Predicted times for Martin Hadland's new Escort?
Predicted times for Martin Hadland's new Escort?
What do people/Martin himself reckon on what sort of times it will set? Or does no-one really know? 
I mean lets be honest, his old one was fucking rapid, and that was ages ago now

I reckon a sub 5 sec 0-100 is on the cards along with a sub 10 sec qtr mile and 200 mph plus top end.
The more I look at the stuff Martin's posted about the spec of his car the more I appreciate it.

to make building the new car worthwhile ...it needs to do
0-60 2.5 or less
0-100 low 5's
1/4 needs to have a 9 at the front
top speed 200+
go round my favourite circuits faster.
all those figures are minimum requirements.... hope it does the business
the old car has now been off the road for over 1.5 years so whatever it does will FEEL fast!

ok by road legal i mean as in a car ud use to go to a cruise or go cinema or even to work, obviously ud turn down the boost....... but you wouldnt run a 9 second supra everyday would u, thats over 1000hp everyday - save it for the drags, same with a 9 second cossie, it takes 9 seconds to do 160mph+ when are you ever going to use that on the road.

Its just a bit clunky at low revs plus I still waggle the stick side to side to check its in neutral
OEM OSG white plastic gear nob is shite but the only other option from OSG is a chrome one that looks like it came from MotorWorlds bargain bin..lol
