The following is a list we've
compiled of the fastest accelerating production cars and trucks built by any
major manufacturer for the North American market.
Although the list includes a lot of newer prestige vehicles that
cannot be defined as 'classic' or 'muscle' cars, they are definitely collectors
and destined to be classics. The data was compiled from the results of independent tests
conducted by several major publications in the U.S. and Canada.*
We've simply taken the quickest quarter mile elapsed times and listed
them in order from quickest to slowest. We didn't bother
including any vehicles with a quarter mile time of more than 14 seconds.
Trivial? Yes, but still intriguing. Why?
We did it simply to satisfy your curiosity. Accurate? Not necessarily.*
That largely depends on possibly hundreds of factors that need to
be taken into account during testing, including weather, altitude,
drivers, traction, etc.

* We cannot be held
responsible for errors or omissions, if you notice any please let
us know. The ** denotes that
these vehicles were wearing slicks (just as the factory intended). Given the nature of this list, we get
a lot of requests from people asking to add a vehicle or move one up on the
list, we kindly ask the public to simply point us in the direction of an
article in a major, non-biased, publication that has better test times to
back up the claims, before
adding, or moving any vehicle up in the list.
We kindly ask any interested parties to please
refrain from copying this data for use on other websites but rather link back
to us to help support the non-profit Classic Car Registry service and our
