Here's one for you Carl : 13.573 @ 103.2 mph

In a MKII Escort Mexico

Martin just finished rebuilding his Harris 2.0 Pinto (was in bits last time I passed by). Not bad from the old car.

Need to get mine out for a run sometime. Just a big schlep to get to any raceway ~300 mile round trip.

I'm not sure about the exact power in its present home ... but approx 205+ BHP (using a Ron Harris built Race Pinto running 48 Webers, forged pistons), with LSD and sticky semi-race Yokahama tyres.

Another of our members (Sharkey) is creating a N/A Cosworth, shown below ... so should be a bit of competition on the track between the two at events this year.

I dont think 205bhp will get you over 100mph trap and also no where near 13.5,

thats packing pony.

Remember it is light and he is running a race/rally diff At least 4.33:1 - an Aerial Atom only puts out about 245BHP and that thing rips your face off

Just heard he was beating the Subarus and an RX8 and an RS4.

All I did today was wax the car ... sigh. In the wrong country this weekend.

Id expect it to rip normal subarus all day long. They were running 14's today at the pod.
Now the RS4 is a good kill. I want to rip up one of them.

Mid 14's at about 96-98mph.
You could have just asked for 330i... saved all the explanation

I like the way that Crail lists all of your times on one list - better than the Pod's crappy system
