    1/4 mile times answer from my last post of 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.

    The 1/4 mile is really dependent on gearing of the car therefor the 1/4 mile time can very well be 15.3...so don't jump to conclusions on this whole website being not legit. Look at the other cars on the website and the times are very accurate but we wont know the actual truth till someone else posts the times. Plus people, this car isn't a drag strip car. what can u expect coming from a 2L flat 4?! Remember that this car is a track car that has amazing handling!!! So the 1/4 mile time should be illrelaavant.

    We do have to wait until the car comes up to be sure but I still don't see it having a quarter mile time of 15.3 seconds if 0-60 is 5.9 seconds. Doesn't add up. But we'll see. 0-60 in 5.9 seconds is quick for the fr-s.

    yes i agree that its fast 0-60. but honestly i think 0-60 is going to be 6.2 or 6.1 and quarter mile of 14.5 or .6. This isn't my website so idc about the bad comments lol. But yeah idk if i completely agree with it as well but the 1/4 mile is possible with gear ratio in mind.

    Guys, I am sure it is all about the gearing in the transmission. It probably has a nice first gear for street use. Then up top they dog out the gears for CAFE/MPG on the highway. It is really not that difficult to see the issues. It will be decently quick out of the hole for nice performance and then appears to putz out big time up top. That may be just do to lack of power also in the higher gears. It may take a long time to actually wind out with taller gears.
