Only Super Pursuit or Pursuit as well?
Fastest or quickest?
Just NA or forced induction as well?

13.6 is the only time I can find for a Super Pursuit.

Not many of them, so it'd be rare to see them race.

Pursuits on the other hand, 11.7's...

Well the first Super Pursuit was an XM they only came out with an 2sp automatic trans because the 3sp manual could not handle the torque of the big 200ci 6 cyl, but then came the Super Pursuit 3sp auto in the XP in 1965 and then the XR Falcon was the last Super Pursuit but it came with a 3speed full synchromesh manual box or auto.
They had Super Pursuit within winning chequered racing flags badge on both front guards.

Motor Manual test
XM 2sp auto 0 to 60mph 12.5 sec top speed 100 mph
XM 170 manual 0 to 60 mph 17.2 sec top speed 98 mph

That was the start of Ford Australia performance car challenge.

Pity that they did not have a manual box that could handle the power of the Super Pursuit until the XR Falcon.

I haven't seen the black monster BA Super Pursuit owned by JOSH (member here) but last I saw it about 8 years ago it was a weapon. No doubt it was in the 11s. But no idea it's actual figures or what he's done to it since.
