Default US 1/4 mile times

Ive seen some times posted and they seem to be a lot quicker than the equivelent time of similer spec uk cars.

Is the US 1/4 the same distance as the uk. i know it sounds stupid!

over here to get into the 11s you need the likes of a 500bhp four wheel drive skyline yet in the US it seems that you can achieve this in a 300bhp front wheel drive civic.

can anyone shed any light on this?
