My only time from Santa pod with the zetec turbo (1.8 on a T2) was a 15.1 @ 98, thats 14/15 yrs ago, full road trim Mk2 fez, 6" wide used metro challenge slicks.
(With a brand new Super crap AP organic clutch that slipped its tits off and got removed for a full refund as soon as we got it home.) suspect maybe a mid 14 without the clutch issues.
im sure that gtr was indigos stage 2 basically just breathing mods and a remap about 600 hp.
the thing is while I love that capri it will be absolutely pants at anything but the 1/4 mile, still awesome though.
The gtr was 640hp, Antony from indigos personal car for a while, he sold it to buy a new m3 as he got bored of the gtr, it was so good it didn't give u much driver satisfaction so he bought the m3 he told me as it's much for fun.
The Capri run a 8.9 at classic ford day but it's not much use for anything else.
Sorry didn't realise! �� I love the Capri think it's awesome how it was built by an average man in his garage on a limited budget but can make a supercar which is modified look silly! I'd pick the Capri over the gtr probably get slated for that on here tho.
My own Capri if money no object would be stuffed full of modern alloy turbo'd v8, for now it will have to make do with a yb!
Did a 11.1 sec @ 129mph in my 996 turbo last year, hoping for a 10.99 or better this year... Will call it a day after that as happy with a 10sec car...
I ran a 12.9@116 iirc in my old 2wd saff with around 380-400bhp and on 18's with the shitest tyres ever made lol had to ease it off the line in 1st then try get the power down in 2nd. I got a vid somewhere but can't find it at the min

This maybe the case.. However I love super cars but regardless of costs to buy or actually build , if anything older cars are just cooler regardless if they are cheaper faster slower or more exspensive to build or otherwise
Thinking outside the box for individuals that like performance is most likey a plus to most. Super cars although great really are just the status quo and as such do little for the imagination
13.4 @ 104 mph .. ALL home build 8 valve all iron full race aspirated pinto on 50 DCOSP and road tyres at pod. Was more in the bag but was not worth roding the block. 211bhp flywheel .. 174lbft torque. Chassi dyno
I've seen smit launch his car and I'd say around 7k lol
I feather the throttle between 5000 - 6500rpm. Try to lift the clutch up when revs are rising... Tried so many different combos and this one worked best by a country mile.
I'll post a few launch pictures when I'm at home on the laptop (on phone @ work atm)
