Going by the video, the JDM 86 and BRZ should be able to do the 1/4 mile in 14.4-14.5 sec with a 3500 RPM launch. But the best USDM 1/4 mile magazine time so far are:

The weight difference between JDM (2712 pounds in the video) and USDM (2758-2776 pounds) isn't enough to account for that.

Keep in mind that elevations can play in time differences.
