Im not sure anyone has bothered to colate that information from enough sources to be useful TBH
Few people have done great numbers at ford fair but the timing gear is a bit suspect.
Martin did a 2.88 IIRC on his old escort on proper timing gear.
I should think that rwd julian godfrey yb powered ford probe is well under 2 seconds so probably the quickest overall.

Ive not ever seen any time for it on road tyres, which is what I am assuming the OP is after really so why I mentioned Martin's, but yes, your old mans is a very quick car, and through the bends too not just the straights, I think its fucking awesome

Reyland Escort, SCS Escort and the two AG Focus' have gotta be the quickest 4WDs that I know of. All sub 3 sec apparently. There was also the old Steve Scott MK6 Fiesta wasn't there? Not sure what happened to that mind.
FWD, wasn't Paul Ripley's Fiesta RST the fastest known FWD at one stage? Was a sub 5 I believe.
Not sure about RWD though. Some pretty mad MK2 Escorts about though, running in the 10s, so one of them?

Just spoke to charlie in the first mk2 focus with 700 bhp he done 2.6 to 60 & 5.3 to 100 in the wet at brunters for the tuner thrash! im sure he was quicker than andrew that day as andrew was having final mapping done to the 800 bhp engine! Luca , mike rainbum , harvey , jano was all there that day & tell you how wet it really was 
Charlie also managed a sub 3 sec to 60 with his boot open he didnt notice

Charlie also managed a sub 3 sec to 60 with his boot open he didnt notice IIRC he was hitting the rev limiter in top, then back to zero three times before the car went over the crest of the hill!

I was under the impression your best time was 5.4 dude. You have been the quickest on the day in the car, but i don't recall the car dipping into the 4's mate.

if pat doran did do 0-60 in 1.9 that shows the improvement from when things started getting serious in the early 80's.
Its documented that john welch's escort was officially tested by the magazine Motor at a average of 2.7 secs to 60 mph and 0-100 in less than 7 seconds.
that was faster than f1 turbo cars and 1000bhp drag cars.
Over in Norway however the cover of the Swedish magazine Teknikens Värld, issue no 21 of October 10 1984, reads:
"Schanches Escort 4WD: 0–100 pĺ 2,5 sek!"
not bad for 26 yrs ago in a ford escort.
would be very interesting to see Fast Ford come up with a 0-60 comp shoot out
