I want to make a thread about fastest street legal dragsters. Post about the cars or bikes you know.

Here is the Honda CBR1100XX of Kent Stotz. It wears a highway number plate while racing. produces around 600bhp and set a time of 7.335 secs in AMA Prostar Pro Street Class

This is Barry Henson's Hayabusa. It reached 200.20MPH at the finish of the quarter mile

I don't have much info abt the fastest street legal drag cars. So SCFers help me out here

depending on the car, most of them are hard 2 keep street legal while modding out the engine, cat back, blah blah blah so i cant help u thr, but those guys up top r all drag race dudes as in on a track so i dont even think that those guys are street legal btw

no the bikes i posted are 101 percent street legal The class they race are only open to street legal bikes

yeah you can tell by the front forks...

The non street legal bikes have the forks pushed further back so they can extend the arm further out..

thus takin them out of that class

no the bikes i posted are 101 percent street legal The class they race are only open to street legal bikesNot legal in California or here in Kansas. They don't have turn signals...

Kool Dude even i missed that one

No problem. As for the title of the thread, this below is a dragster. What exactly is it you're asking about?

i beleive that the fastest road legal drag racer is a vauxhall calibra, ill find the link from MSN.

-If you absolutely had to stake your mortgage on what’s the fastest accelerating street-legal car in the world, what do you suppose you’d go for? A Ferrari, perhaps, or a Lamborghini? Maybe a Porsche or an AMG Merc? Any one of a dozen exotic names, like as not. But, unless we’re very wrong, you probably wouldn’t bet on a K-registered 1993 Vauxhall Calibra.


If you didn’t, though, you’d lose. Because it’s official: the fastest accelerating street legal car in the world really is a 12-year-old Vauxhall coupe, owned by Steve Pateman from Hitchin in Hertfordshire, who recently returned from America after beating the local street-legal dragstrip superstars at their own game. But you may have guessed, it’s no ordinary Calibra. Steve mainly built the car himself, on the basis of a professionally built chassis, with the help of Tom Rayner. There’s a ‘works’ Vauxhall connection, too, in the shape of Jim McGhee, who is a member of Steve’s support team and works for Vauxhall’s warehouse transport operation. But to be honest, that’s where the Vauxhall connections start to look a bit thin, because under the massive hood moulding of the red Calibra you aren’t going to find four or even six cylinders from the rather handsome old coupe version of the Cavalier; and you aren’t going to find the original car’s rather modest 115bhp either – not even the turbo’s heady 201bhp. Oh, and don’t look for front-wheel drive either, or four comfy seats…

What’ll it do?
No, under this Calibra’s bulging but still instantly recognisable body work you’ll find a rather bigger punch – from an 11.5-litre (yes that’s right) an 11.5-litre big-block Chevrolet V8 that again isn’t exactly Vauxhall but is at least part of the GM family. And if that isn’t enough, the mighty engine that Steve Pateman also largely built himself has nitrous injection, and claims a maximum power output of 1400bhp. So ‘adequate’, then. 0-60? How about 1.25 seconds - enough to make motorbikes and F1 cars blush beetroot red. Certainly enough, even before he crossed the Atlantic, to have given Steve and the Calibra the title of fastest street legal car in Europe some time ago. But this time, the scalps were American and Canadian, too.

How does it stop?
The event was based at the appropriately named No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana, where the Good Ole Boys know a thing or two about fast cars. But the competition takes to the streets properly, too – because the rules say that you have to be able to do just that. Even though they also say that cars with sub-10-second standing quarter-mile times are obliged to have supplementary parachute braking systems. Just like Steve’s Calibra, which has a chute sandwiched between a remarkably standard looking rear bumper and the less than standard big rear wing. Fire systems, full roll cages and full racing harnesses are also required – but continuing the weirdness, so are lights, wipers and a horn, plus street-legal treaded tyres and registration plates – and tax, insurance and MOT!

That’s because every car has to run at some point on standard unleaded petrol, and to complete a road route (in this case around the rural roads surrounding the raceway) of around 25 miles – presumably without destroying the road surface or frightening the locals half to death, although that bit isn’t actually written down. If they don’t get back to the dragstrip unaided, that’s the end of their chances. Steve Pateman and the Calibra did get back, totally within the regulations, and in the match-race knockout series that followed they blew away all-comers, including three other competitors from the UK. His winning time for the classic standing quarter is 8.2 seconds, with a terminal speed of more than 168mph. And if you know of a faster street-legal Calibra than that, we’d be pleased to hear from you.

Coops goood job dude thank you and the Pro Street class run on DOT registered tyres

Not legal in California or here in Kansas. They don't have turn signals...

ya but thats a lame law...considering almost nobody in CA. uses their blinkers. lol

LOL, that is true. But I actually use my blinkers more often than all of the commuters combined. I even blink over when I have like 5 car lengths in front of the guy in the lane I cut to.

So there are no 7 second street legal cars right??

7 is too damn fast.
8 is the max i hav seen.
the hennessey viper 1000tt
runs mid 8's

So there are no 7 second street legal cars right??

...I wish!

Now if a quarter mile could be made a bit shorter I'd say yes but as long as a quarter mile is 402 meters I think keeping a car street legal while doing 7 or less seconds on a quarter mile would be quite difficult.

A 1100 HP Nissan Skyline GT-R, while still street legal in japan (but not in germany due to some daft regulation about noise etc) runs 8 seconds flat on a quarter mile.

I'm not sure whether or not the HKS R33 GT-R is street legal. It has teh stock body and chassis but the engine has been tweaked up to 1500HP using a single HKS T51SLP turbo and an intercooler that could hide a small human.

It also has a Hello Kitty seat pad :D

That car propably has a max range of like 50 miles.

And he needs to Blow it.

12 liters, psh 12 liters with a blower through the hood, thats where its at.

I dont believe that. Our Pro Gas car is almost 900 horsepower, professionaly built specifically for the 1/4 mile. It does nothing but the 1/4 mile. It runs on 112 octane racing fuel with 18" wide wrinkle wall slicks and is a purpose built drag car and you're telling me that a street legal Nissan with street tires is a second and a half quicker in the 1/4 mile. Whatever... someones lying to you. The 1/8 mile maybe, not the 1/4

1/4 mile in 8.14 sec @ 174mph

The record is easilly Brad Brands.

I think ONE of the fastest street legal cars was a Lingenfelter TT Corvette. It did zero to 60 in like 1.9 seconds. But I think the new Hennessey Viper with 1000 horsepower beats it. But while these cars are "street legal" they really probably arnt.

p.s. Before you ass holes say, But the Vette was on a track witha drag tires...SO WHAT! Take the tires off, and VIOLIA, its street legal.

There are DOT (i.e. completely street legal) drag radials. So before "ass holes" say something regarding drag radials, they should learn whats used in the class. Just a thought.

Take the tires off, and VIOLIA, its street legal.I'm getting tired of saying this to people... keep up the offensive language and I will delete every post you make! Read the rules... By the way, I run Hoosier cut slicks on my X-1/9. Take a pair of solid wall slicks and cut grooves across them... VIOLA... street legal slicks (sort of... never gotten a ticket!)


Oh yeah, thanks for beating me to it Slow

No problem. I figured by putting it that way that maybe he'd get the idea.
