I want to get a blower eventually and be in the mid to low 12s. I'd like to get there with 9 pounds or less boost because I don't want to forge the engine. At least not right away. With a driveshaft, electric water pump, and maybe LT headers I'm hoping to get there. Along with the FI of course.

I don't have a definition for what I consider fast. I just have to see/ride in something in person to say I think its fast or not. Mostly anything that runs <12.5 is pretty decent in my book.

What mods were on the car when you ran the 11.2?

The paxton kit and some Mickey T's. Stock suspension at the time.

How much boost?

No problems with wheel hop on those stock arms?

I wonder what people on say...a honda forum would think is fast? Or a forum with faster or slow cars? Like on the crown vic forum running low 14's is fast.

well yeah, out of a detuned 4.6 sedan with a sloppy auto that probably weighs at least few hundred lbs heavier than a mustang? i'd say a 14 sec. quarter mile would be awesome.

My friend hits high 14's in his prelude and he thinks he's a god. sad thing is, its a full bolt-on/built up engine. stock he hit 17s i think hehe

fast is how you define it. Theres a lot of 350-400 whp AWD wrx/evo/sti's around here. From a launch, they absolutely murder me. On a roll, I can destroy most of them.

The only car that ever walked away from me like I was standing still was a lambo (model unknown). Like someone said before, I ran hard up to 120-130, but when aerodynamics kicked in, that lambo kept on going and going and going....

+1 its getting out of control....

in my group of friends alone there is a 1000+ hp Turbo LSx, 800 hp procharged Lsx hawk, some fast nitrous Lsx's and a very fast 2.8 KB Cobra.. anything in the 12's is a joke nowadays.

IMO a car that traps 120+ mph is fast. Even on the spray I don't think my car is fast, it's just fun right now.
