wow! ..........

[shifty babe]

do you know what the 1/4 mile time is as im really hoping thats the 0-60 or im really really poo lol

[MattC]

Thats definately the 0-60 time, if not Ford did a p1ss poor job making the Frp faster

[shifty babe]

lol good...anyone know the 1/4 mile time?

[YOG]

Yes, thats the 0-60. Having searched everywhere I can think of, thats all there seems to be officially available for performance. I guess you need to either see what your 0-60 is to compare, or maybe somebody on here will/has put theirs on the 1/4 mile.

I know it aint a 1/4 mile but both my pumas have been at least 1 sec below the official stated time for 0-60!

[mark_f1]

I reckon your looking at high 16's low 17's for a standard puma.

[shifty babe]

i got a 17.4 on my fastest run which i think is a little slow....so far iv found 3 figures...16.8, 17.2 and 17.8 so at least im somewhere in the midle lol

cheers for that...i got a 17.4 in wet wet but i have a feeling my cars down on power... guess im gonna have to get it on a dyno and find out why

I used to put my ZS up the strip at Santa pod and i usually got 16.4 so i'd hoep my Puma would beat that.

was it standard?

[Turby]

I would say you car is spot on ... don't forget the puma is heavier than a fiesta it has a torque limiter. Speed down to the strip is all about power to weight ratio and traction.

[shifty babe]

thanks for that turby...iv found so many different stats on the internet that im a bit lost on what my car should be running... at least thats kinda put my mind a rest a bit

[happy-kat]

plus a different driver and a different set of tyres on your car could produce a faster (or slower) time too

[Dogsbody]

I had a 1660 Mk1 escort that could do it in the 14's
