160mph - 7k in fifth in less than 1/2 a mile with 370bhp....
....ISH
Some testing in damp/dry patchy conditions today with bernies new box.
Pulled from a standing start 160mph+ in less than 1/2 a mile.
No timing results as i was on my own, but it felt fast (ass dyno says yeah) LOL...
Reckon its less than 20secs to be honest but the box is simply awesome, so glad i went for this over the tremec tractor box
Changes gear fast once warm with no hassles at all, pulls like fook in everygear....
Pulled 7100 in top which is just over 160 every time, car never missed a beat...

Traveling at a constant 180mph would take 20secs to cover 1 mile.
You can see where the confusion comes from Dingy. I know the clocks changed at the weekend and I know your motors FAST but it aint a time machine
Regardless of Time/Speed/Distance glad you have KIA back on the road and with a sorted box...nice 1

Another classic Dingy thread
Awesome car/engine/gearbox combo......
BUT.......PMSL @:
And you also said:
As B8 said - time machine........If you put all KIA's running gear into a DeLorean bodyshell the figures/speeds might make more sense

Took less than 9 to get to 100 and have done 125mph in 13 before...
And it accelerates as fast from 60-100 as it does to 150 so not sure on times.
Wasn't going on how far you can travel in a mile in 20 secs was i ?
160 in 1/2 mile in less than 20 secs - are you saying its not possible ?
Not arsed either way cause i wasn't really timing it....
But i know it doesn't appear to take longer than 11 secs to get from 100-160
Piss take all you like, no timing gear on the car, the ass dyno is clenched.
Reckon doesn't not mean actual fact doug

Dingy,
Either way it's a damn quick car you got there, nice package
with the handling/track performance to match the power
But pleeease get it to Brunters sometime........maybe
together with a few other Mk1 & Mk2 Cossie engined Escorts
Fairly sure I can get Paul Bailey to come along......

I've just looked at TOTB3 results and the fastest Cossie I could find did 173mph over 1.2 miles, so you should easily beat that if you can do 160 in 1/2 a mile.
That must mean you have the fastest car on here, surely?
