I know there are a lot of people on here who couldn’t care less about drag racing, but I thought it would be interesting to compile a short list of the quickest 1/4 mile times achieved by each major engine family. I limited it to modern engine families that have gone 6's or better (too lazy to look into SBC, BBC, Hemi, old school Ford records). This was just a fun exercise in record compiling.

- JZ engine: 5.707@253mph - Flores
- Ford Mod Motor: 5.88@240mph - Mihovetz
- Nissan VG engine: 6.065@228mph - Lazcano
- Nissan VQ engine: 6.089@241mph - Scott Porter
- GM LS engine: 6.11@232mph - David Adkins
- Rotary engine: 6.14@228mph - Jesus Melendez
- Nissan VR: 6.211@230 - Scott Porter
- GM Ecotect I4: 6.296@222 - Carl Brunnet
- Mitsubishi 4G63: 6.52@206mph - Extreme PSI
- GM Ecotect V6: 6.523@215mph - Summit Racing
- Honda C engine: 6.525@210mph - AEM
- Volvo 2.5 I4 engine: 6.615@209mph - Eriksson Racing
- Toyota RZ engine: 6.659@212mph - Paradise Racing
- Nissan SR engine: 6.687@207mph - Sidchrome Racing
- BMW S50 engine: 6.72@208mph - Mattias Stenstrom
- Honda F engine: 6.749@203mph - Race Tactics
- Dodge Gen III Hemi: 6.9@201mph - Rob Goss

I’m sure I missed a bunch, but that’s good enough for me.

If there are any that I missed, please let me know. I could have sworn that Scott Porter ran a 6 flat with a VQ engine this last Fall, but I can’t find it now.

EDIT: Found the video where Scott Porter went 6.089@241.89 and totally forgot about the VG30 time that Lazcano racing ran.

Yeah, that’s the quickest street legal BBC.

The absolute quickest BBC is quite a bit quicker.

T quickest all-out SBC is quicker as well at: 5.67 - http://www.hotrod.com/articles/inside-the-quickest-small-block-chevy-engine-ever-built/amp/

Lare Larsons car is seriously quick though.

This list should be updated to include SBC and BBC times... they are some of the top dogs. BBC is probably the king of this list. It definitely shouldn't be left out.

Nope. I’v e contemplated updating it but I keep forgetting.

There have been LS and 2JZ changes, as well as a few other ones IIRC

Hello there good sir, the quickest a 2JZ has gone is 5.66 a Toyota Camry driven by Victor Flores, the fastest 2JZ belongs to another car.  The Mitsubishi 4G63 record is at 6.200 and the SR20 Motor at 6.24. Also the Honda K series motor record is at 6.68 and the Ecotec has a 6.218.
