Default Escort cosworth 60-100mph performance

I did yesterday some 3rd gear pulls with my escos. I measured 3,4s 100-160kmh times which are near your 60-100mph. Any gues how much power does it need to pull that kind of time? Or some other 60-100mph data you guys have measured?

Yep I noticed that. Your car is in a different level Would be interesting to see ~500bhp car times, even better if 4wd.

It's taken from Autronic datalog and back calculated from rpm. I can't say how accurate it is I might test some other timing device as soon as I have time.

I did some more measurement's with Nokia E71 and Racechrono. Maybe not the most accurate measurement, but it's nice to have some data. 100-200km/h, first pull was 7,6s and second one was 7,7s.
