In the past weeks when I attempted to clean up to improve the quality of this list, all I got was edit warring by various IP editors who wish to include their non-eligible modified dream car onto this list without even discussing why it should be mentioned and another editor who objected to my attempt for a cleanup as I intended to tighten up the listing criteria. My reasoning is that anything less than 4 second is nowadays easily achievable by any modern $150k exotics that they see on Top Gear (as well as less than 13 seconds for quarter mile times) by the looks of this list, which was rare 20 years ago.
My attempt to reason with an editor have failed as he wanted a comparison of times by those currently on the market and those recently discontinued (looking at the state of the list) rather than what this list is intended for, about the list of fastest accelerating cars, especially when he has done nothing to deal with this edit warring that resulted in this article being semi-protected, it is difficult to source reliable third party times as media have the tendency to use manufacturer claims (which is not always reliable), therefore this list is heavily reliant on original research, otherwise unsourced, because that editor doesn’t want to deal with any problems on this list. I don’t think it is well referenced like it claimed on the original nomination; otherwise, things have changed since then.
I am very willing to withdraw this nomination if there is any reasonable way to clean up this list but not in this current state per reason. Donnie Park ( talk) 09:34, 30 July 2011 (UTC) reply
