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? |

I think as far as 1/4 mile times are concerned during the muscle car era 15 seconds was considered fast. Since most cars can do 100 mph top speed, the only difference between cars would be their acceleration. How fast can you go 0-40? 0-60? 0-100? That's what makes a car fast. I think 0-60 under 7 seconds is fast. Why? Because it FEELS fast when you're in a car that can do do that. Actually, I think my 4-cylinder Altima feels really fast. My celica however feels slow after hitting 40 mph, but it is pretty quick to 40.
