Not a dig at them, as its amazing, and id expect it would last, but until stuff is proven, I dont think anything is anything really.

My own belief is that on pump fuel, that engine would not have failed, it was only when running LOTS more timing and race fuel it had an issue.
Thats why I said "I believe", because nothing has been proved with it yet.
I hope mark does a similar spec motor for a customer who runs it only on pump though, would make a truely monstourous road car and at sensible (well ish, lol) fuel prices too.
I am not a fan of race fuel power figures for road cars, I dont know anyone who runs their road car on 120RON fuel all the time, so whats the point in quoting it if its a road car?

It's the 'new' Gatebil Escort now that Leif Neilson (sp) owns it, Greddy Turbo on it now and the cars Silver
VS Motor was Lasse's (sp) car IIRC and it made 604hp? I think, then it went to a 650hp Volvo Turbo lump and now it's back on a YB
Rod's engine is 2150cc I think mate, a little more than 2ltr
Thought it finally made 784bhp and 543lb/ft? I'd have to dig the first PF feature out to be sure though!

Chip, i agree and disagree if that makes sense.. yes what Mark and co have done with/to Rods saff is a great achievement, but where and how could 745/575lb/ft really be used as a road car?? i'm pretty sure it'd be a pig to drive, i'm not talking about lag either, just general power terms.
I've always thought a PROPER stage 3 cossie is just dead on for a road car imo, nice strong 360/360 is a good package and tbh there's not that many cars that'd trouble you, Evos, odd scooby etc.
Just my 2 penneth..

Rod, where the fook have i said in the above statement your car is slow?? i was praising what you've achieved FFS..
I just said i think a good stage 3 cossie makes a good road car, you REALLY do jump onto people when you're car is mentioned in anyway..
So your saff would be be quicker than a 450 bhp Evo round the b-roads then?? Errr NO.............

Simply not interested in less Power been there done that, if you believe that having more Power makes your car slower you are badly mistaken, all my conversions have made my car quicker wherever they are, driving changes have to be made for sure, but please dont kid yourself you would keep up you would get destroyed by a very large margin. You have obviously driven my car so know its a pig, funny how people with relatively little Power always know how a big Powered car will drive, fact is they dont.

I think what Pete was getting at, Is a 'good stage 3' road car, is good on the road, its quick, and not many other cars you come up against will beat you (very rarely anyway)...
Obviously, more power is quicker. But speed/power is nothing without control.

Thanks Rad....
Wasn't having a DIG @ Rods Saff at all, but he just reads into things SO wrongly..
Course i know MORE power is quicker.. but i'd imagine a 750/575 RWD Saff is hard work as a road car, that's all i said Rodders..
