lets see if we can explain this in and idiot proof way, the saying 10 second car doesn't mean the car can do a 1/4 in 10 seconds or less, it means it is a car that can do it in 10.xx, the same way as saying a cosworth engine is a 2 litre, its not, its only 1993cc but its easier to say 2 litre not a 1.9 litre, it is simply a "term" not an exact statement of fact, if it was it would only be for cars that do the 1/4 in exactly 10 seconds

Why is it funny? A 10 second car is from 10.000 to 10.999 seconds, end of!

I think you are right , this has run its course and there is nothing sensible left for people to say now.

I originally posted up about the link where the guy says MPH being different, not a debate on a ten second car but I know now it's anything between the number 9 and 11. Which is fine by me as it gives me my aim. Although doubt I'll ever reach it lol. And I found it funny because of how seriously it was debated. But I've got an odd sense of humour.

If there are still people that after all the posts explaining it, still dont understand it they must be slow on the uptake or just posting to wind us up!!

I'd be careful using the Jenvey plenum chamber as its been documented a few times that it's not up the job with forced induction.
