The 2004 Ferrari F1 race car did 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds

and there are other high tech tuned cars that do it in under 3.0 seconds

Im suprised your websites list does not feature the UK-spec version of the Mitsubishi Evo8 MR FQ400, its bhp is rated at least 400 horses, from 2 liters and WILL, get to sixty in under 3.5. don't believe me? check this video where the evo races a murcielago

These are about the same times as a big road motorcycle.
Ford Cosworths have turned in better times than many of these.

Remember the Metro 6R4 which did it in about 3 seconds all those years ago?

a friend of mine actually got the chance to test drive the Evo. He said the boost on it sucked. you accelerate and it hesitates for a few seconds before it kicks in.

Top fuel rail drag cars do 0-100 mph in about 1 second.


I think they take the cake.

They aren't street legal so they don't count. :tongue:

Good thread.
But I wonder what the list is for production cars under $50,000?

There was no mention of street legal or production car in the original post, so it's all fair game

 

[pancha]

I don't remember the year, but it was somewhere around 2005 or 2006.

The Lingenfelter Corvette. . . street legal. . . . 0-60 in 1.97 seconds.

good luck topping that! BTW, I am biased, Vettes are my favorite!

all of these cars are so pointless, when is the owner of the car going to be somewhere were he/she will get the car up to the top speeds it can go

 

[marquis2]

As I said before, these figures are commonplace for large sports motorcycles straight from the showroom floor.

 

[blue ballz 22]

the only place that comes to mind where these vehicles can open up is the Autobahn in Germany. i drove a mercedes S65 AMG on it this past summer. i alomst had to change my underwear after that experience lol

One of my favs is the 1987 Buick Grand National GNX, factory stock would run 0-60 in 4.7 seconds.

but, it is more impressive to get a larger/heavier object to go that fast. I'd rather drive a car when it is raining and I can't carry my golf clubs on a bike.

Until a few months ago I owned a car that did about 200 mph...

and I got it regularly to more than 160 mph on German streets :tongue:
