that's complete BS, because there is no way any of that could be true! hahaha, people like that make me laugh!

i mean c'mon, if he wanted to feel special he at least could have come up with a believable story!

I'd say it is

If you check out http://timeslips.firebirdv6.com you'll see the best time on there atm is 12.394 (which is extremely impressive btw). So there is no way this kid is in the 10's. Besides even if it was possible it would be several thousand dollars worth of mods that he is not likely to have.

Call him out on this one. He's talking out his a$$.

He probably said he has a ten second car because he has seen the Fast and the Furious one too many times. Ever since that movie came out there has been an outbreak of "10 second cars" that produce 13-20 second timeslips.

I took my 12 year old nephew for a ride in my car last week. He was so impressed with how it looked and how fast it was he asked me if was a 10 second car. I said lemme guess you own the FATF movie? And surprisingly enough he said yes.

I then explained to him that 10 second 1/4 miles are insanely fast and very rare to see. Anything under 15 seconds I would consider fast, under 13 is very fast and 10 or less is just insanity on wheels. He was disappointed to find out I only had a 13 second car (stupid kids, what do they know?).

Besides that if he has a 10 second car then he will have a roll cage in his car and I highly doubt he does

What a dip...it is very hard to get to 10s.

If I saw this guy, I'd be laughing my @$$ off...

No power adders either...

Ask him why he isn't in any magazines.
