Opps!!! misread the thread Sorry!!! cant edit the post out now.

Didnt realise that Phil, you can come out for a run with me next time your over, and im sure a few of the lads will take you out in theirs too

I want some advice off you anyway when i see ya, so fair swop.

Oh, is this post about real cosworths only?

In which case, about 120mph as i only ever drove the 500 a few times before it got stacked, and any other cossie ive driven hasnt been my own so isnt in the spirit of this post i dont think?


Im going to nitrous mine and take it to brunters and try and set a "cossie replica top speed" record

Popeye, i wasnt saying your 160 on the clocks was more like 145, i was saying ive hit 160 on the clocks in my 3door but i know that my speedo is out and its more like 145 on my car.

Was just a bit unfortunate my post was right after yours as it made it look like a reply to you!

my speedo is out on my cosie,,,,,,,,,,,,, but it under reads due to my tyre sizes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so anyone with different size tyres should get it checked

at 100mph on the gps im doing over around 90 on the clocks

at 30 on the clocks im doing 34mph

so look into it guys

think my tyres are 245/50/17's OR 235/45/17's


its too cold to check
