In the current fleet, that runs, and get to 60, so excuding the minibike and tractor? Moby the Road Condo will like totally smoke your  Tioga, man. 36', 22k, well 22k if I empty it and don't put half a ton of water in the fresh tank, turbokitty 3208 and allison 4speed, we got dis. Needs a chute at the end of that 1/4 mile run. For those 50 seconds, I'm free....

Actually I've never timed it to 60 or qtrmile. Some things don't need to be known. I did time someone's... what was it, the front drive class A with the Buick drivetrain? It felt maybe a touch slower than Moby and did the quarter in 22 flat @60mph. It spun a bit at the launch. Drag slicks woulda got it into the 8's fersure.

Trans is a TH400 that is in third at 25 mph regardless of throttle position. 

That sounds like it's broken

Amateurs.

39.2 rwhp, corrected for altitude. It'll do 60. Just.

Apexcarver how ironic you posted a 500cc car and a 1000cc car. 

My F500 with autocross gearing is probably doing 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and the 1171cc 80whp 1600lb Datsun is probably good for a mind blowing 13-14 second run.

Likely the slowest is going to be the 1990 Ford E250 class B RV or the 1962 Honda 90. The 90 will just do 63 mph.

Its a tossup, as I've never really tested either. 

I've got a '12 V6 awd RAV4  which scoots with laughable willingness. To be honest, that's why i bought it over a newer one. 

Ive also got a 13 Nissan Armada 4x4  the size of my living room and weights in at 6k lbs.  The catch with the Nissan is its got a 5.6 V8, CAI, long tube headers, high flow cats and a tune. Thank the E36 M3ty factory manifolds cracking for that.  The interwebs says its roughly good for 40 additional HP's, putting it somewhere around 350-360hp and over 400ft lbs.  Its faster than it should be.  I guess I don't have slow cars, compared to some of you.

My winter daily weighs 3000lbs and is factory rated at 190HP and geared to hit 60 at the top of 2nd. That shouldn't make for a terrible 0-60. For some reason, that I(and mechanics) can't figure out, it only revs to 3000rpm. The ole XJ's not exactly quick.

I'm not sure the 0-60 on my race Sonderklasse but it did the quarter in 19.7@67

A stock stick XJ is slower than an auto.  5 speed stick = 3.07, auto = 3.55 plus torque converter multiplication.

My GMT 400 Silverado would be pretty slow, but with 400k miles on it, I'm not going to test it.

Same, only 215k.

Everything else is faster. Except maybe the mazda5.

My derelict MGB gets pretty hairy around 55 MPH (the front end is quite loosey-goosey), I'll probably bail out of the gas before getting to 60 out of self-preservation.

3208?  Is that a Wanderlodge by Bluebird per chance?

05 V8 4Runner (7.2)

92 325is, drift car w/3.91 (6-8 depending on how fast you can coax the rubbery transmission into 3rd)

06 M45S (5.9)

08 Yamaha Raider, modified (low 3, potentially high 2s if not traction limited)

Ironically, the car I own with the biggest motor has the slowest alleged 0-60 time. (I haven't done real-world testing.)

1991 Mercury Cougar: 9.4 seconds (heavy car with AOD transmission letting the 5.0 down)
1992 Ford Escort LX-E: 9.2 seconds (the lowest displacement and lowest horsepower of the bunch)
1997 Ford Probe GT: 7.0 seconds (I have my doubts)
1998 Lincoln Town Car: 7.9 seconds (again, doubting this, but this time is for the dual-exhaust version and mine is single exhaust)
2005 Ford Focus ST: 7.8 seconds

In our household it would be a toss up between my wife's 1st gen xB and my son's Fiat 500. Both are automatics and the xB feels subjectively faster.

Came here to say either of my 1st gen xB's, especially the second one I bought for $2500 a few years ago.  I still love them things.

Since I just sold the slowest (Tracker), I decided to check the specs for the fleet. 

1999 Miata:     7.9

2013 Tacoma V6 4x4:     7.7

2016 CX 5:    7.8

I was surprised.

I've never timed them but based on the interwebs it's a tie between my '95 Spec. Miata and the 2015 RAM 3500 that tows it to the races.  It feels like there's a lesson or a message in there somewhere, but I don't know what it is...

I'm 100% certain that Fiona the tow beast is the slowest.  2004 Suburban 2500 saddled with the extra weight of quadrasteer but only motivated by a 6.slow motor.  It pulls willingly enough but isn't by any measurement "quick".

My Lima powered Mudstain is painfully slow. I'll see if I can time it today. Guessing around 15 seconds or so.

Sadly this is what I have for a race car and is by far my slowest current vehicle.

Nocones, your post had me (literally) loling. 

 

Since I passed the Miata on to FBC, we now only have "fast" cars. The Sedona I timed right around 7.5 to 8 seconds, the GS430 was just a tick over 6 seconds when did my stopwatch test.

I thought my Suzuki SX4 was faster than the 10-ish seconds I'm seeing for 0-60 online.  I wonder what it would have done with a good tune and a cable operated throttle body instead of whatever the by-wire job is being instructed to do by the ECU.
