I've knocked up a page to try and record the current fastest FWD cars in the uk

http://www.mitsubishi-fto.net/ukfastestfwd.htm

Can you take a look and if I'm missing any 10s or quicker FWD cars from the list please PM or email me the details, lets compile a comprehensive list and try and keep it up to date.

Also please post the link onto any forums that you vist as I know there will be fast FWD cars out there that we don't know about.

timrud

Nice effort! Didn't realise there were so many vaux's in the 10's, thought it was only specky and sutty

danneth

civic top of course

zentac

There must be come UK Fords that can make this list ???

1223456

Why the need for an MoT? It's not like the cars are running in 'road spec' as some of the cars are running slicks.

Shonky

When a friend was doing 11.3's FWD with drag slicks 7 years ago everyone slated him for "cheating", it's funny how the tide has turned but I'm glad people now get the respect they deserve for going as quick as they can down the strip with whatever tyres make it happen

Did I see a Hungarian fiesta with mega power in the projects section? Has that been down the strip?

Yes that Fiesta ran 9s

I agree cars with slicks should get reconition, but also think they should be put into another class and proper road cars with road tyres should be bunched together.

Shame this fella isn't from the UK, this is one of the fastest FWD Ford's that I know of.

Edit - It's the one mentioned above.

zentac

All the cars are road legal with valid MOT's. They run slicks because if you have ever tried to run a high powered FWD car without slicks you will know that you get wheel hop and things go snap, on normal road tyres.

DanW@FastFord

Yup, I do understand that - but the point of insisting on them having an MoT implies you're judging the fastest road cars - when you're actually just listing the fastest FWD cars...

There's nothing wrong with it, so I'm not 'dissing' the site in any way - it just seems that you're blurring the distinction between road and non-road cars.

stevieturbo

Pretty sure Andy Nichols has run like a 10.03 at 150 or similar a year or two ago. The 10.23 on his website is a very old time. He probably just hasnt updated it.
For a while he was pulling some mental terminal speeds, but just couldnt get the grip and reliability to pull off a 100% successful run.

Pete frst

christ,it would be nice to see a ford somewhere in there..........

zentac

nah, I speak to him every few weeks and I dont think he has ever bettered his 2007 time.

oriurbo

interesting to look at the graph below it puts my fwd on par with a Lamborghini Diablo SE 30

zentac

Anyone know who has the fastest FWD ford on here?

and what times they do?

QplateRST!

uk car is luca with a 12.44!!!!

RickyLee53

The Civic in first place hasn't had the time put over correctly, its got the 8th mile time at 6.1 instead of 6.5.

How many are on treaded tyres. Chris S was, wonder if any of the others are.

SiZT

What treaded tyres was he on? I presume ET Streets.

Mk1 Mex

iTrader: (1)

I could think of a couple cars that might make an apperence on that list.

Tom Scarletts S1
MK's FRST

Altho neither are now as they once were.

pauls focus?

XRT_si

iTrader: (2)

Mk's XR2 Turbo you mean? Ran a 12.6 I believe.

Tom Scarlett's car never did anything impressive as far as I know? Could be wrong though.

Luca, Crazycage and QRST Fiesta are the quickest Fords at the moment.

crazycage

and we will find out how much quicker they can go in just over a weeks time...

Rick

And Crazycage's car is nothing like any of the others! He uses it to do a 30 mile round trip to work and back every day, and his wife uses it in the evenings! It is full on, daily driver with an ickle GT28 on it. It will go faster on the 24th of this month though...

My mate's car that, ran a 12 with full leather interior, shit tyres and only 330bhp. Made 440 bhp at a later mapping session.

Sadly it's not around anymore

clarke5700

yup the fiesta st i aided that build alot. it cracked a 12.9 @300ish hp with a full intera, crap tyres, and so much camber it puts euro look cars to shame

it pushed on to 430hp some good tyres were on order and camber was sorted but the car was involved in an accidend so no longer lives on but a new car is being built

clarke5700

dam it simon!!!!

RS2000 Jay

there should be more fords on that list

QplateRST!

A few other 12 second fwd cars that spring to mind,

Grey mms s2
sitech racings turbo

I was at a daddy trash a few years ago a brunters with my mate in the old msd rs2000 turbo and there was a mk3 fiesta there that I'm sure ran a 12.8 1/4 it was 2005 2006 ish

sombody needs to break the 11's sharpish us fords are way behind on the fwd scene!

djmillsy

Is that stupidly fast meastro still about

Renton

If you want a bit more info about James' Golf (number 7 on your list) go here http://www.sub11motorsport.com/

PS I'd say they are the UK's 'quickest'. Fastest makes me think of top speed. Is there a list of those anywhere?

JonnyBravo

Not sure but he now drives the Rover 25

Sell your Fords and buy a vauxhall if you want to go drag racing

CalibreDan

Good to see Specky's time updated already... 10.1 at 145 is flying
