Is your ride fast? Or is it quick?
My definition is I borrowed portion from internet:
The quick cars accelerate really quickly but aren't fast. Fast cars have higher top end/speed. One car might be really fast 0-100 mph while another car is faster 0-60mph. In a street race which car would win?

That video was quick to put me to sleep.
Fast = 10
Slow = 0
Quick= 6
The sho is a quick car

I was wondering why we haven't heard from you in awhile.
quick generally implies that you have good traction and can put the power to the ground, or your gearing favors short fun blasts but has a limited top speed.
I had a 1990 Talon TSi many many years ago, and it was quick, ran acceptable quarter mile times, quickest being a 12.83 @ 104 mph.
My 2012 Mustang GT ran a 13.05 @ 108mph in stock trim, and 12.59 @ 113mph tuned.
Top speed of the SHO ungoverned is alleged to be 168.
Plenty fast for me....

what do u mean? stock power but limiters in the tune removed?....seems a little high maybe ...I was thinking maybe 170 with 3 bar power

Yes, stock with the governor removed.
I think I also consider agility in defining fast vs quick. A WRX for example very small, lightweight, easy to dart in and out of tight places.
The SHO a BIG heavy car and once it gets moving is moving fast. Most smaller cars beat larger cars from the line. But then the behemoth gets that mass a trucking and lights out lol
My 89 928S4 is my fastest car, it is however far from being quick. Nice and stable at 160 8) whereas Quicksilver wants to do less than stable stuff at 145 :-
Jack up the 928S4 on monster truck tires and see if the comparison still holds!
Fast is putting down stripes in 3rd gear on the freeway and pulling to the top of 5th before you can remember if your life insurance is paid up.
Quick is launching with the front wheels up and doing a 1/4 mile pass mid-11's or under.
To me the SHO is neither, its just a fun daily. :) Given my other two choices in the garage I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to referencing the two adjectives of speed.
Quick-0-60 before radar comes on; Fast-out runs the radar. Just sayin'
To me the terms are relative to what you have experienced. To a top fuel guy nothing else is fast.
But in regular term I have viewed fast as super or hyper cars or a modified one in the same league. Quick cars to me are like the sho or wrx. Daily drivers that out preform 90plus percent of the normal cars you see on a daily basis
But as power has increased the terms have changed. Except for a certain few. Our sho and many other similar modern performance oriented vehicles out perform so many super cars of 80 and 90s. There was a time that any sub 5 second street legal car was amazing. Now you need a sub 3 second 0 to 60 and a 9 or 10 second car to be considered fast.
My car is quick

That is an excellent analogy. When the 90's rolled in, America's super car......
1990 Corvette ZR-1
"Let the record show that after easing off the line at about 1500 rpm to avoid wheelspin, the ZR-1 goes from 0 to 60 in 4.9 seconds and gets to the
quarter-mile marker in 13.4 seconds. Speed-shifted, Corvette engineer Jim Ingles-style, it's a few tenths quicker. When it's time to stop, this 3680-lb
sports car comes to a halt in 132 feet from 60 mph and 233 feet from 80 mph. ImÂpressive? You bet! Also, better than the top three exotic cars (Ferrari
Testarossa, LamborÂghini Countach, Porsche Turbo)."

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?

This is a slip vs. a 6.4 scat pack Challenger(slip on the right). I'm left lane...he was scared and red lighted

The Challenger is down for the count.
Nice run! Looks like he gave it all it had too!

Thanks...he was pulling pretty hard on the top end.
