but an escort cosworth is a bit different to a mk3 fiesta

Fair enough, Didn't realise it was an ecos, thought it was a different one. Im sure I read somewhere it was one of the most un-aerodynamic cars for them to work with though

the wrc spoiler made it a little bit light on the back, which i'm sure is all you need at 200mph

If theycan launch a reliant Robyn surely a fiesta can go pretty quick

Something tells me that speedo is lying to you, 1.6 Si Gearbox runs out at 125mph

mk3 fiesta isnt exactly dynamic, you would be better off using a mk7 fiesta with the new edge design, the focus rs500 with this "new edge" cutting design easily does 165mph

i agree, with the amount of work it takes to get good power out of a ford lump, i think it would make sence to go jap, rb26 or a 2jz if you could get your hands on them, the standard blocks can withstand 1500hp and 700, 800hp isnt that hard to get from them and in a tin shed of a fiesta that weighs less than a packet of crisps, it might just be possible to crack the 200mph barrier

Most out of mine was 125mph but that was downhill and wind behind, wouldn't say that was easy as as after 110mph your relying on gravity lol.

Gotta remember how much your speedometers is out by a those speeds though.

good job mate. There is nothing wrong with american muscle. Those cars are unique and full of 50s and 60s character. Just cant beat the rock'n'roll era in america.
