Can't answer the question because it's to vague! It would depend on the vehicle, the engine size and horsepower, and the conditions involved.

A standing quarter mile will take around 12 seconds by which time the car will be doing around 125 mph, as a roungh guide I would say to double that for the mile to make it 25 seconds

Based on a Merc' SLR, which does 0 - 60mph on just over 3 seconds. I would say, that it would take, very close to, 50 seconds to complete one mile (from a standing start).
