As of 2006, the world's fastest accelerating street-legal car has been determined to be a 1993 Vauxhall Calibra, owned by Steve Pateman, boasting a 1.25 second 0 to 60 mile per hour time, and an 8.14 second quarter-mile time. However, the car has been heavily modified, including a big-block Chevrolet V8 and a steel tube chassis

You get my drift.

I've seen quite a few 'full drag' prepped Cali's over the years....nothing new ;)

I remember one of the Cali meets a few years back, whilst on their cruise,the guys actually bumped into a white one similar to that being towed on a trailer going home from the drags.

When the owner saw he was surrounded by 'normal' Cali's he pulled over and had a chat with all the guys and let them take pics of his drag race Cali :)

Its a Big call to make, Saying World Fastest Accelerating Street Legal Car.
In Sydney, Joe Cutelli's "JOEBLO" Supercharged Rodek 484ci LJ Torana does 7.46sec E/T. 100% Street Legal, Full Interoir, Full Lightiing, Full Steel Body(Including ANDRA Cage) Passes all EPA & RTA Inspections.

correct, but how fast does it accelerate from 0-100.

[KID_SRi]

Well the Time Slips for the 1/4 give you a Indication what would be quicker to 62mph ;)

I'm with KidSri on this one, love the Cali, but I think the LJ he's mentioned will murder that Cali whatever way or to whatever speed your talking about ;)

[Calibrated]

actually, its not a true indication. because of gearing, traction, etc etc.. many factors come into play.

for example
in Jo'burg, we have two Turbo Kadett's. one runs a 10.1, the other runs a 9.7

the one that runs the 10.1 accelerates quicker off the line. due to better traction/boost at higher revs, etc. but after around 200m the other opel flies past him.

I must'nt Know anything about Cars or Drag Racing ;)
