Default Wennys mk3 escort at the pod
ive just heard off a friend that wennys mk3 cossied escort has just done a 10 sec pass at the pod with a terminal speed of 135mph. He had Will pedley in the car as a passenger and wenny missed a gear. Sounds like he is gonna do well this weekend.

Pretty sure Will is a 'plus-size' gentleman from what I remember reading on here, so I'm sure that with a clean run and an empty car, it'll do a 9s pass.


Cheers,

He bought AG's old engine didn't he?? But I've no idea of the output if I'm honest, I'd guess at 650ish?! That could be wildly out though.

Proper times look to being achieved by Wenny so well done.

Cant believe how far behind some of the fwd boys in this country are though on the ford scene. About time we stepped up in that catergory too !

As getting excited by 12's Is not exactly on a par with others in Europe ford wise.

It's a bit high on the boost this weekend (36psi) so I thinking will be 685 bhp and 510lbft maybe a bit more torque

Awesome work guys let's see some high 9s!

Will have to keep my eye open for it tomorrow. What colour is the car (the resto link above doesn't open for me either).
Just hope the weather stays dry tomorrow, showers were predicted on the last weather forecast i saw.

I understand that it is early days for this car but what quater mile times can be expected of this car ?
To get this into perspective, Specky's vauxhall tigra is 2wd, road legal, the whole car probably cost less than the FFD and rear diff, on the old engine did high 9's.
