Check out a Fiesta ST running a 12.52 quarter mile

Really opened my eye up this vehicle when did Cobb did a write up on the gains from just a base map (Same as livernois) so good to hear the vehicle performs at the track
 
IT's SO TINNNY!

I saw one at LMS and I was like "WAAAAH"; I don't think my big fat arse could even get through the door.

Ok, that's it!  We need to reach deep into the 11's with the SHO/MKS now :D

I think we'd blow the PTU/trans before that happens unfortunately  :-

I don't think so at all, with my fueling setup and ATP turbos the SHO should easily run mid 11's without an issue.

I agree. I ran 12.09 and 12.09 with both my SHOs (2010 and 2013). The 12.09 with non-PP with no downpipes and no turbo upgrade with an aggressive tune (LMS stage 4+ of 2 years ago). The 12.08 with the 2013 that is a PP with downjpipes, still no turbo upgrade. That tune is conservative as per Dan says at LMS. With same aggressiveness as the tune I had in the 2010, it would run probably 11.8-11,9 (in good racing conditions)... So if I would add the turbo upgrade, I would imagine that with no traction issues, it should run mid 11's...

Just think it's funny how people are like "OMG IT RUNS 12.5"; well yeah, if I strapped a turbo to skateboard I'd probably do 2 second 1/4 miles.

Now that's comical. :clap2:

But on a serious note, kind of cool to see the improvements that can be had.
 
Considering stock, according to motortrend, is a 14.9. That is indeed a big improvement. I wonder how much of a factor those fat front tires are. I'm thinking they aid quite a lot in improving on that ~15 second number.
 
I can tell you from many custom tune from cobbs using the device and watching them do there work it is top notch. Ive like lms so far but would have to say it would be hard not to switch to cobb if it came out for the explorer but that happening its a long ways out in my opinion they might do the sho.
 
I contacted Cobb's SoCal franchise (Fountain Valley I think?) when I wanted some time on a AWD dyno, they were 'too busy' to rent time on their machine.
 
I've attended Cobb's first Thursday meets many times out here at Plano, TX. Not to mention my Speed6 has been on their dyno. They've got a quality shop with knowledgable personnel.
They're a pretty quality outfit. Sure, they grossly overcharge labor for some of there invasive engine work, but in regards to dyno time and tuning, they're top notch.
