    Contrary to what you might think, a true 11 sec street car is going to be quite competitive in most situations. And when I say street-car, I typically mean a street car on pump gas and radials. Who cares how fast it is if you always have to put race gas in it, change plugs, retune, change tires, take out seats, whatever, every time you want to race.
    And Im talking consistent cars...not cars that usually run 13's but occasionally will have a good day and run really well. The fact is that a lot of high-strung imports dont run consistently.
    Off the top of my head, I cant think of many imports around here that will run consistent 11's on radials on pump gas. And most all of those are AWD and have turbos with methanol.
