Hmm, I did some looking, appears F1 cars are around mid-9 sec.

R&T tested an F1 Jaguar (year and driver unknown) at 9.4 sec 181 mph.

Earlier R&T tested a 1986 Bennetton B186 (Fabi) at 9.4 sec 167 mph (0-60 was 3.0), this was at race boost so 850HP.

The 1992 Williams FW14B (Mansell) reportedly had the following acceleration in qualifying trim (but don't know what 1/4 time/speed):
0 - 60 2.2
0 - 100 4.0
0 - 120 5.2
0 - 140 6.5
0 - 160 8.4
0 - 170 10.4

And I just watched a video from Fifth Gear, a goofy 1/4 drag between a F1 BAR Honda (Button), a bike, and a boat. The Honda is unable to use full throttle off the line and is just even with the bike until about 100 MPH, then it just runs away - according to the narrator, the downforce becomes strong enough to allow full throttle. The narration claims a 9 sec time for the Honda, but detailed results are not provided - the contest is just for entertainment. The bike does 11 sec.
