My mate Chris went to Santa Pod last Sunday.
He took his 4x4 Burgundy Sapphire Cossie with him. He did a personal best on the 1/4 mile of 13.1seconds. :cool: He also on the same run beat a TVR Tuscan. Say what you like about Cossies, this is one fu(king rapid car :cool::cool::cool: However, if that had been me, the first thing I would have done after that was attack the interior with a spanner and get into the twelves. Its still :cool: as fcuk though. astraboy. |
My mate has an escort that was doing steady 12.5's on standard wheels and suspension. he has now fitted 18's and ap 4 pots. Oh and he has found the boost is down by 9 psi so it should run 11's on 500+ bhp. That is an awesome rush of power
The saphire sounds :cool: though G |
Was it on Escort Cossie wheels?
If it is I saw it run. 4x4 traction rules :) Nice looking car and best colour for a Saphy :) |
Astraboy you mean Birdy ? He's got loads of mid range grunt i can vouch for that:eek:. G.
|
By the way what bhp and torque's he got now? ;)
|
13.1? He's got to be running at least 330.
If not, I'm selling my 2wd tomorrow :D |
And the rest Richard :rolleyes: at a guess i would say 350 - 375 bhp and about 300 pft . Astraboy ?
|
Why? Mike R ran very low 13s all day at Santa Pod with 385 bhp 2wd, back in 1999.
If driven well, there's no reason a 4x4 with less power couldn't do low 13s |
Astraboy
Was it the guy with the Escort Cossie alloys on it? 4X4 weren't it? My mate has raced him a few times a while back in his old 2WD Black 'Q' plater.... :) Things are gonna be a little different now tho ;) Newly built Harvey Gibbs 400+ :D Was a nice car by the way :) |
Yes it was Birdy, Yes it is on Escort wheels, Yes I believe its approx 330bhp and Yes it is a nice car :D

Oh and Westy, i will let him know you want to play.
I dont think you should underestimate the it though. I know the engine spec and it worryingly standard for that time :D I think that time is more to do with the driver than the engine :D He can also claim a 4.99 second 0-60 mile :cool: and that was before he got it tuned to 330 :eek: astraboy.

WTF is this...? :confused: :D
Even my lowly piece of crap euro scoob will easily pull a middle-ish 4 to 60...and sub/flat 13 quarters. U must be doing something wrong fellas. *lol* /J |
Was there and saw it go, was well impressed especially with the traction problems off the line. Most impressed by the skyline doing mid 12s until the twin engined 5 came out.
|
Yeah he has got the launch sorted out now. Just after he got it tuned he took it to the strip and dumped it so hard he sat there for 1/2 a second burning out all four tyres on the spot :eek::eek:
Maddest thing I ever saw :D astraboy. |
