down to drivers really, ive been to santa pod loads and never seen these rapid cups or 20v, certainly never seen a stock one run quicker than 14.5, quickest one i know of is 13.6 and thats had manifold, chip, hybrid , decat, and a decent driver.
my 172 used to get smaoked by my mates 20vt.
In what way???? rolling, standing start, top end, dont forget it has a extra cylinder a turbo, far superior torque, rolling or top end u never gonna win, standing starts though as i always found them to be a wheelspinning nightmare the traction control just cant cope
coupe should beat all 3 i agree. 0-100 in 14, fastest FWD production car and in gear times quicker than an Evo. imo, lol.
wheres this proof of 0-100 in 14 secs the autocar road test published a 15.8 sec dash to the ton which isnt that impressive for a 220bhp and 218lbft car, certainly no faster than the focus RS which has a superior power to weight ratio, oh auto car managed to get 0-100 in 14.1 from a 147gta so i say that beats it and its printed so it stands until its proven that it will do 14 dead to a ton i wont back down over that! oh and the fastest production fwd is the dodge neon SRT-4 2.4 turbo! 0-60 in a magazine test in 5.6 !!!!
