I don't knowwwwwwww... I've never heard of a car doing that...not even hatches that's about 193 crank HP in a car that's about 400 lbs. lighter than an SVT. Does sound like that's pushin' the numbers a bit. Did he add a 50 shot or sup'm? Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Saw it in a magazine, all motor focus. nope but that'd have to be one hell of a driver and a super light Focus...218fwhp is possible for 13's and below but 160whp and runnin a 14.2 is just not adding up to me.

TQ, area under the curve, driver, track, and tires all play a role in 1/4 mile times. Although a 14.2 is a little lower than I would guess by half a second.
