great times,harvey,speak to you soon

No reason why not, going by 1/4 mile et and speed, shows grip isn't perfect at all.

Also i found you need to get a good 1st gear ratio to allow some sticky tyres.

With my R&D with its tall 2.98 1st gear and 3.6 final, i've only ever run Nan kangs, and even with them i have to launch at 7200-7400 rpm.

That is one fast motor.
Harvey Gibbs Escort Cossie
0-60mph = 2.91s
0-100mph = 5.68s
0-150mph = 14.55s

Bugatti Veyron (autocar recorded times)
0-62mph = 2.8s
0-100mph = 5.5s

Bugatti Veyron Claimed acceleration:
0-62mph = 2.5sec
0-124mph = 7.3sec
0-187mph = 16.7sec

My old car on 3.6 gearing

0-60 2.88
0-100 6.06
0-150 13.63

Hope the new car gets near those times

GribbiN

Another amazing car Looking forward to the new times.

yeah it's like Pat Dorans fiesta, thats did 0-60 in 1.9 secs IIRC

Fiecos Dan

Where was Pat's timed?

as the best i've seen or heard its done was at Brighton but at 11.1 @ 125mph will be about 3.0 to 60mph, and late 6's to 100mph.

I knew his old Rs200 done it in mid 2's i think, and 5's in the damp.

Fiecos Dan

Have you not done some proper timed launches in the escos2 then Martin?

wow

Fiecos Dan

On the load speaker in the vid's he says it does
9.95 @ 135mph, and a 10.02,
But on Brighton Speed trials website they only list the 10.02 and 10.3 @ 128mph runs.

it beat a 900 bhp skyliner not bad for a shonkey cozzie engine

Fiecos Dan

700bhp skylines do similar times to the puma

what 0-60 under 2 secs ??

have seen the black skyline at brighton and iirc its 900.
depending on who you talk to about the puma it has 700 or 1000 and thats from a 2.2 evo rs200 motor

Fiecos Dan

No, 1/4 mile times and et,

its very rarely known (0-60 times), as most time at drag strips.
so unless proper timing gear is strapped in, its unknown.


How was the 0-60 timed?

RS500

Good to see proper times from a ford.

Great to see an old post dragged up again

Mind you it is a good one with a fantastic car and times, but damn how do you guys find these relics?
