So today I went down with the SVTOA Toronto branch for a Test & Tune Day to see what the Fusionator could do.
Arrived @ the track, honestly I figured if I could at least come near what a stock '08 Fusion AWD traps at, I'd be thrilled, as I've never drag raced this car and the last time I was out dragging with the Focus was '07.
15.5s is the number that Car & Driver reported for an '07 SE level 6 cyl, so I'm guesstimating the extra glitz & weight of the SEL trim & AWD pushes that to near 16s.
Managed a 15.974 as my best without blowing the light, also hit 15.776 but that was during bracket racing and I blew the staging light, losing to a 4cyl Mustang :ph34r:
Most fun you can have with your clothes on in your car IMO. The car ran hard as I could push it but needed to cool down after every run with the Steeda SRI (tried to run two back to back runs, similar times but the car was a good half second slower the second go round, cooled the car down for 30 minutes with the hood up and the ET dropped back down)
