if you are talking about 1/8th mile, then that is decent. if you are talking 1/4 mile then that is just nutty!

6.90's in the 1/8th mile is good for 10.90's in the 1/4 mile. Any 10 second
street car is respectable IMO.

No chance that a street legal car runs 6's in the 1/4, so it must be the 1/8th.

Oh come on, there's plenty of 6 second street legal cars now!

A 10 second street car is very respectable IMHO.

Well...guys like to think that they're street cars. 33" slicks, 'chute, no
plate, no turn signals, etc...yeah...100% street legal.
