Street-Legal Cars That Are Guaranteed To Satisfy Your Need For Speed

Many drivers brag about their vehicle's top speed, but there is no legal way to reach it on city streets. Nonetheless, some cars are able to fulfill a car fanatic's need for speed based on their ability to accelerate rapidly. Here are twenty-five of the fastest cars around based on their zero-to-sixty miles-per-hour acceleration speed. Although some of them would be better suited to a racetrack, they are all street legal and can be driven on a daily basis.

This unique sports car was built in the United Kingdom and the United States by Mosler Automotive, a company founded in 1985. Only thirty-five MT900 road cars were ever produced, and this impressive vehicle can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. The 7-litre, supercharged V8 engine provides excellent power in a car that weighs just under 1,900 pounds.

Acceleration figures for the Viper are as low as 2.8 seconds, which contributes to the vehicle's legendary status. The 3-litre, 500-horsepower V8 is capable of shredding tires, and the iconic shape and lines of the car are beloved by American car enthusiasts.
