Mine is 2wd with 371bhp and do the 1/4 in 12.91sec.

Would be faster but im a tart off the line lol.

With my power a 4x4 should do a easy 12.5sec 1/4, maybe faster.

I've run a 12.62 twice with 340bhp

with 400bhp, a nice box + a lead right foot i reckon a 12.0 would be achieved

I ran a 12.8 with a mild launch( standard 4x4 box ) a few weeks ago

with 400ish bhp so would have thought you would need 450hp maybe

more with a heavy launch

With a genuine 364 rear wheel HP on a dyno dynamic dyno i have run 11.3 @ 125mph in my 2wd Saff. Not sure what it works out to flywheel HP though.
