600s end up around 10 or maybe high 9's with a really good launch.
Leader bikes ive seen run low 8's non modified.

Don't lie

14 is fast

ive been ridden a handful or pretty quick cars (10-12 sec cars) and honestly for a daily or regular vehicle thats bigtime overkill, but fun. weve become so numb to power tho its amazing

Regardless of speed, it is PERCEPTION by your passenger that matters. Here's what I do to some of my coworkers when going out to eat (we get long lunch breaks due to semi-flex time).

I drive by several turns I know well including a wide curve where even if I lose control a bit and spin, I won't wreck or hit something as it is inside and not at the guard rail. I deliberately talk up a storm to set the mood and prep the passenger victims. I somewhat drift around a few turns that I know and only if there are no other cars that can be hit if I drift too much. That gets them going. I keep talking and then slide a little in that curve. I am not high speed but that curve is smooth and not bumpy.

Now they are good and traumatized although I was below the residential speed limit at all times. Back at work, I get accused of being the HIGH SPEED driver. So it's all a matter of perception sometimes by the passengers. Just like telling a ghost story, you shape their expectations and then reveal the *BOO* and if you prepped them right, the surprise moment has far far greater impact than if you just simply moved forward with the story in a matter of fact way.

So, to someone riding your car, you can "gain" 3 to 5 "virtual" seconds if you prep them with the proper story. Of course, dealing with other people using such a story and shaping their expectations is politics.

>>16507170
>I somewhat drift

Okay bud. Enjoy your FR-Shitbox.

>>16507218
I do enjoy it. Pushing the edge occasionally is good enough for me. While the thrill of drifting a corner at 35MPH in a nice car is more intense, drifting at 20MPH in a non-expensive car is not so bad either. There is still drift occurring. But at the much slower speed, the thrillride intensity is definitely far less. But my skills or daring is not like that of drivers in some of those reckless youtube videos.

While I am not living in the limelight, I'm not in the dark either. Just the darker side of twilight is fun enough for me. I have to see one kid get his engineering degree and my other will get her masters eventually. Their achievements are a big enough thrill. I could have gotten a lot more car, but I chose to put the money into my kids.

EPA will catch Ford cheating too. Then we'll call your car "EcoCheat" instead of "EcoBoost".

>drag racing
>no driver skill involved

On a shitbox? Yeah, no skill involved. On a modern car that launches itself, has 4WD, traction control and a semi-auto gearbox? No skill involved. But otherwise, you're ridiculously wrong, Mr. Benchracero Retardo.

>>16511743

Get off Time Attack's dick, everyone knows it's pay2win.

>>16511807

Ironically, you don't even see the car's owner driving at top-tier Time Attack like WTAC. They litterally pay a better driver to win for them. That's the ultimate automotive cuckold.

>>16511743
>>no driver skill involved,
You try keeping a 1000hp Supra, trapping at 150+MPH, in a straight line without shitting yourself, then you can come back and say it doesn't take skill.

>>who can spend the most money
Same applies to time attack. Big money=fast cars, that's the way engineering mostly works. There's some great grassroots teams out there though.
>>trailer queens x cars that rarely, if ever see the street
Go watch Drag Week.
>>mostly occupied by retarded fatass "muricans" that think pushrods are okay in a performance car
Pushrods make plenty of power. That's all you need in dragracing.
>>still get btfo by a japanese family hauler half the time
You show me a a street legal 7 second Japanese family hauler then.

>>16502102
>10 seconds: race car that's probably pulling the tires off of the ground
Pulling the tires only start to happen around solid 9's though. Double digits is almost becoming slow on the world of modern transmissions and turbo V8 builds. You can now buy 700hp 11 second monsters off the dealer showroom that made the Viper look tame - and both Ford and FCA are gearing up for yet another round of 750+ hp dickwaving with the Demon and GT500.

lads hold me

Depends what you mean by fast

15-13 is fast for a basic street car
13 is fast for a track day car
Anything under 10 is respectful anywhere.

Like any of you faggots have ever been in a car faster than 14 seconds

Tfw eurofag so i don't know what these times mean
