    0 - 60 ( 1.9 seconds ), 1 - 100 ( 4.5 seconds ), 1 / 4 mile ( 9.2 seconds @ 150 mph )

    No street legal car would be able to beat it in a straight line, so technically, it is the fastest street legal car in the world.

    I've driven a road registered and 100% street legal 1974 Mazda RX-4 coupe that ran a 8.64 @ 155 mph, but I managed a 8.89 @ 151mph when it was my turn to drive if i recall correctly.

    So no, the lingenfelter 427 is not the fastest.

    (I have to admit there are suprisingly many road registered cars that can do below 9 seconds 1/4 mile around, its not that fantastic anymore)

    straight line isnt everything, and any car can beat any other car if you put enough money into it

    Ferrari Inzo, Bugatti 16/4 Veyron. Both street legal both beat it in a straight line. This Bugatti is the fastest car in the world with 1001hp 4 superchargers costing 2 million all sold for 2003. The Inzo is now the second because of the Veyron. I dont believe these count cause you cant buy them but there are a few concept cars that are street legal that could win, one of my favorites the Cadallic 16 with the V16 engine which would be the fastest production car on the planet if they produced it which they wont.

    16/4 Veyron has turbochargers, not superchargers, bro <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/emoticons.html"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://speed.supercars.net/cboardhtml/emoticons/smile.gif"></A>

    So can it handle, then?

    how about a suzuki escudo pikes peak, toyota gt one(only one was street legal) any light car with a blown chevy 572ci.

    ALSO CONSIDER THE 1.9SEC 0-60MPH WAS TESTED ON DRAG SLICKS WITH NARROW FRONT TIRES.

    Is 1.01+Gs on the skidpad enough?

    BTW this car is completely street legal, i.e the tires, it passes emissions, and there were no weight reductions, has A/C and power everything. I have yet to see a car with street legal tires and passes emmissions that can run under 9 seconds, and not have AWD.

    Nope. Regular front tires, and DOT legal slicks. That means, if someone wanted to drive it on the road with the slicks that MT used on the track, they can.

    Wrong.

    1. Bugatti has turbos, not S/C's.
    2. It's spelled "Enzo."
    3. both of the cars you mentioned are 10 second cars, the Vette is a 9 second car. When I learned to count in kindergarten, I noticed 9
     
  19. #19 Sileighty VQ35DE, Jun 6, 2009
    .... I noticed 9 was less than 10.
    4. This is coming from someone who isn't even a muscle fan.

    P.S. it cut my message off =/
