You know you've got a quick car when you can beat an R1 down the 1/4

Was really something too see.

Escort Cosworth, Sheeps clothing ?

Jye

An R1 should do the quarter in sub 10 with a decent launch, but massive respect for that time.

the escort cossie is just so and keeps getting better. I just really want to know where it will stop!

Cosworth427

Was this done on slicks or just street tyres?

brickboy

That's effin' quick He really got dialled in after a few runs, it's interesting to see how the times go down and the terminal speeds go up

For sale: Escort Cosworth, reg N789CUY, one careful owner, never raced, needs slight attention to clutch

PEE1

Look like Eagle F1's to me!

cossie@ste

Paul- there is a escort cosworth that does 9.8 over the 1/4 but thats in cyprus

dazc2

And that one runs slicks I think!?

Cosworth427

If it's just on street tyres, it should be making atleast 800 HP to get mid 10's like that. That Escort looks like it's in full trim too.

Got the spec on that one???

Kev has most of it's trim still in there....

He is building another Escort and is going to swap all the kit out of this onto the other which will have no interior etc..

Do rondell still sell those alloys? Anyone know if they have vag fitment?

rondell sold the wheel mould to engell ages ago, they have sold it on to a company called brock (i think), who have no plans at the moment to produce any more rondell 122 style wheels!
