yeah, I think s4 tII did it in 6.7, and the s5 in 6.5. No way it would break into the 5's though.

I agree that getting into the 5's is impossible stock, even when they were new. But lets do the math

my TII when it ran 13.7 @ 100



did 0-60 in the mid 5 second range. so you are telling me that a bone stock car with alot less power than mine and that does the 1/4 in 1.2 seconds slower can pull the same 0-60 ?



FD's can do 0-60 low to mid 6 second range. physics say NO!

that doesn't make sense though. a FD has 255 hp and does 0-60 in 5.2 and the 1/4 in 13.0-13.5



oh well what i do know



i only timed my FD and my TII LOL
