Yeah, its really about your experiences behind the wheel or bars. The first time I sat shotgun in an low 11 second big turbo Evo on E85 I about shat my pants LOL. Then I bought a 9 second rocket which made me realize that everything around you really does stretch out like they show on Fast and Furious :)

I personally think of quick as out of the hole, and fast as top end. For example when I had my LS2 GTO a buddy had a C5 LS1. He would get out a car on my every time from the launch, at 100mph I would drive by him like he let out a chute. Being a new owner I look at the SHO/MKS as the "quick" car, it can get chewed up on the top end. Not good for doing 60 rolls on the highway against 6.4 Challys but with the right mods would take them from a dig "internet racing here ;)"

Having never ran mine and not even having modded it yet, how does this car match up in the 1/8th vs the 1/4 against some of our top competition? I would think some of the larger displacement rear wheel drive cars can't beat us to the 1/8th "if they drive like me!" but then start pulling and in many cases drive around us on the big end. Obviously too many factors in play here, just speaking in generalities, what do all you track junkies think?
