Hey, come on. There is always someone faster. On the street, or on the track. You want to beat a motorcycle? go for it. My car goes a legit 11.95 in a 1/4 mile, with Track Claw on street tires. (and then I was asked not to run anymore) And in an open roadster, the trap comes up fast. Power to weight ratio is right up there with any power added street car that can run "stoplight to stoplight". (I think we all know what I mean, that's why there is a true street class).

550 hp in a 2600 lb car is not "measly", please. A Pinto station wagon is measly.

12 second street car is fast, but there is always someone faster. You might like the movie "The Fast and the Furious", they have "8 second" street cars in it.

And for the record, KC has to be getting a chuckle out of this conversation. You can always go faster, nerves and money is all it takes....
