anyways,
it says in the performance mag, xr2 standard, 0-60 10plus secs, top speed 99mph? whats with that?

i know my XR2 Standard is alot quicker than that.....

What are they...96bhp?

I think they are around 10secs to 60, prob 9.5 though. As for top speed. Not much over 100 is possible

Maybe they were refering to the MK1 @84bhp, that's even slower than yours.

Mk1-stu

it's got the same engine as the XR3, which was 96hp. simple K&N bolt on will see you hit the 100 hp mark with a bit of tuning

my xr2 had a 4 branch and k&n and no way did that take seconds to get to 60, and mine had a 4 speed box and would cruise at 90 @ 3k revs. them stats gta b well rong lol unless they timed it using sum old nacker hehe

jonboy

90 Km/h @3K I presume?

ScORTED

first thing, alot of fast fords stats are either slightly wrong or plucked out of thin air

and second of all the 1.6 cvh on a carb even in a light car will be slow, it may have been 96bhp when it left the factory 20+ years ago, these days you'd be lucky to see 60ATW
