What Is A Respectable Time??
Weight of the vehicle, gearing, ect has to be considered.
My 2007 Charger Daytona with mods runs 13.5, which I consider very quick, as well as most should, since it weighs 4,300 lbs.
My 318 Duster runs 14s with 3.21s. This is very quick for a 318 with stock compression and heads and works well for the street.
Anything quicker than 15.5 is considered quick, in anybodies book; its just that quick gets better and better as the ET drops. Like mentioned earlier in this thread, there will always be a faster car. No question.
Bracket racing is fun. There are quick cars, but the quickest doesnt always win. Sure a 12 sec street car is fun and all, but what is the economy and behavior on the streets with it?
As said before, anything and I repeat, anything in the 14s is quick, especially for the size of the 318 and whats done to it. Feel proud of it and enjoy. Its nice to have the biggest and baddest stick on the block, but its not always necessary to still be fast and competitive against the right crowd.
The way I see it is that my two cars are very quick and even quicker amongst vehicles with the same characteristics and motor output.Enjoy that car; that sounds like a stout and fun little car.
