Most sport 1000cc's are quoted at about 2.8/3 second mark isnt it?

With sport 600's about the 3/3.2 seconds.

All probably manufacture claims...

this lists quarter mile times, not the same as 0-60 but still worth looking at

https://www.totalmotorcycle.com/downloads/carmotorcycleperformancecharts1.htm

you will notice that the 2nd fastest car on the list is the mclaren f1 which is expensive, but is beaten by 25 bikes, one of which (thunderace) can be had for about £1500

the fastest car in the list looks quite interesting

I think the fastest 0-60 on a production bike is the new BMW KR1200 or whatever it is, 0-60 in 2.6 seconds.

I remember a rocket car in Autocar once quoted at
0-60 in 0.32 second
0-100 in 0.38 second! I think that's the record holder... Smile (The driver needed a fighter pilots G-suit to drive it.
Qtr mile was 3.583 seconds 386.26 mph at Santa Pod 08/07/84

It was called Vanishing point...

Hi

Force holding the tyre to the ground is gravity, equal to about 9.8m/s. About 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. Getting forward acceleration above that is very difficult with anything relying on the tyres for traction.

All the best

Sammy Miller... Hydrogen peroxide powered rocket car. That is still just about the fastest quarter mile run ever, though if top fuel dragsters were allowed to run 4.11 gearing instead of 3.76 they would be in the low 3s. The Veyron does 0-60 in about 2.6-8 seconds, but only runs the quarter mile in around 10.8 seconds.

Heh. I also seem to remember the article mentioned that the tail of the car was still behind the point at which the nose had begun, when it hit 100!

That Vanishing point car was the oddest thing ever, just a tubular frame with a long bodyshell stretched over the top. It had two tanks in the front, and the motor was in the back. It had a thrust nozzle of about 12 inches, and the motor was tiny, yet produced the equivelant of 25,000 horsepower (in comparison, the car that Hammond was using to get to 300 mph had about 10,000). Thats why it was so fast, it weighed 'nowt.

That movie is not sped up in any way...

The late Sammy Miller and Vanishing point was the most amazing thing I had ever seen at Santa Pod, that car was unbeleivable.

Sammy Miller was an oil well fire fighter, and he died doing his duty so to speak.

Yes, the Sammy Miller who drove (or should I say hung on to!) Vanishing Point. There was a memorial at Santa Pod for him a few years back when it happened and they put Vanishing Point on the strip as a sign of respect. It was a very emotional day.

because if the force holding your tyre to the floor is less than the force pushing on it to propel you, you've got no chance of having any grip!

Very nice, but this chevy is street legal, and very nearly as fast (6.99 vs. 6.5).

Street legal means lights, treaded tyres (still huge though) and a friendly MOT tester. Imagine rolling up to the lights against that thing.

The relative forces you're talking about act perendicularly to each other, and therefore have no effect on each other. Basically, gravity has got bugger all to do with anything when it comes to accelerating forwards.
