FPMSL!! I learnt to drive in one of them, My instructor made me go the speed limit as it was 'Progressive' Can you confirm they dont do 70mph up a steep road? Many of times i was told off for not making progress but i sware blind it's not possible.

I'll admit in 1st and 2nd it feels just as quick as my focus 1.6 but after 2nd it just stopped.

Steve Bennett, think his username is "the rapid 1"

Was a damn fast car although its sub 3 was timed at trax

No doubting it was capable of a 3 sec 0-60 though

Sorry but I do... was a VERY fast car and cool cat but I just don't ever think a 0-60 in sub 3 secs is possible on a MT75 Synchro box. It just can't change gear fast enough.

It never got near that time on Datron timing and we all know how accurate TRAX timing is!

My 2 ton pick up runs low 3's to 60.

The car that most impressed me was Steve scotts fiesta, with me and him in it in the rain it was a low 3 second to 60 impressive car!!

Danny B's old Cosworth was sub 3 second to 60.

Lee Catermoles tiger striped cosworth was a sub 3 second car.

Steve Scotts fiesta is a sub 3 second car.



I remember when Danny and Lee were at bruntingthorpe and they were going head to head again and again and again for the 0-60 record that day.....

2.99 at Trax.... Crap timing gear. They let start before the line so you cross the line doing 10 mph!!!

Fast car. NOT sub 3 secs fast though on an MT75 synchro box as we have already said
