how you know the RPM at finish? with all due respect where talking .03 seconds to qualify as a 12.9 second car..

350*.75(25% drive terrain losses which ill argue is closer to 20%) around 262HP..

id be foolish to argue that point without dyno Ill say thats alot of the 4 wheel driver cars ar close to 20% vs 25 that i've seen.

 
Id like to see one of these on hte dyno. ill bet they have a tad more than 350..

i used the rev limit on the focus rs
cool. you realize this car is really a street track car thought right? its not a dodge demon or sorts. lol

 
for the record so you think its possible the car has 290 at the wheels and could actually do 12.9 with the ideal conditions?

we know ford underrates its performance/racing engines usually by 10 to 15%..

now im not making any claims but for shits sake is it possible re gearing it for strictly straight line and it possibly putting down 280 at the wheels for an efficient drive terrain and slightly underrated engine could run 12.9?

apparently it does 13.4. id say that will drop atad once broken in 13.3 maybe 13.2 with the right oil etc etc..

 
if you strip out the interior use some servos and receiver to rc it and only put about 1 gallon of gas in it, empty the washer fluid, take off the air cleaner, put pure nitrogen in the tires, take off the tire fill caps, remove the cabin air filter, replace the shift knob with a carbon fiber one, remove the actual windshield wiper blades, pawn the airbags, seal off and fill the cabin with pressurized helium, put on 1 space saver spare tire, take out the headlight brake, interior, trunk and foglight bulbs, remove the antennae, and sand off all the paint it might do a 13.0000000001 downhill

MAYBE

KMSL.. lets not forget its pretty easy to remap and run 93 or higher and get another 15hp or .oooooo15 seconds. ROFLMAO

and it will still be ugly and a secretary car
yea. but the original argument is its a pretty slick budget car that's actually pretty **** quick around the track and its made for rally.
