not long now for this to be moved in the muppet room

 

haha lol

 

Dont worry lads MO's RST will put these drag star 1.2 Corsa's down .

A David Brown tractor is quicker to 5mph than a Ferrari 360 & thats a fact.

 

rod im not saying corsa's are quick as there not. Im saying there lighter and much more responsive at low revs from pulling of.

 

Why is they so many mongs on here these days? Fucking hell!

 

How can a 1.2 N/A engine be more "responsive" than a 2L turbo engine ?

At any point in the rev range the 2L will have more torque and be more "responsive" while the 1.2 will feel "gutless"

 

No lag

 

 

You said something negative about the sacred Cossie name & must suffer this abuse & banter .

 

how much do you think a cossie weighs?

 

Hmmmmm...

 

Scs escort Did 2.63 to 60mph with 450bhp

Was aiming for low 2sec and under 5sec to 100 but muppet sold it

 

How was that recorded Jim? Was it on Datron?

 

watch out for those 1.2 Corsa's. they are rapidoooooooo

 

Was at brunters no idea mart

Did constant 2.6s also at ford fair again on 450bhp boost level

 

If it was Brunters with Datron (or similar) then I reckon it will be right, Ford Fair however..... 450hp doesn't surprise me, mine had too much wheel spin at 2.88 0-60.

 

Martin what times has your new car set,any plans to try some 1/4 and o-60 before it sells.

 

Yeah its difficult to get the power down through 225 rally slicks

I'd just been on track in my first session with boost down low and dad didn't realise, set the fastest time all day!

 

Never done a 0-60 in the new car, might have a go one day if it doesn't sell but can't be arsed with all that anymore tbh. I'm officially an old bastard now

 

No offence you need to know how to drive it properly! As standard they are sub 6 seconds in the dash to 60 which few cars can do nowadays, leave alone a Corsa lol!

You need to learn where the powerband lies with the Cosworth, get it right and you will get a nice launch, get it wrong and they bog down and you wont get off to a fast start... initially!

Martin

 

Here's the old car..

Will we see that car on track again next year?

 

I imagine so. The guy is using it a lot on the road ATM done track days, taken the piss out of record holders for hill climbs just loving it, I'm jealous

 

Don't know if it was ever timed o-60 but Kevin Sharps old car must of been in the 2's to 60 I would think.

 

Oh and 'Cosworthlad' can you edit the thread title ffs

Here's a clue:



REYLAND

 

That car got off the line well Martin!

Here's a 2.6run of the old fellas

It`s nice to see it beeing used the way it was build for. Hate when lovley cars been breaking and sold in parts. Is your old man, building a new toy or is he beaten by the age like Martin lo.

 

No, a Wrc escort is under way

 

That also looks like it could be quicker if perfected Short gearing does help though doesn't it?

 

Are you for fucking real...?... Mate has a redtop corsa tricked up and my standard 3dr at 10 psi smashed it a new arse hole off the lights and upto 150mph where I couldn't see him anymore... And here is what happens when they think they can corner faster than me off a round about... Like I said in your other thread... Real men drive 3dr cosworth... This lad tried beating me through 3 round abouts... I exited the last one at 60 on full lock... And this was a red top....

 

I'm not really beaten by age tbh (Harvey is older) but I've lost interest, if the engine and box sells them an evolution will appear...

 

No! Dad wanted his longer for 0-60 as turbo cars love to pull against a big gear as I'm sure your aware.

Too many gear changes sometimes but for tracks like cadwell and airfields it was great and very sharp!

 

Whooooooo dude, way too much lock on cornering

 

Agreed, slightly longer would have been better but getting cleanly away with 3.6 gearing almost certainly results in wheel spin.

 

Just kidding, i now what you say. You have been there done that, times comes for trying something new. Was looking at your escos when you was on gatebil, just love it

 

Never knew yours was on 3.6! I can imagine it being a very fine line trying to get away without bogging or spinning

 

The video of my car shows exactly that!

 

Ha ha have you checked your tires lately? They must be shit! I reckon you must have nankang-ditchfinders to be beaten by a 1200 corsa haha

 

Martin I only nipped shop and some 21yr old said his corsa was quicker... So off I went down a staight to the first round about by this time I'm already 15 cars in front... Then he must have thought I'll get him through the round abouts.... How wrong was he.... .... I looked In my mirror as I exited the last round about and saw him bouncing from the kerbs....


So I had to go back and help him... When the coppers turned up I told him to tell them his ball joint had gone....
