Someone report him to eBay for false advertising!

No doubt he will sell it, albeit for sub 1k, and the new owner will be down the pub saying he has a 9.xx car.



When I clicked the link I expected to see a foreign Escort with a monstrous engine and a T88 blower.

An his reply (lmfao)

10 Second 1/4 mile?? Whatever planet are you on? If you reckon this car does a standing start 1/4 mile in 10 or even 11 seconds, then call the sale off now, contact Performance Ford about their forthcoming Thrash and come along and race me in my 13 second RST. It's had over Ł20k spent on it, so its a worthwhile bet. Whadda'ya say? You got the bottle? Tell you what, if you beat me to the end of the 2-mile runway, I will not only give you the keys to my car, but lick your shoes clean too. Deal?

how can he advertise it as a sub 10 second car then say "actually, it was 10.9" tool!

DEFINATLY did the 0-60 test at fordfair/trax and thought it was 1/4 mile
