Is a low 11 second Mustang considered fast anymore?

Your SHO is a turd.....the only car it scared was my 300C....barely.....now your GT....and its driver....sexy beast status.....
To the average person low 11s is fast....it depends on your frame of reference. I have a disease where everything feels slow to me after time.
In reality your bolt-on Cobra is a very fun car to drive. Especially with 4.10's, and even more so with long tube headers.
I love those cars. The 4.10's really do feel great off the line.
I hated it. I mean it was fun at first, I felt like the shit in it because it was pretty quick and garnered a lot of looks, but then it became the biggest basket case I've ever known. And it had LTs.
Since I've started playing around with bikes, I may never get back into cars as a serious hobby. But something more fun than a automatic 2000 Civic sounds appealing. :lol:
Well I understand car problems...the 94-95 computer. Goodness the dyno tune alone was expensive enough. Especially when you have to go back twice LOL. I've put so much money in my car it's not even funny. For what it cost for my car to make 400hp N/A I could have bought an 03-04 cobra or C6 corvette instead. I probably should have, but I like tooling around with my car.
I understand completely! Different strokes for different folks. And when the day comes that I get my ass handed to me by something with four or more wheels, on my bike, I'll be the first with a big ass grin across my face waiting to shake the person's hand! :beer:
I'll still stick to my $4-6K bikes though. :banana:
If you're trying to beat alot of those ricer guys, yes. Otherwise, not really. I think it's more so looked as acceptable to those in the car enthusiast community
This. Not sure what streets some of ya'll are driving on lol
Well, there is a lot of people here with money for sure but that isn't it entirely. A big part of it we have nearly year round racing weather here, tons of space for racing and a several car meets every night of the week and many tracks both 1/8th and 1/4 mile all over. We also have some of the fastest street car events here between Tx2k, Texas Mile and the Texas Invitational. Cars is part of the culture here in Texas.
Lots of tracks and good weather doesnt pay for race cars. They have money. Or they live in trailers with built cars parked on the lawn. 
Normally aspirated YES, Power Adder Nope, that was fast 20 years ago~
If you can put the power down correctly it is fast.
I know where I live at (a small ass town ) a 11 sec car is not that fast but then again I have held my own around her with a 11.3x car lol but their is some bad ass street cars in the other towns around me but we do host the largest cruise in within a few states and have a big car scene considering, with all the people I run with I have one of the slowest cars but come next year hope to go mid 10s but still will be slow and when I tell people I just laid down 336hp on motor and 464 on spray they think its a turd but with a best of 11.90 on motor and 11.3x on spray with a shi..y clutch
there is a vid on youtube of farm truck runnin a 10.7 @ 125 mph. makes me feel slow :nonono: just modded the hell out of my camaro though and will be at the track every month next year until i get in to the 9's....

Around here is more 5sec 1/8 mile streetable race cars than 11sec 1/4 mile street cars. Everyone's opinion will vary but 11's is damn quick for a N/A stock appearing,nicely optioned street car! Some folks will say a gutted car or truck with manual everything and no a/c is a street car but not to me... maybe 25-30 years ago.
MANY 5 second 1/8th street cars? Doubt it~:lol1:
