Nate, if you're competing, you sign up knowing that you will be going heads up with cars that could be potentially be running against 9-11 second cars. As a 12 second Impreza, your only hope is that they redlight or break.
Wes ran 12.61 or so and was actually competitive and made it into the quick 8. That wasn't for the fastest streetcar, though, iirc. It was for the fastest import...but same concept.

^^ what car? i'm trying to get my friend to run his 10 sec. toyota corolla again...(its a yellow one) hopefully he'll realize that car shows aren't his thing anymore(at least for old school toyota's like his) and brings it back to where his car belongs. on the 1/4 mile.
