Ran my Fusion Hybrid at the Livernois Track Rental for S&G's

Though it totally defeats the reason most buy an Energi (Hybrid), I got curious about what it would run in the 1/4 mile. I was at the track yesterday and figured... Why not run it? It's by far the slowest car I've ever driven at the track, but it was just for fun. I made 5 passes and it's consistent... Consistently slow.. it ran (3) 16.2 @ 86 mph passes and (2) 16.5 @ 86 mph passes.


If it could leave at anything more than idle it would be quicker, but not quick by any means.


After driving it harder than normal, I was still averaging 290 mpg when I got home..














 
they come with both the 1.6t and 2.0t (fiesta st, focus st)

mine has the 2.0t and I have been using Focus ST parts primarily.
 
That's pretty sweet, which tuner are you using? I'm torn between Cobb, Mountune, and Livernois. The Mountune kits don't void the factory warranty from what I've read, but Livernois provides the most gains on a stock engine. Too many choices :lol:
 
My 2014 2.0 Titanium had a Livernois tune and ran 14.3, which was .7 better than stock. Being FWD, I couldn't leave hard or it wheel hopped badly. The trans cal was awesome and fuel economy was about 4 mpg better than stock.

 
That's pretty quick for a Fusion, never would've thought they'd hit 13s. Are there any out there running a bigger turbo?
 
I could see an AWD car hitting 13's pretty easily.

Yeah, I drove a car Livernois did a turbo upgrade on. It was awesome from a slow roll, but it was FWD so it destroyed the tires and wheel hopped from a dead dig.

Should still be a riot to drive nonetheless. I haven't met a sub 14 second FWD car that wasn't a tire smoker :lol:

Agree, my tune only turbo Cobalt SS ran low 13's consistently and destroyed tires.. Sold it at 24,000 miles and the tires were like slicks front and rear and I rotated then at about 10,000 lol It would blow through the clutch too, so it was warrantied before I sold it.

Even riding the brake out 20' or so?

I had pretty good results doing it.

Only problem is it's damn impossible to be consistent.
