Like other drag racing classes, these cars compete in a 1/4 mile (0.4 km) race. They are the fastest such category, with the fastest cars completing it in less than 4.5 seconds at upwards of 330 mph (530 km/h). A Top Fuel dragster accelerates from 0 to 100 mph (160 km/h) in less than 0.8 second, subjecting the driver to a force about 5.7 times his weight. This acceleration takes less than a tenth of the time needed by a production Porsche 911 Turbo to reach the same speed. A fuel dragster can exceed 280 mph (450 km/h) in just 660 feet (0.2 km). The full race distance is 1/4 of a mile, 1320 feet.
Ok, 0 to 100 in 0.8 seconds. But you want 0 yo 60.
Lets assume the acceleration is uniform, we can set up the proportion:
X/0.8 = 60/100
X = (0.6)(0.8) = .48 seconds
So, lets say just under half a second. Geeze!!

I'll have somewhat agree with airpolicejohn, my answer is a tad different, wild I don't know the exact number for 0-60, I do know that it middle class top fuel drag cars run 0-75 in .5 seconds, thus, I'd probably range their 0-60 to be around .37-.46 seconds. In the end tho, each care differs each race.

a thousandth of a second, if they get to 300 mph in a second and a half it wouldn`t take long to get to 60
