Top two RWD times on here
TIB 11.43 @131 ( think 450+ Nos)
Mark Shead 11.54@138 (620+ Nos)
The escorts are much faster but i dont really keep abreast of the times as they cheat having four wheel drive.

Just curious, what time would 4x4 Saph Cos run on 1/4 mile with T3@1.3bar & greens? How about with added RS500 cooler and T34.48 @1.3bar? Just speculating my 1/4 mile times as at the moment I do not have possibility to take the car to strip, though I would like to.

Still interesting though
What we really need to know is how much difference a 6 degree rear beam makes on the 1/4 mile...

I recall seeing a 2wd Sierra on here running 12's with about 270bhp. Had a fancy beam if I remember correctly. I may be wrong.
