Default Re: What do you consider to be a fast 400m time?

I still think that for the main parts into the 10s means running on silly fuels etc. and generally just waiting for inevitable expensive repair bills when things eventually go bang, and they will go bang shifting heavy cars repeatedly down the strip in 10s. But yes a 10 second car feels very, very quick indeed and it is amazing that thanks to technology it can be done these days without needing 5000rpm stall convertors, 4.11s and burning 30-40 litres per 100km.

Wholeheartedly agree about the 10s

I think mid to low 11s is the sweet spot with the readily available mods and affordable base cars these days.

I'm at an 11.9 on stock sized tyres so with some proper rubber it will get down there and still being practical - running 98 and factory manners.

And that is why I reckon 10s are what you need to be just above average and be in fact fast (well quick to be accurate, but lets not do semantics here)
