Default 2.0 Zakspeed RS1600 @ Nurburgring

Just to put some context on the performance of our everyday cars against (some of) our heros

New FRS @ Nurburgring = about 8.20, altho I hear they are preparing one for the hatch record soon @ 8.17


In 1974, the alloy blocked 2.0 BDA powered Zakspeed Escort Mk1 we all LOVE was 275+bhp and in race trim this did 8.51

Which 11 years earlier was about the same time F1 cars were doing!!!!

That is all
