got an old mag here from early 1996 and they tested a standard small turbo escort cossie

0-60 in 4.64 secs and 0-30 in 1.14

thats pretty impressive!

do you rekon that it was actually making 227bhp or a little more?

the same standard escos 1/4m in 13.6 @ 98mph

not bad for a standard relatively low power car

I can't see that to be honest they look like stage 3 figures to me

PT

4.64 0 - 60 def not standard

xr2i-carl

thats what they have got mate!!! they also have a stage 3 bug turbo car to compare with which happened to be slower because its owner didnt want to launch the car as hard as the test car. it was only the 0-120 time that it was 5 seconds quicker than the standard car.

i can scan the pages and show you

AndyBrew

wasn't it performance car that were renowned for achieving exceptional figures for almost every car they tested??? could be wrong

xr2i-carl

not sure mate, was using someone elses timing gear tho not there own

When it isn't your car, you can always get better figures if you don't care what happens to it .

i think they are 5.7 standard and 5.9 for large turbo so i can't see a whole second coming off the time myself
