One of the first World Records published in this series is this car:

World record #7 – World’s fastest street legal car

It would appear that it has been unseated by an American car created by Rod Saboury, which can do the quarter mile in under 7 seconds:

Corvette is fastest of them all

From the article:

Saboury clocked his car at zero to 60 mph in one second. Moreover, the track’s Compulink timing system (which doesn’t measure miles per hour until the eighth-mile mark) clocked him reaching the eighth-mile mark at 4.56 seconds (159.27 mph).

Then the Corvette reached the quarter-mile mark in 6.95 seconds at 210.54 mph – the fastest-ever recorded drag strip run by a street-legal car.

“You can tell that he was so exited that he almost forgot to brake,” said Summit race director Nettie Damon, who clocked Saboury’s eighth-mile and quarter-mile times.

The feat was the accomplishment of Saboury’s much-sought-after goal of running a quarter-mile in the six-second range with a car that meets all requirements necessary to pass an inspection and be registered and insured in a state. That includes working headlights and tail lights, working doors, windshield wipers and turn signals.
