Default 1/4 mile race in Freelander

Sunday our local drag strip will be open and I am going to run the 05 Freelander. What do y'all think it will run?

18.8550 at 73.84 mph in sport mode. we are at about 3600 above sea level. so subtract a second for sea level

very slow compared to my 2003 Mustang Mach 1, they run about 14.00 stock at our atmosphere, so 12.9-13.0 at sea level, 1/4 mile, stock of course. i have never run my GT out there, but it should hit low 15s to high 14s i assume

the 86 bronco II is a 4x4, i'll do two runs, one in 4x2 and another with the hubs locked and 4x4. see what kind of difference it will make


the race of the century:

1986 Ford Bronco II vs. 2005 Land Rover Freelander
2 door vs. 5 door
2.9 ohv v6 vs. 2.5 24v dohc v6
old piece of crap vs. new good vehicle



i can actually get the bronco to do a burn out!!! its cool. land rover can't because of traction control. i won't lose any traction in the freelander. i probably wont in the ford becuase low hp. (140)
