Yeah I'd call low 12's pretty fast, low 13's is damn quick but not quite fast. Fast cars are the ones that have the capacity to scare whoevers in the passenger seat at any given moment, can do wheelies and can spin the tires for 1/4 of a mile. Quick cars pull nicely at highway speeds. If I'm not mistaken someone on here informed me that the quickest run for a stock srt6 was 13.1. I've heard of them running 12.8's too. Go ahead and keep ragging on me for saying your car isnt fast, Ill be driving my regular old (07) standard (yeah its a 6 speed) crossfire until I get out of school (and pull the trigger?!) and get something nicer. I guess by then my mustang will be faster than your street chevelle too, but your the expert here. can we end this now? probably not, my guess is you will think of some other name to censor to try and hurt my feelings
but Im not upset, I wont hold a grudge here. Im wasnt trying to make this personal, or take shots at anyone, but people questioned my character and intelligene rather than my opinon.
back to what this thread was intented to discuss, I drive my "sports car" daily.
[edit] ok Im just trying to get the best of you, I obviously know how to annoy you so Ill just stop here. Your car isnt slow, yes for a stock car, especially with a 6 cyl. its fast, its very respectable. Im not saying my car is faster, but im also not saying im jealous of your car. I bought my car because it is the most cost effective fun car that I can really afford right now. If I had the money for an srt at the time I was looking for crossfires, I probably would have bought a mustang gt, as I only considered a crossfire when I found out how cheap they were. Im glad I got the crossfire, and i dont regret not getting an srt. your car is better than mine (although I like my 6 speed, and funky interior and exterior colors), fair enough. can we call a truce here, because ive had enough of e-flame offs on this forum.
Well, you should apply for a job as the new, official word definer! Your definintions of fast and quick are excellent! Maybe you should come up with more, DWS definitions to enthuse us all.
As for my Chevelle, there comes a time in one's life (don't worry, you'll grow older too) when the ultimate enjoyment of automobiles isn't just faster is better. I swapped the 4:11 gears that helped get that 4300lb car into the low 11s for nice, comfortable cruising 3:08s. I enjoy the better gas milage, lower freeway RPMs, and easier shifts now. So, the SRT is now the fastest car I own. It still remains the fastest STOCK car I've ever owned if I mis-spoke earlier. If I ever feel the need for speed, motor cycles can accomodate me as I've been riding those since the age of 5. I don't care how much money or time you put into a car, nothing can compete with the accleration and speed modern motorcycles can achieve for a fraction of the cost. My 2002 R6 ran 11s all day with nothing but an exhaust and a carb jet kit, my 2005 GSXR 1000 ran 10s without trying (and scaring yourself to death). Heck, even my Buell XB12s with a big old HD lump ran 11.40s.
