Default Saph 2wd buying

Can anyone give me any info, im hoping to swap my erst for a grey 88 2wd saph.

Also what will be quicker ?
My erst spec:
Stage 2 1600 cvh engine with ported + polished head
Stage 3 Hybrid T3/T4 turbo
-31 Actuator
Ahmed bayjoo fully mapable chipped ecu (currently peeking at 1.5bar and flatting out at 1)
Full Mongoose stainless steel exhaust system with 3" outwardly rolled tailpipe
Polished bailey dump valve
Under bonnet bleed valve

Cossie spec:
Stage1 Chip giving 285 BHP.
Group A Head Gasket.
Group A Dump Valve

What sort of 0-60 and 1/4 mile times would the cossie do ?

Cheers
Sam

depends on setup and launch technique and the driver, possibly a low 14second run. best i did at pod was a 14.3@105mph running about 340bhp,about a year and half ago, however i had a slipping clutch knackered box and blown headgasket.

2wds arnt the best for pod as they have long gear ratios

low profiles tyres dont do favours either

all depends on the setup and launch technique

hard to say mate, if the rs is close to 200bhp it will be very close, cossie will have a higher terminal though in my experience.

I say cos 2wd too. Mostly when a seller says 280bhp it means a stage1 chip and no more. Which unfortunately mostly means around 255 or 260bhp

But since I own a cos; go for the cos 2wd
