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

I'm saying - there are too many people on here making there beast faster than what it is.

The cost to shave .9 of your time will cost big dollars the lower your times get. Why not quote your true time, like we expect the Ford & Holden manufacturers to do. There has been two full threads about the VF SS & GTS stated times, with people on here screaming about .2

Yes, your 12.9 second car is a 12 second car, but lets see the full time - 12.9

At least I have a 12 second car

Every other publication give us complete times.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador 10.4 sec @ 136 mph (219 km/h)
2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S 10.7 sec @ 128.9 mph (207.4 km/h)
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat 10.8 sec @ 126.4 mph (203.4 km/h) NHRA certified: 10.8 / 126.3 achieved with street legal radials; 11.2 / 125.4 with unmodified factory tires
2012 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo 10.9 sec @ 140 mph (230 km/h)
2010 Ferrari 458 Italia 10.9 sec @ 131.7 mph (212.0 km/h)
2010 Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce 10.9 sec @ 129.4 mph (208.2 km/h)
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat 11.0 sec @ 125.2 mph (201.5 km/h)
