    1 second is a long time on the 1/4mile.

    Actually i find this funny, noone seemed interested in my fat german car before. But now someones posted something that says it may be able to do the 1/4 mile in 14 flat, people seem to be more interested. lol

    Mid 14s is what i think it'll do. 1710kg is too heavy for it to do any better.
    TBH it is a heavy old hector, and launching a AWD car isn't that easy, as if you don't get it just right, it's just going to bog, and once it's off boost, it's game over.

    I love the banter, unfortunately Ford Cougar owners don't, after being the fastest at 0-60 for 3 years running (and beating ST200 engined cars) they decided they didn't want to play anymore, and banned me (along with other reasons) from their forum. I'm glad to see people up for it, but I'm not used to losing, so I may sulk if I do.

    I don't dispute that mate, but having a 0-60 of 6.72 seconds, mine's not an average Cougar.

    Very true mate, but it's still quick for a Cougar, and it cost a lot less than our Volvo.

    They are heavy, but you won't have the heaviest car there...... i will. lol

    Unless theres a v70r geartronic going, think they are slightly heavier.
