go out to a drag strip or somewhere with the distance needed (not on public roads where its illegal) and find out, only real way you will know.

Its not illegal to accelerate to the speed limit if you dont break traction and stay in a straight line

nor is it dangerous providing you know how to handle the car, and that the road if free of traffic!

near my place there is a set of lights that are at the base of a motor way on ramp..... basicaly you can plant your foot at the lights and you dont have to let up till you hit 100kmph (but of course you have to pick ideal conditions)

it can be illegal to accelerate too quickly, the cops do book some people like that. just another revenue raising law that one though.

No but it is illegal to hold a race or time trial on public roads.
