Is your ride fast? Or is it quick?

My definition is I borrowed portion from internet:
The quick cars accelerate really quickly but aren't fast. Fast cars have higher top end/speed. One car might be really fast 0-100 mph while another car is faster 0-60mph. In a street race which car would win?

Fast = 10
Slow = 0
Quick= 6

The sho is a quick car

quick generally implies that you have good traction and can put the power to the ground, or your gearing favors short fun blasts but has a limited top speed.

I had a 1990 Talon TSi many many years ago, and it was quick, ran acceptable quarter mile times, quickest being a 12.83 @ 104 mph.

My 2012 Mustang GT ran a 13.05 @ 108mph in stock trim, and 12.59 @ 113mph tuned.

Yes, stock with the governor removed.

I think I also consider agility in defining fast vs quick. A WRX for example very small, lightweight, easy to dart in and out of tight places.

The SHO a  BIG heavy car and once it gets moving is moving fast. Most smaller cars beat larger cars from the line. But then the behemoth gets that mass a trucking and lights out lol

My 89 928S4 is my fastest car, it is however far from being quick.  Nice and stable at 160  8) whereas Quicksilver wants to do less than stable stuff at 145 :-

Jack up the 928S4 on monster truck tires and see if the comparison still holds!

Fast is putting down stripes in 3rd gear on the freeway and pulling to the top of 5th before you can remember if your life insurance is paid up. 

Quick is launching with the front wheels up and doing a 1/4 mile pass mid-11's or under.

To me the SHO is neither, its just a fun daily. :)  Given my other two choices in the garage I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to referencing the two adjectives of speed.

To me the terms are relative to what you have experienced. To a top fuel guy nothing else is fast.

But in regular term I have viewed fast as super or hyper cars or a modified one in the same league. Quick cars to me are like the sho or wrx. Daily drivers that out preform 90plus percent of the normal cars you see on a daily basis

But as power has increased the terms have changed. Except for a certain few. Our sho and many other similar modern performance oriented vehicles out perform so many super cars of 80 and 90s.  There was a time that any sub 5 second street legal car was amazing. Now you need a sub 3 second 0 to 60 and a 9 or 10 second car to be considered fast.

That is an excellent analogy. When the 90's rolled in, America's super car......

1990 Corvette ZR-1

"Let the record show that after easing off the line at about 1500 rpm to avoid wheelspin, the ZR-1 goes from 0 to 60 in 4.9 seconds and gets to the
quarter-mile marker in 13.4 seconds. Speed-shifted, Corvette engineer Jim Ingles-style, it's a few tenths quicker. When it's time to stop, this 3680-lb
sports car comes to a halt in 132 feet from 60 mph and 233 feet from 80 mph. Im­pressive? You bet! Also, better than the top three exotic cars (Ferrari
Testarossa, Lambor­ghini Countach, Porsche Turbo)."
