11.5 sec 1/4 /0-60 in 3 seconds xr2 on ebay!

Fair play Pugo, with you're credential's I would have thought you would have a bit more sense than to post up the utter drivel that you have done. The ebay ad clearly states that it is a 1660 engine, thus ruling out any 2L cosworth conversion. As somebody has already posted up the rules the issue of FWD/RWD/4WD has been covered.
That leaves you with a FWD stripped fiesta running a 1660 (presumably CVH as I would expect the rules dictate that you can't change from the standard production engine).
Now if I was advertising my car I would include everything that would make it sell. Now if this car had any amazing additions (as you have hinted at by stating that we don't know what it's got) then presumably they would have been included in the advert to entice the buyer. Fact is there is nothing overly special in the spec.
Therefore anybody with even a little knowledge of fords would have some idea that a FWD stripped out, honed CVH spec 'racing/track' car is going to struggle to drag itself up the 1/4 mile in under 11.5 and with a 0-60 of less than 3secs.
It's not a matter of having seen the car in real life to be able to criticise it's knowing that on that spec those claims are false. Not only are they false they're very false. In reality that spec is not going to get anywhere near that. Fact. No matter how you dress it up as lamb it's still mutton.
Please don't come back with any points saying I don't know what's in the car as the basic fact's of FWD, 1660 CVH have already been proved.
Now back to the main point of this thread which was to ridicule somebody who should definitely know better than to make false claims. You've hit back saying that Martin Hadland should not be 'dissing' him as he's never seen the car nor is he a 'racing driver' or as you put it'but i do care that some egotistical trackday warrior with no real car racing championship wins or motorsport history can diss a real race car driver'. Why can't he criticise this guy when the advert clearly has false claims?
You stated 'look at the facts here the guy selling the car is obviously going to up the claims a bit. as its a sellers perogative,however he and the car has 2 championship wins under his belts and would beat any of you trackday warriors in his little fiesta, he is a racing driver show him the respect he deserves...... '
Absolute rubbish, there is no seller's perogative at all. That is simply false advertising and why do you insist to target the racing issue in a thread that is clearly targetting false claims. No one (before you posted) made any claims that he couldn't drive well. The simple point was that somebody with his apparant background shouldn't be making 'max power' claims about their cars performance.
Personally I'm wondering if you know the owner of the car as you seem to be so vehemently defending him. I'm not saying this is a bad thing just that it would explain a few things.
I can assure you that I'm not in Martin's pocket and don't revere him as some sort of god! Can't say I post on here much but I do have a read every now and then.
Well I'm off to finish stripping my 1600 crossflow. Got a little fezzie of my own. Should be enjoyable when it's finished and yes I do compete in motorsport. Just waiting for the flux capacitor to arrive then I'll be hitting the magic 88mph and showing the Romans that my ickle car can beat their 2hp chariots.
Of course you can't say anything about this as you've never met me or my car therefore I might just be telling the truth.

So you'd call me unprofessional and 'guessing' if I put my car on E-Bay with a 4s claim? As that's just what this bloke's done, and you're defending him.
pick a valid argument mate and stick with it
and yes, if you were going to guess, then yes you are unproffessional!!!

Pugo - try doing your research before mouthing off.
as the advert DOES NOT mention any other parts included to make the car perform like that.

I give up, I really do, twice you've entirely missed the point.
You now appear to be arguing just for the sake of it, see what you want to see, go on.
Clutch at those straws as you go down...

Pugo,
I kind of see your point about the spec of the car being "capable", but you're just arguing for arguements sake.
I don't think people have ANY idea of just how fast a sub 3 second car to 60 really is, and like I said before, if it was geared to do that kind of time to 60, then it'd be the worst race car in the entire world.
By the way, I have plenty of racecraft - does that mean my car is fast?

Right.
For the record though, Martin's crash was an accident.
Hey, we've all had one! I rolled my kart once and nearly ended up dead - these things happen.
By the way, I've been in the car with Martin, and I'd have no hesitation in getting in again. You'll be telling me next that because I had an accident once, that I'm talent free..............

martins crash was the result of the most stupidist move on a public highway i have ever seen it was something you expect a 17 year old to pull wh has been allowed out in his dads fast car!!! when you crashed your kart was you on a racetrack with all karts travelling in the same direction, you all knew the risks and you were alone in the kart, HE was driving with a passenger with no harness/belt on(whom he was responsible for) on a public road with people moving both ways, others may have not expected a 140+mph 3 car abreast overtaking whilst using the hard shoulder, and he had not been down that stretch of road before(i am assuming that) where as you had probably done lap after lap without incident on the circuit you crashed at!
What i think is ironic is that the kid that crashed at the Essexrsoc last year was flamed on here because he was showboating and this guy is held in total admiration for his total brain dip of a move

I don't know Pugo or martin, BUT the bloke selling the fester is telling lies.
Why wage a war on Martin because he has pointed out some bullshiter on ebay regardless of how and what he drives.
0-60 in 3 secs needs a far greater power to weight ratio than a atmo 1660 fester with fwd can manage unless it weighs around 250KGs
