I believe that the fastest car on the 1/4 mile is an CRX that runs it in 7.2 seconds. What would this one do?

Old news?

edit: considering top fuel dragsters do the 1/4 miles in 3-4 seconds...

Yeah, that is kind of what I was thinking too.

They are approaching 250-300MPH 3 seconds after launch...

[turbomaxx]

top fuel dragsters are the fastest accelerating cars.

they run the quarter in like 3.x seconds

[stewie]

cant drive a dragster on the road though...

it said this car is for the track, but is also drivable on streets, hence the reason its a 2 seater. street drivable, yet able to track it so you can use its full potential i guess?

Not impressive. Anyone can make a go kart fast.

Yeah, but there is a not so fine line between claiming "fastest accelerating car on the planet" and "fastest accelerating PRODUCTION car on the planet."

Not the same thing.

It's fast, I'd give it that, but if I have the money, I'd rather pay more for a bigger, slower, REAL, exotic car, than that street legal, wannabe prototype race car.

Lingenfelter built a GMC Sonoma that did 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

maple still posting?? WHY?

[texasvtak]

Why not?

[Mista Juice]

Yeah, but there is a not so fine line between claiming "fastest accelerating car on the planet" and "fastest accelerating PRODUCTION car on the planet."

Not the same thing.

the article SAYS its going to be a production car..

[npor]

so maple you ever gonna give anybodys money back?

[texasvtak]

How many times does anyone have to say keep it private? You see me bitching and moaning about mayberry STILL not giving me back my $360 from TWO years ago? In public is not an effective way of getting your money back.
