Default Gran Turismo 4 1/4 Mile Challenge

Hey all,
the old man got a plasma tv last week so i thought i'd dust off the old PS2.

I've been chasing a 9 second quarter with the FPV Typhoon, best I can get so far is a 10.334

So this is the challenge:
Car must be FPV Typhoon
No restriction on mods
Go to Power & Speed -> 400m

post up your time!

and if someone does get that 9 second pass, i wanna know what diff ratio you used

Pretty sure I had a 9 second pass in an F6. Everyone knows the WRX is the fastest though.

One of the quickest cars I've had, was one of the rally Peugeots (Can't remember the exact model, but it was from 1985).

Man for a 4 cylinder, this little bastard was lightning. I swear it would pop up on the back wheels, on every gear change. WOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
