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


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW
Check this out below!

RARE OPPORTUNITY!! This auction is for a Ford Fiesta race saloon. It is the current 2003 TOYO modified production saloon championship winning car! Also, the 2004 Ford Saloon championship winning car!

The car consists of an immaculate fully seam welded shell, striking in Ford diamond white, with blue Ford saloon decals. Perspex tinted windows. Full custom - made roll cage. Modified front spoiler. Full HT RACING engine (1660cc), just rebuilt by HT after 2004 winning season, worth £8,500. Running on twin 45 Delortoes. Full Magnex custom made manifold and exhaust system. Cosworth starter motor. 2 x 5 speed Quaife straight cut gearboxes, worth £3,000. Two sets of Compromotive specially made wheels x 8, with Dunlop racing slicks on one and Dunlop racing wets on the other, worth £2,800. Full SPAX racing adjustable dampers and racing springs. All data and set-up available. Brake system consists of Mk2 escort pedal box, running with Willwood master cylinders, front and rear. Willwood rear adjustable brake bias. Willwood 4 pot calipers. Willwood bells and discs, with Goodridge braided hose across the whole system. Inside, the car has a digital Honda s2000 rev counter, fuel gauge etc. Separate oil, water and fuel gauges. The car comes with it's own custom-built trailer and full spares package! Too extensive to list here!

Built and run by TEAM ALLEN RACING, the car has featured in motoring magazines such as Performance Ford, Classic Ford and Autosport, with extensive write-up's and coverage. Also featured on the Ford Fiesta DVD. In-car video footage if required. The car will take you from 0 - 60 mph in less than 3 seconds! A standing quarter mile in under 11.5 seconds! This car has been a PASSION rather than a hobby, so please only bid if you are serious about purchasing this awesome machine!! (Dangerous in the wrong hands!!!) The car would be eligible for MOT if desired. This car has had in excess of £26,000 spent on it!

this is what i sent him!!!!!

0-60 in less than 3 secs.......i haven't laughed so much for ages....
thanks for that!!! be careful though, when the new owner finds out it
actually does it in about 5 secs he could claim compensation

his reply..

well mate this is why you no so little, its not ur fault i understand, the
picture with all those cars behind it are from anglesey last year, leading
over all the yellow rs 500 behind it is an ex andy rouse touring car thats 4
secons to 60 but i understand your a kid that knows nothing, i pitty
jealousy

my reply back..

oliver....its not jealousy.... i have actually done a recorded 0-60 in 2.88
seconds using approved timing gear! so i know what it takes, the car in
question was four wheel drive and had the benefit of well over 500hp and a
straight cut dog engagement gearbox. if you are so sure and want to put your
money where your mouth is.. i have £2000 that says you cant do it! i can
provide the test venue and an independent body to do the test... which i
will pay for if i loose... so if i know nothing please take my money!


his new reply..


well you no nothing,its not a drag car its a race car, i could go into power
to wieght ratios but im bored now no its hard to believe but thats up to
you,if you knew so much its not all about bhp its tourqe, i competitivly
race against 550 bhp cars every seasonwe have nothing to prove its done on
the track how it should be cheers and good luck

to which i replied..

Oliver,
you still persist in telling me i know nothing yet you don't even know who you are replying to! I'm sad you're bored because you are quite good entertainment for me!
i am not knocking your car or even your driving, how could i ..... i don't even know you! but i do know your sub 3 seconds to 60 claim is pure fantasy (or if you like, replace the word 'fantasy' with 'bullshit').
on the subject of bhp/torque (hell you cant even spell it!), i used the 500 plus hp figure as a quick reference(it actually made 627hp on the dyno!) the car in question actually had about 500ft lb of torque too . like i said previously... if i know nothing.... please take my money. or if you are so sure why don't you up the money!
anyhow maybe i am getting a little bored now too so i will bid you a farewell and suggest you take up a job in either sales or marketing... you could make a fortune!

martin hadland (reyland motorsport)
p.s. i have attached a picture of my genuine sub 3 second car at the venue i challenged you to attend!

Hey, what about if he's using Nitrous? Is that cheating?

I'd also say if it did do those times because of the gearing say, that'd be the worst track car in the universe!

HT racing make good engines but not that good! I recon that'd put out 165bhp if the series allows full engine mods. 6secs to 60 is more like it.
