A 10 second car is any vehicle that can make a 1/4 mile drag in less then 10 sec.

I may be wrong, but I think it is any vehicle that runs the 1/4 in the 10s. For instance, I think a run of 10.99 would be considered a 10 second car. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Where are the lightening guys?

Well I think I can safely say that it is a car that can run a quarter mile in 10.99 sec or less

It isn't anymore. It was probably because the OP is in Europe or England.

What makes me think, is why this guy chose and F150 site to ask his question? While we are on the subject of Fast and the Furious, what exactly is a Gasoline Land Train?

I think he's most likely a new type spammer. Makes a post that seems somewhat legitimate and includes advertising links in his sig. The sig has now been deleted.

the ricers also apparently take 2 minutes and shift through 10 gears to run the 1/4. i saw it in a movie so it must be true.

o yea, don't run nitrous cause your floor will fall out.
