The reputation of the FQ-400 has always held a particular mystic for me. However, it is difficult for me to comprehend a comparison with modded EVO's, since I've never seen any at-the-wheel FQ-400 dyno numbers, nor any 1/4 mile times or trap speeds.

The only data I've found on the FQ-400 are:
405bhp @ 6,400rpm
355lb ft of torque @ 5,500rpm
0-60mph in 3.5 seconds
0-100mph in 9.1 seconds
top speed in excess of 175mph

What would an equivalent 1/4 mile time be? Any other comparisons you might care to make? I find the 405hp at only 6,400rpm to be rather interesting.

Thanks,
Jim

 

Should be a mid-high 11 second car.
