What do you consider to be a fast 400m time?

10 to 12 is attracting too much police attention and and unsuitable for the mother in law.
9 or below is a track car and thats about it, cause theres no rear seats, spare wheels etc

This car ran a 12.9 standard. It has now run an 11.4 second pass. Driven everyday (not always to work) with Ipod connectivity, bluetooth, standard 6 speed auto, electric seats, power windows, full weight with the spare in the boot. Almost gets 500kms to a single tank, and to top it off, I have only been pulled over twice in the nearly three years of owning this car (Bought it when I was 23, now 26) and they were both at RBTs.
It will be getting an E85 tune done to it next week so I can get my 10 second pass.
To top it off, my grandmother has driven the car several times with no problems.

I think a HUGE part of the equation has to include bonus points(if you know what I mean) to cars that are street cars, do sub 12sor11s or whatever and can still do EXTRA things other cars doing the same times are doing. Like tow heavy loads, carry more people, are a safer car, wagons, territory's. And all things like this.
Being FAST, safe, legal and multipurpose is king

Car has now gone 10.74 down the quarter mile on E85. Full weight, standard stall converter, standard 2.73 diff gears and with the spare tyre in the back. When I run it on 98, it gets near 450kms to a tank otherwise, the United servo is 5 minutes down the road ready to fill it up with some E85 goodness.
