What do you consider fast for a daily driver?
Previous vette had about 430 rwhp on the juice and it was slow. Sold it looking for something faster to dd and just haven't been able to pull the trigger on anything yet. I think 500+ in a vette or 600+ in an f-body are reasonable.
Depends on you're needs for the dd. as far as I'm concerned my 09 civic si is a decent (speed wise) daily. I get 30+ mpg's and it's fun to drive and cheap to insure. Not gonna get whip lash from it but it gets the job done.
With the technology we have available to us these days at a minimal cost I would say high 9s. No matter how you get there via nitrous or boost, high 9s and retain an o/d tranny, a/c and street car luxuries around the 3400lb to 3500lb range is very doable.
I have a full weight 02 ws6 for my daily.. Im adding full exhaust and a 150 hit and will consider that fast for a true 100% daily that retains all comforts.
Why? It will beat just about any other daily i run into, and a vast majority of weekend warrior type cars.. If not ill just get the pewter car out. lol

I think that the answer to this question depends a bit on where you live and what kind of budgets people have. I'd say that anything in the 11s and low 12s is respectable, but any dd in the 10s or below is very fast.
Budget for a single person is irrelevant when talking speed.
Fast is fast no matter what one makes or put into their car. Could it be done for less? Sure... use mild steel instead of stainless.. But then it isn't the same quality.

My old GTO was doing 570/640 Sold it and went to a
2012 Mustang with D1 Procharger(11.4psi) and a bunch of other stuff maybe mid to high 600hp car. Both were awesome Daillys.
Now im on to my C5Z with just a CAI........Needs more mods it feels slow. Good daily but the roads around here suck.
