Whoa! Just shows how much power that Fez has really as after that very impressive launch by the Saff the Fez roped him in hard!

 

shit the bed! that black Sierra gets off the line well.

 

That's me in the black Sierra that's a few years ago now, I think Steve Scott was saving his trans, as he effortlessly tore down that strip in the Fiesta. Just a bit of fun really.

Mine is a XR4x4 2.9 12v Cologne with M90 supercharger only running 7psi on a pretty much standard engine back then (I think it was 2005/6) , snapped a alternator belt and retired that year, finishing forth.

Finished 2nd in '08 with 10psi and a different engine.

 

blimey that sierra certainly launches well but how quick does the fez real him in

 

Difference between 500hp and a shot of nos and probably 250bhpish and a shed load of torque. Don't know if the A1 Fiesta cos still exists but at the time was running 10 second 1/4's, so certainly out classed. Was nice be in front for a bit, albeit not very long

 

well rob can honestly say you can not half launch car,i would either wheel spin or stall lol!

 

4x4, that'll be why then. I thought it was 2wd lol

 

Cheers, still on the same standard MT75 4x4 g/box and 7" diff's. It's a bit of a balance getting it to launch well simply because I can make boost so easily, if I redline it and sidestep the clutch I'l wheel spin all 4 easily, which is cool, but not very fast fastest get away I find is hold at 2.5-3k and dump the clutch with full throttle, but this is specific to mine due to the early torque it produces.

Oddly enough I think my squishly koni suspension helped then as my Avo coilovers I have now make it much easier to spin up.

 

4wd wheelspins look the tits!

 

You wouldn't because you never drive it

Steve

 

I think the white saff with the big wheels on the back looks mad,that fiesta was at ford fair last year.I love it cause it doesnt look like much but it goes like stink.

 

wtf is that white saff with the huuuuge wide rear wheels on

around 1.30

 

Where abouts was this taken?

 

llandgraf in holland for the xr/rs owners club show. i have been a few times and was there when that vid was taken. that black saph is mint, but scottys old fez was in a different class. it trounced everything lol
