One way to determine a car’s speed power is to look at its acceleration. Common standards for comparing acceleration between cars are to examine the 0-60 mph acceleration times or 0-100 km/h times of different cars. For this discussion we will be using 0-60 mph acceleration times.
This list will include street-legal production cars, so modified cars, concept cars, pure race cars, and unique cars will not be included.
