Quarter mile times

[Alan Applegate]

Is there anyone here, who has run their 2024 Eco-Boost through the 1/4 mile traps? I am aware the car mags always test the PP with its 3.55 gears, rather than the non PP with its 3.15 (like mine). That said, I'm getting times which don't seem real for the altitude (≈3,500 feet).

The times I have seen on line or in car mags, have never been with the car in Drag mode (to my knowledge), with its limited over-boost strategy. All of this makes me curious.

Keep in mind the car mags test these cars in some of the most optimal conditions (Good altitude/DA, prepped surface, sticky tires, humidity). Unless you can replicate their exact conditions, your quarter mile time will likely be lower. The best quarter mile I got was on the street with 13.2 seconds. I know I could probably do much better on the strip where I can swap to a drag radial safely and the surface is sticky.

I'm seeing slightly worse than your figures in Drag mode where the boost pressure stays high longer. My best times on the street (Drag mode) are in the 13.5s, and I'm at ≈3,500 feet! This relates to about 25 more HP than the engine is rated for.

All of the HP and torque figures I've seen, have all used every mode but Drag mode. Perhaps someone will use it one of these days.
