Lightbulb who's faster stock, avg driver

Ok.... here's the situation there are several cars all stock and each driver drives the same. Here are the cars
fc3s n/a 88 gxl
fc3s tII
fd
mustang v8 5.0
mustang v6 1996
93 hyundai sonata v6 3.0L
honda civic
honda civic si
300zx non turbo
honda prelude vtec
fb
2002 camaro v6
Alright, now how would the placings be in a quarter mile run, meaning who would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.,etc.

here is my best guess.....

1. FD RX7 (14.0-.2)
2. 5.0 Stang (14.5-.7) depends on year, I took 88 as example
3. TII RX7 (15.0-.2)
4. Prelude (15.0-.2) I know these things can be quicker, but it takes a very good driver to get power out of VTEC
5. Camaro V6 (15.6-.8)
6. Civic Si (15.8-16.0) same as prelude, takes a lot to squeeze potential out
7. 300ZX N/T (15.8-16.0) I am actually unsure of these times, but based on how heavy they are, I might be accurate
8. 88 N/A RX7 (16.1-.4)
9. the "FB" RX7 (16.7-17.0) depends on year, I will take a 12A as example
10. Honda Civic (16.8-17.2) depends on motor!
11. Mustang '96 V6 (16.8-17.4) these things are soooo sloooowww!

I really dont know about that Hyundai, sorry. I did my best, anyone agree/disagree with my calculations?

hyundai is gonna be in the 20's!! LOL

No im serious 20's. The 5.0 vs the FD is questionable, the whole list is fairly accurate, some 5.0's are 13 second cars stock if properly taken care of(but that is not with an average driver)

Hey, busrx7, what is your name? I got some friends here at Texas A&M from Corpus (actually Portland).

FC3AZ's list is correct.

See www.car-stats.com

Since the newest GTs aren't a 13 sec car stock, I don't think a 5.0 is. I think the Hyundai is 17.5. If you want average times, take a couple tenths off. I don't think car mag's times are often all that great either. eg. I've seen 0-60 for the RSX-S between 6.2-6.9s. That's a big difference. You could probably say that something with more lower-end grunt would be better driven by the average joe. Also, V6 camero is a bit slower than posted. Not critisizing, I couldn't do that from my head!

One thing I'll never figure out is WHY people buy V6 Mustangs and why the Mustang has always outsold and now killed off the Camero & Fbird.
