Greg, it's OK that you don't know the terminology... this is a PT site.

Well -- I guess I'm just to old to change -- because in my book an 8.99 is called an "EIGHT NINETIES" car.... not an 8 second car - implying that it can run near 8.0's....
The plate on Sabourys car says it correctly --
IN THE 6's....
In my book - if your car runs 14's or 15's -- then maybe you could call it by the law of large numbers - because who cares... but when you start dipping into the 10's or 9's... each 10th becomes harder to get... and in that territory I think the effort gets rewarded by saying a little more (adding an adjective) such as I've stated all along. It's IN the 9's - or it's a 9 five car etc....
I'd call Vinnies car a NINE NINETIES car UNTIL it broke into the 9 eighties and then I'd call it a 9 eighties car -- and I'd kiss his arse because it's a killer build.
