Ekona Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 How on earth did you lose a TLGP to an old Sierra, they've got lag you can measure in weeks! 1 Quote
Ricey Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Was a roasted Peking duck driving it at the time? There must be some thing more interesting about the story?! 2 Quote
Beavis Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 How on earth did you lose a TLGP to an old Sierra, they've got lag you can measure in weeks! All depends on what state of tune the engine was in Dan, as you well know some serious output can be had from the 2 litre lump if properly done! And there are packages to deal with the lag. 400-500bhp can easily be obtained out of these engines Quote
JetSet Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 [ 400-500bhp can easily be obtained out of these engines Yes, there are stories of them overtaking F2 and F3000 cars on the straight at Silverstone on testing days in the 80's. Pete Quote

Beavis Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 I got busted wide by a Proton Satria GTI t'other day True story. I got busted in my Rover 200 by a BMW 530 GT today at a set of lights, he knew i wanted to get past because i was up his arse whilst he was doing 26mph in a 30 and i was sick of looking at his pig ugly rear end! Those cars are vile, not that the pile of dog sick i was driving was any better! Quote
rabbitstew Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Standard ones arent that quick but the 500 bhp ones are They are quick once you start throwing a lot of money at them. I used to have my mad Renault 5 GT Turbo on the road back in the day when cossys were popular and i lost count of the number of them who id seriously leave for dead. Used to really wind them up. In fact I used to have "bye bye cosworth" written under my back number plate. At one point I remember seeing Sierra Cosworths for sale for about 2grand, but as they are getting pretty rare now I think the prices are on the up. The RS500 one with the whale tale has always been quite rare though. Quote
