Drag racing is fiercely competitive, with only the best performers taking the podium - here are some of the fastest (and cheapest) quarter-milers we know
While it’s easy to time your acceleration and walk away with a rough 0-62mph time, there are more competitive ways to put your car’s performance to the test: drag racing.
Although there were no manual options, the SRT-8 had a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive as standard. SRT-8s can be sat on your drive from £11,000; we spotted a 2007 car with 80,000 miles for £12,250.When released in 2011, the C63 was offered in a two-door coupe, an estate and a saloon, all equipped with the 457bhp, and 442lb ft, 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8; an optional Performance Package offered 507bhp and 450lb ft.
Due to its large tuning abilities and an array of accessible parts, people have managed to extract 400bhp-plus thanks to supercharger and turbocharger options. One can be sat on your drive for £3550; we saw a 2005 113,000-mile car for £5000.Available in either a saloon, Sportback or convertible, the S3 initially offered 296bhp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine but was revised in 2017 to produce 306bhp.
296bhp was enough to propel it to 62mph in 4.8sec , 30-70mph was achieved in 4.3sec for swift overtaking, and a 13.4 quarter-mile time was registered. The 2.0-litre engine accepts tuning rather well and cars can easily see 400bhp. We picked out a 71,000-mile 2014 car with a DSG gearbox for £16,990.When the Colt CZT was released in 2004, it cost just £9450 and although it had less power, it still had enough oomph to worry the current era Focus ST170. The 1.
All cars came with a six-speed manual gearbox, a mechanical-slip differential to manage its 306bhp, and a transmission oil cooler. The quarter-mile is covered in 13.5sec. We noticed a 2016 car with 41,000 miles on the clock for £19,500.In 2013, Mercedes’ new A 45 AMG boasted 355bhp and was the most powerful hot hatch on sale. Audi responded in 2015 and Mercedes were forced to revise the A 45 by giving it 376bhp, the revised variants fetch just north of £20,000 today.
