My stock 2011 Mustang GT will do a 13.1 in the 1/4 mile easily. The GT350 should easily be faster than that no problem. I'd be willing to bet that the Focus RS can probably do better than the 13.4 it posted.

I watched a Focus RS at the drag strip recently. He had a good launch (like the one in the video seemed to) and ran the same 13.4. I doubt they could do much better in stock form. Still pretty impressive for a four-banger.

Seems the gt350 driver was having a nap, that said, I test drove the RS recently, and it is an amazingly quick machine and tons of fun to drive. A car that could get you in serious trouble...

It does okay at the strip but its forte is the road course where it just clicks. Literally a car you just have to throw a roll bar in and get a harness to keep you planted in the seat (well with the exception of the base and tech 2016 cars but that is neither here nor there).
