With a Muscle Car Club membership, you will have full access to view all our fastest accelerating production car information!
The following is a list we've
compiled of the fastest accelerating production cars (F.A.P.C.) 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.
