With my completely stock 3.0 2WD Escape, I pulled a 8.1 to 60 mph (G-tech). I have never taken the Escape to the track but it does have excellent power to weight ratio so low 8 second is entire possible. I think the official number form Ford is 8.8 or 8.9 second. 4WD will add about 400 lbs to the car so it will slow it down a bit. There is lots of room under the hood for supercharger
