There have been many different ways of measuring a fast car’s performance over the years, whether it be the time taken to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles an hour, or its top speed. Measuring the time a car takes to get from a standstill to the end of a quarter-mile drag strip, however, is one of the most lauded performance metrics to ever be used, and it is just as relevant now as it has ever been. This is because we now have a large number of cars, not all of which are million-dollar hypercars made of myrrh, that can do the quarter-mile in under ten seconds. The idea of a sub-10-second car was unheard of just decades ago, and even today some of the best performances cars like the Ford Mustang Dark Horse can’t get it done. However, there are now some cars in which the whole family can experience such blistering performance.
