wooooooooooooooooow....


have any of you seen the infiniti or whatever car commercial where the voice over says "300 horsepower is fast"



I seriously LMAO everytime I see that commercial. cus it continues to prove my creed that horsepower sells cars and torque wins races.

a 300hp I-4 could be faster than a 300hp v-6 or even a 300hp v-8

just like 300hp v-8 could be slow (see stock 4th gen f-bodys)

using hp to measure speed is ignorant.

and dont get all butt hurt about me calling you ignorant, its not a direct attack at anyone on here, just stating the obvious.


now as far as what I consider fast for a "stock" car..... define stock?
stock motor/interior
stock motor + bolt-ons
stock motor+bolt-ons+trans/rear/slicks
stock motor+bolt-ons+trans/rear/slicks+gutted interior


for off the showroom floor, I consider fast anything running 12.49's. (12.5-13.00 is quick, everything else is slow....lol)

now for bolt-ons... 11s is fast
10s is stupid fast
9s is crazy stupid fast
8s is crap crazy stupid fast
7s is holy crap crazy stupid fast
6s is holy jeebus crap crazy stupid fast
5s and below is holy jeebus crap crazy what the hell are you doing going that speed in a car are you stupid fast.



but then again, look at my sig.
