Default Who's got the FASTEST...

Who's got the fastest REAL street cars, lets say top 10? These are cars that are driven 100-200 miles per week EVERY WEEK (just so you know that's 5-10K miles a year). And what do your set ups looks like?
Try to set it up as such... include mods on...
Motor...
Trans...
Suspension...
Wheels/tires...
Interior...
Electronics...

I know we got some hella fast cars when it comes to pure speed, but of the cars out there prowling the street on a Tuesday night (not Saturday night, a weekend only car), what are you guys doing?

97blkz, to me is the epitome of what I'm talking about 4300miles a year and runs 10.4 that's awesome. The way I look at it if you build it, you better enjoy it, and if you ain't driving it you ain't enjoying it.

Keep em' comin...

Yea, it doesn't say how many miles are driven annually, but it tells you the fastest.

10.48 @ 130 on a 150 shot...was my daily driver up until about a year ago...can still drive it anywhere.

Added a dedicated fuel system and will be bumping the nitrous to a 250+ shot...car should easily see high 9's and not lose any of the driveability it has now
