What’s considered a fast car today?
I see corollas goiing 100mph down the freeway
Saw a grandma is a Kia suv gun it at a stoplight.

Most cars can reach 150mph easy now. Anything over that is retardedly dangerous on public roads.

Anything that does a sub 13 second quarter mile is fast
>>
>>28897821
Truke
But there's also more to life than a drag strip, if I had to assign a horsepower number to fast then I'd say 400 to the wheels+

>Most cars can reach 150mph easy now
I don't know how true that is, and they for sure won't do it easy. Most economy cars can top 100 now definitely, but I'd be surprised if many of them could top 115-120 even with a huge runup.
>>
>>28897821
Uhh a 13s 1/4 is almost not even quick these days. The Hummer EV is over 10k lbs and still an 11 something. A stock pickup truck runs a 13 something.
>>
>>28897851
Or, and hear me out here, the Hummer EV is fast
>>
>>28897844
No downhill specialist in your area?
>>
>>28897856
Yeah an 11 is fast. Being 2 seconds slower than that makes you just quick.
>>
>>28897858
my car can hit 200mph if I drop it out of a plane, does that mean it's fast?
>>
>>28897851
>A stock pickup truck runs a 13 something.
No. Only a few high end pickups are in the 13s.
>>
>>28897819
Even kei cars can do 120kmph. Anything over that and you're risking a ticket.
>>
>>28897819
>cars can reach 150mph easy now.
No they can’t you refugee
>>
>>28897959
>120kmph
there are plenty of highways in the US with 75mph speed limits, people go 75-80+ in 65s all the time
>>
>>28897819
the whole fast car thing is retarded and lacks a definition. is it acceleration? is it top speed? is being able to cruise at high speed for extended periods? years of driving i think its the latter.
>>
>>28897958
No. That's what a stock F-150 does. The cheaper the truck the faster it is...

More than 13 s 0-60 = very slow
11-13 s = slow
9-11 s = a bit slow
7-9 s = mid
5.5-7 s = a bit fast
4-5.5 s = fast
3-4 s = very fast
Less than 3 s = extremely fast
Doesn't reach 60 = a golf cart

>>28897980
It's hopeless man. These timmies dont understand the performance of a built Mexican GTR.
>>
>>28897819
My Sienna is pretty bad ass. I can smoke a N54 all day long
>>
Now speed is measured in time from 0 to 60 it seems.
>>
>>28897819
Fast is anything that can top 160mph (German cars electronically limited to 155 need not apply)
Quick is probably about 5s to 60mph or quicker
>>
>>28898059
this is reasonable compared to the usual american pov of anything under 6sec to 60mph is slow
>>
>>28897819

>Most cars can reach 150mph easy now.

KEK no they can't what the fuck are you even talking about

i say i had some fast cars, i did 180 on line for a ferry towing a suzuki sami on trailer with a 2,5 diesel in a vw t5 van. if thats not fast then i dont know what is?
>>
sub 7:35 is fast
>>
>>28897819
Speed in and of itself has become less important because even economy cars has 250hp, you can get 300hp ICE cars for cheap, and EVs makes supercar level of acceleration attainable for anyone with a job.

Now people care more about handling and feeling the car while driving.
>>
I dunno but I gave a zoomer coworker a ride home in my 25 year old turbo car yesterday and today at work they told me my car felt alive. I was just driving the speed limit on city streets lol

If your car doesn't do at least 100mph in the 1/4 in this day in age it's slow.
