Hi All,
Found this forum and thought I would chime in...
There are lots of "street-legal" drag cars that can meet, or beat, the new record (which is now 9.8 seconds 0-100-0 and 2.7 seconds 0-60). The GTR did this with approximately 685 n/a fwhp on DOT tires.
The record is for a "factory" car...one that you can write a check for and it shows up at your house. There may be dozens of speed shops that can mod an F-body or Mustang to beat this record. The new, 700 hp Saleen S7 Turbo quotes a 2.8 second 0-60, but that car is $555,000!!! No numbers listed for 0-100-0. BTW, a 685 fwhp Ultima can be had for around $85k, depending on options.
