At the track running 9s...no weight saving, no slicks, using pump fuel, baby seat, floor mats, glove box full of cd's, street tune??
No need to get into this debate again on what constitutes a street car. Read the topic again. Does Not mention street ...... just what is fast.

12 seconds is massively quick for an off the shelf.

10 seconds in something like a 70's Landau ....... now thats white knuckled and totally addictive stupid fun! They were never meant to hit 200kph, especially in such a short time. Power steering becomes a little light and touchy and the brakes make it more fun at the end. I dont know if driving something a bit more aerodynamically modern would be as sphincter puckering

A 9 second XW vs a 2 tonne 10 sec Landau. 0-100 in a coupla seconds They always look slower in a video!
