Default The king of the 1/4 mile
For you, what´s the king of the 1/4 mile?? Well, for me, talking about race and road cars, it´s the Panoz LMP1 S. What about 0-60 in just 2.28 seconds. At the 1/4, just 9.3 seconds @ 148 Mph...so fast, if u know any car faster than it, tell me here.

well, the link bellow is of the site of the Panoz LMP1 S, see with your own eyes

http://www.panozmotorsports.com/jml_car.html

or see bellow the test for Road and Track.

according to Lingenfelter's website the car does 9.5@145 on street tires.
According to Panoz they don't make a street car called the LMP1 only the Esperante and the AIV
Hennessey Viper Venom 1000TT 1/4 mile 8.93@ 149.65

They test different cars, not just road legal ones. They have a viper competition coupe and a corvette C5R. I don't the LMP1 is road legal.

Yeah amanthapar, i saw it doing the 0-300 km/h in less than 13.72 seconds...it´s very very fast
but the 1/4 mile, i have the video, is in the house of 9.2 until 9.5 seconds, so, equal to Panoz LMP1
