What no Porsches? My 951 would give the 550 a decent run...but its not exactly stock...
The data for your car were not in the mags I used or, alternatively, its stock 1/4 time was faster than 14 sec.

Well, definitely interesting numbers!

Boy, I?ll be happy, that most of those "dangers in disguise" are not available in Germany, the country known for its low-performance cars and multiple speed limits.

But I can re-assure You at least on the Mini Cooper (my wife has a JCWorks edition, 210 hp) and the VW R32 from personal experience:
both of those cars represent definitely no danger to Your beloved 545/550. In a drag race, unmodded cars just can?t get enough grip on their front-wheel drive to make it.

But. behold of those nasty American pick-ups with 500+ hp, they?ll blow You away!
BTW, what is a evo IX 340fq anyway?????

Yep, and there are 14-sec. pickups I don't have numbers for. I don't know anything about the car you mention.
