Do they post their 1/4 mile times? There are no variables in that right?

And they don't mind doing it for the Focus...of all cars:

8:26 Ford Focus RS Horst von Saurma Ford conducted test (08/2009)

Seriously though if the GT350R ran like a 7:40 to 7:45, they'd be all over it.
They use the ring for development, not advertising.

I don't think I've ever seen Ford release a 1/4 time, the rags to that.

TeamRS did the Focus time. TeamRS is a subsidiary of the Ford Racing division. Not exactly a home office kind of deal.

Even if the R hit 7:40 I don't think they would sing it from the hilltops. Its just not something they do.
