0-60 3.5 seconds for an AWD car is about a mid-high 12. Not that quick for $85,000.

plus only 100 are being built for the UK market. If you want to buy an 85,000 dollar car with true rental car interior get that car.

Well sure its quarter time isnt THAT great for any american musclecar with 85g's in it. But those things are made to cut some corners. My buddy has an evo and it handles like a wet dream. If you wanna go in a straight line, get 8 cylinders. But that thing is an AWESOME drivers car.

I love quarter mile performace more just as much as you guys do, but id take that thing on a windy track over any rear wheel drive car. LS1's included.

I beg to differ. My 1.86 60' was a 3.67 0-60 time and I ended up running 12.38. All AWD car is going to die more topend, so a mid 12 would be a good estimate.

I dont care what your 'buddy' has done, that FQ400 is NOT going to be trapping 117mph.
