A rather special EsCos!!
Just thought i'd put some pics up of an EsCos I had a ride in today.
From the back...doesn't look anything special, just an escos waiting for paint...
But from the front, the bit that makes it special is revealed..... a 1027bhp Twin GT30'd Chevy V8!!!
Mark, the guy who owns it, was only running it on a low boost map with an estimated 800bhp at the time but was still shit-the-bed quick!!!! Sideways in 3rd without even trying is so much fun even in the passenger seat!
Just thought i'd share this with people as I doubt there's many cars as special as this one
Cheers
Rob

The car has been built using an EsCos shell, thats for certain, but it is currently being transformed into a standard looking mk5 escort hence the random coloured panels on it at present

That is pretty damn awesome. What the plans for it, is it going to be competing in anything?
Is that Hawkeye in the back ground an ex works WRC car? Just odd that it's not got the body coloured roll cage and that. Also isn't that an ex Hyundai WRC under the cover next to it? W3 MSD.
