me the cash that it takes to buy a McClaren and I could fix up probably 3-5 cars that would kill it. 4 Cars with the money to buy 1? Give me the 4! I just think a major part of being respectively fast is having something to do with the work involved in getting it there.
Fast? I think fast is when you can destroy most any cars at a random point in time. Fast is 13-14 seconds and under. In the end, I think, it all depends on the situation and car. Like, you could see a picture of a stock Civic hatch and think, "Slow!". But you could also see a hooked-up RX-7 Twin Turbo and think, "Holy Jeebus!". Its all in the situation.
