Cars with sub 4 secs 0 to 60 mph?

Depends on your target and intended use tbh.
Sticky tyres, suspension capable of deploying the power and loads of usable power and torque.
e.g. cars like these are probably nearer the 2's in terms of 0-60mph.
They are doing wheelies with £2000 worth of mods? yeah right! Sticky tyres, suspension capable of deploying the power and loads of usable power and torque.

Well there are two ways of looking at it:
1. Cheat! And buy a car already modded
2. But yep. For something like an Fbody auto. Large stall, body mounted torque arm, some drag spec shocks, springs and adjustable camber brackets with some large 28" tall crinkle wall slicks and I suspect even with a stockish 350hp they'd be listing the front wheels.

Red Victor on the other hand. If that were possible on a 2k mod buget
. Sign me up for 3 at that price.

It depends how you want to call it. The Mustang says cobra jet. So assuming it is one, that's a special Ford make for the drag strip. I guess it's technically standard, just not streetable.

lol, that was more luck than judgement on my part with the Cobra Jet http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/04/ford-delivers-2...

. Sign me up for 3 at that price. I was just looking for a picture of a Mustang doing a wheelie.But £2k or the best part of $3500 and I think you could make a few good mods to a standard pony car.

Well despite the fact that quite a few are hardly "supercars" and I'd also debate on if all of them truly are sub 4 sec to 60mph. That said, you originally said most supercars, so lets start with something like the 300SL Gulwing, early Ferrari's, 60's Porsches and work up from there. In pure numbers I think you'll find most in fact are quite a long way from sub 4's.

Im pretty sure if you took any car capable of 0-60 in 5 with £2000 you could make it less than 4 NOS, bigger turbo etc... it might not last too long but it could be done. What did Top Gear get out of the White Jag they killed the old Stg in?
Yeah that is right that box was beating 911's and ferrari's for like about a $1000 bucks. Yeah your right so basically if you nos up any regular car you are right it will do a fast 1/4 mile. I don't know if that mean a fast 0-60 though because it probably takes a second for that stuff to kick in like in the fast and furious moviestorres del paine said:
Yes, but the 911 is a complete car.
I should add that the latest Turbo S has been timed at 2.9 secs to 60 - not bad for comfy GT car.
What point are you trying to make here? The thread is about acceleration, why are you trying to argue "yes, but, look at the size of my boot"?I should add that the latest Turbo S has been timed at 2.9 secs to 60 - not bad for comfy GT car.

You always get the 'my Caterham will blow this, that and the other away' but so what, it's a one-dimensional track toy. It's more impressive that a bloater like the 911 can mix it up with more focused cars and do the whole GT thing.
As I said, a 997.2 Turbo S will do bang on 3 seconds to 60. That's bonkers fast.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVCAN-b-upY Vtec turned to 11
I have a mild mannered similar engine, (K20A) I also have a very early mini that could see 500kg and 13/10' rear wheels
that would fit the engine in the boot.....
or a custom Diahatsu 4wd running gear.....

I'm not saying i'm right and you're wrong, but that's only your opinion.
For the record, a superkart will give both of them a hiding, and costs even less. Even the "junior" superkart class (125 gearbox, open class) will do 0-60 in about 3.5s. A brand new outfit is iro £6K, but decent secondhand kit would bemore like £2K.
A 250 twin would be somewhere in the low 2's to 60mph, and on a long track setup will be doing north of 150mph.

Indeed, the list could be pretty huge if you really dig deep (bear in mind all of these are instant googles so may not be 100% accurate):Aston Martin One-77 - ~3.5
Audi R8 V10 - 3.7
Bentley Continental SuperSport - 3.9
Bugatti Veyron (inc. Gran Sport) - 2.5
Bugatti Veyron SuperSport - 2.4

Diablo GT - 3.9 Secs
Gumpert Apollo - 3.0
Ferrari Enzo - 3.3
Ferrari 458 - 3.4
Ferrari 430 Scud - 3.1
Ferrari F40 - 3.9
Ferrari F50 -3.7
Koenisegg CCX - 3.4
Zonda C12S - 3.7 (so any more recent zonda is almost certainly well under 4secs)
Pagani huarya - 3.5
Noble M600 - 2.9? perhaps not but easily under 4
Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 - 3.8
Caterham R500 superlight - 2.88 (apparently)

etc, not every car will do it but if you have a few hundred grand there are a fair few that can in theory.

Caterham's obviously aren't the last word in luxury but to say they are one dimensional is rubbish. Go have a look around and see some of the miles people do in them, unless you start to run heavily biased track setups they aren't that bad to live with.

Give over.They are at the extreme end of the road car spectrum, the point where another car for all manner of routine duties is necessary.
Great car with a singular approach, but a weekend car, lets be honest.
