A good question, but one that is difficult to answer. You see, most Pinewood Derbies are held at the local levels. There is no "national" Pinewood Derby races that allow us to determine which car is considered "the fastest". Best answer I can give you is that in 2005, the BSA held a national Pinewood Derby Race, in honor of the 75th Cub Scouting Anniversary, in Irving, Texas. The winner of that race was a car called the Brett Bullet. If you go into Google Images and search on that name, a picture of the car will be displayed. This is the only car that has ever been named as "national champion" and there has never been another national race since.
Now there are a few Pinewood Derby Racing Leagues out there, that do annual racing circuits, of which one of the most well known is the Lima Land Open, in Lima, Ohio. If you go out to Google and search on the words "Lima Land Open", you will find their site and pictures of past winners from past divisions. This is probably the best answer one can come up with to your question.

How tall is a pinewood derby car?
7 inches 7 inches is the length of the car, not the height (aka tall). Pinewood Derby cars are generally less than 3 inches in height; however, the actual height varies based on the electronic judge sensors that attached to the finish line of the track. The cars run under these sensors, so it is the height of the sensors from the track that determines how tall a Pinewood Derby car can be. I've seen some that can accommodate cars that are 6 to 7 inches in height.
