Interesting sites but I can't agree with the 1/4 mile times.
They have cars just a second apart, with 0-60 times of 4 seconds different! A lower powered car could not claw that back? especially finishing with a lower top speed

The problem appears to be that they've got figures from different sources.
For example, Evo managed to do 0-60 in the Focus RS in 5.9 seconds but the official time is 6.4. Elsewhere, it clearly has standard Ford data (and also seems to think the RS has a 6th gear!).
I'm sure a lot of the info is okay but you can't really use it for comparing with another vehicle unless you know the testing/timing was done with the same equipment etc which it obviously isn't unless they tested them all themselves.
