rick, doubt its far off that... my modded XR4x4 (quicker than a std rst easily) was running mid 16s (i got a 15.9 but we're taking full on clutch-sidestepping launch here)

My 250bhp RST only managed a 14.75
Want to try again though now the OTT soundsystem has been removed (along with just about everything else)

your looking around the 16's for a standerd well maintained car with good tyres.
so get your spanners out, spend a few grand, have a play and get in the 13's

Powerfull fwd fords make absoulutely wank drag cars imo. Dont know why folk bother with them if they want to be quick on the 1/4. Doesnt mean there slow cars tho, there just cack at pulling off.
