Hyperskyline managed to run in a 15.1 and become the first XR5T to run the strip in AU. He actually beat a GTP in the first run. All the details are here:http://www.fordxr5turbo.com/forum/index.ph...msg3724#msg3724Be sure to scroll down the threads, he's got pics, time slips and a vid too. A top effort for a stocker with very low kms on it. Cheers,Miyagi

That's pretty healthy.(I'm referring to 2.0L WRXs, not the new 2.5L. The 2.5s are recording around 98mph, stock)Where the WRX dusts the XR5T is off the line. 2.4 60' for the Focus... Stock WRX should do 2.0 60', minimum. And we all know how important the 60' is.It's very hard to get a bum dragger off the line. :(I drove an XR5T and thought it felt quicker than a WRX. It's very close, but the Focus would have my bet on a roll-on... EDIT: Oh, and talking about mph, 94mph at the top isn't too far behind our stock XR6T figures...

I'm sure once it opens up a bit and hyper get's more runs he'll get the time down.
