If money was no object,which ford track toy???
As titled,say you won the big one on the lottery and wanted a track toy what ford would you buy/build?????
ive thot of this quite a few times,i dare say we all hav
but what would you want? for me it would have to be a 400-500 bhp escort cossie.
that or a mental powered rs500 but i know i would probably die then
so people,what would it be???

A properly built 3dr sierra cosworth, caged, AP's, all the right reliable bits.
Aim for a reliable 400 bhp and then get as many track miles on it as possible. No point chasing horsepower if reliability goes to shit.

I would get M Sport to build me something insane for the track. Either with a new WRC Focus or by an old WRC escort and give it to them

Im afraid it wouldnt be a ford anything. Probably get a GT3 RS and an atom/crossbow, caterham kind of thing.
If it had to be a ford i'd probably get either Martin H to build me a rep of his escort or Andy G to build me a replica of his Focus.

well if it was money no object i'd have the following..
Roushe mustang Gt500
Cosworth Capri
V8 mk3 Cortina
2010 camaro - red with black stripes
and you know, something a bit milder like a stage 2 escos just for the daily driver

you should have seen me on saturday driving the tuscan,,,,, was trying to pose with a arm out the window but the steering wheel is soo touchy round town,,,,, then the fucking reverse parking with half a turn each side so having to take 5 attempts, in a 3 car space and also not seeing where the bonnet ends too,,,,,, made me look like a right tool !!

cause in reality we all wanted one as a child, either that or another super/hyper car
lets be REAL here,,, who the fuck whos got TOO much money would spend it on a fucking ford for track use,,,,,, there so good at super track cars that the front grid of all endurance racing is litterd with ford fiestas and focus's
its just like saying " when i become a footballer im gonna marry a girl who looks like heather of eastenders",,,,,, sure its easy to say WHEN THERES NO CHANCE ITS GONNA HAPPEN !!!!
reality you will be driving a konisegg to the track where your pit crew deliver the F430S in the F1 equipt artic aswell as the spare DB9R incase it fails
to me its like dreaming of one day owning a semi detatched home on the outskirts of london,,,,,,, reality its a country house with soo much land half of it you will never even stand on in your lifetime you would buy

You have to be specially trained in the art of ' pose parking' the training is done by any regular BMW driver - usually it involves swinging the front into a gap, taking up 4 bays dependant on the carpark and not giving a shit
oh... and you weren't allowed to indicate either.

it was my mate who told me that my indicators on my impreza dont work,,,,, turns out the ABS fuse is wired up somehow to the indicator stalk feed and i took out the fuse a week after i got back from the ring,,,,,, back in may i think we went and i was told 2 weeks ago when i loaned him my impreza
