Default Escort Cos Weight

Without driver how much do they weigh? and how much do you think mine weighs now as I'd say it was heavier now with the AP 6pots, 18" Comps and tyres, extra litre or two of oil in the big wing sump, bigger turbo, all the little add on's?

Cool thanks David had a tear up with my mates Scooby Classic RA and I couldn't lose the fucker

He has 365bhp and I have 427bhp (on the same rollers)

I know those RA's are light fookers need to find out how much his weighs he said under 1200kg but I wanna get some figures or i'll never hear the end of it

I've always said that weight needs to come off first before you get a really fast car!
