Is a 9 Second 1/4 Mile Fast?
A car that completes a quarter mile (1320 feet) in 9 seconds is quite impressive. This measurement is commonly associated with automotive drag racing. Achieving a 9-second time is considered very fast. For comparison, professional NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) drag racers, such as dragsters and funny cars, typically finish the same distance in around 3.6 to 4 seconds.
