    The et will vary greatly depending on car and driver, a close guess would

    be in the low 13's, no 12's

    Well now, that would depend if you did 100mph the entire 1/4 mile, if you had linear acceleration up to 100mph across the entire 1/4 mile, or if you crawled the first thousand feet then rocketed to 100mph.

    You can watch AWDs get ridiculous launches and come in around 13 flat and not reach 100mph, then you can watch FWD struggle the first 60ft then take off, and end up with a 15 flat and end up in excess of 100mph.

    If you had linear acceleration, then time would be simply distance/speed = 1320/100 = 13.2 secs. One site I visited calculated the time to 13.6 secs.
