Says it will run high 10s in the quarter.

Looking under the hood, I can clearly see the wheezy 5.0 HO 2bbl that only made 155hp. Explain that one to me. Maybe high 10s in the 0-60 is what he meant to say?

It'* hilarious what people think their cars will do in the quarter mile. My buddy said his Sentra Spec-V ran a high 10.... If that is true I'm about to hit some 9'* this weekend.

My car can do a quarter mile in 10 seconds.

(if I'm already doing 90mph at the zero-mile mark )
