Copy and paste some text so we can see what it's about and ultimately if it's worth registering!

Starts off : Many Cossies have done "unnoficial" 200mph+ on the Motorways (or the Gumball, lol) but the record at Bruntingthorpe (as theres not much room) with timing gear on was still in the high 190s.

Not any more!

Rod Tarrys RWD sapphire cossie, not stripped or lightened in any way, plain old 2litre cossie lump, is being timed today...

FIRST RUN TIMED 199.8 MPH
SECOND RUN 201.8 MPH



Thats not even at full power, far from it, as the exhuast is far too small so theres a 100+bhp more to come from that car!

Then its general well dones

Then skylines get mentioned : yeah its goo thats one quick cossie but ppl making out that no other car has seen 200mph maybe a skyline or a whole bunch of well easily see 200mph.

Its once in a blue moon a ford gets over 200mph.

Buts its an every day thing for slightly modded skylines

no it not about skylines but they did it years ago

yes put how long has it taken the ford boys to do 200mph

it could be the fact that it has taken nearly 20 years to break the 200mph by a cossie


and the cossie has only just done it dosent that tell you some thing

Theres a lots more

But the old RS500 touring cars did over 200mph down conrod straight in the 80's IIRC

Nikki, the site might discriminate against small people!

No they didnt.

If i remember right the highest speed EVER recorded down the conrod straight was by a R32GTR and even that wasnt above 200mph.

IMO the only time a Cossie has EVER been proven above 200mph apart from in the dreams of old RS500 touring car fans (eh martin j ) is Rods car the other day.

Id be sure a few tuned cossies have hit 200 on M-Ways in the past, but not many, less than 5 i bet, and never proven.

yes put how long has it taken the ford boys to do 200mph



john


Maybe someone should post this fella a few touring car vids from the late 80s. Bathhurst may be a good one..... LOL

This post is about a Cossie doing 202Mph at Bruntingthorpe proving ground, some 1.7 miles with which to accelerate to 200+ and importantly brake back down again... (Those of you who have been to brunters will know the score)

And a lightly modded skyline will NOT do that folks.. its so far PROVEN to require in excess of 700 at the hubs for a skyline.. so name me ermm.. 10cars that have done it in the last.. say, 20years fella?
