cortina V6

Just read a thread on somewhere here about the Cortina V6 that Julian Raymond used to Rally .The magazine I am now looking at is the1982 "RALLY YEARBOOK " and it mentions the Raymond car ,but shows a picture of the German Cortina V6 of MICHAEL WERNER on the Hunstruck rally Registration number is K-LM 124 in white sponsered by Ford and Sport and Goodyear and of course Shell and describes it as the other cortina

I used to drive my old dear's 2.0 GL, fastest STD pinto I've sat behind

[rwdrs]

imagine trying to rally a Cortina

I take the front crossmember mounting bushes were heavily modified, as well as the rear axle setup too.

the XR6 above is a 3.0l and was quite common when I lived in SA

The SA cortinas inc the XR6 had a differant rear end, 5 linked with paralel top arms mucho better at conering and putting power down, standard UK speck rear end cant really get more than 140BHP down with out ripping bushes or spinning the power away, i've had enough 2.8 cortinas to notice and even me 2.3 cant pull away without spinning the wheels, there's no squat to force the tyres into the road, crap design.
When hyundai used the cortina floorpan for the stellar they used a halfway house between the UK and SA spec rear ends, handles better than the UK but not quite a good as the SA cortina version.
K-LM was driven by Michael Werner for a few seasons and was based on a SA XR6 (with the better susspension) and did quite well, the UK car Raymond drove had a modifyed escort groupe 4 rear end and lots of tweeks and bush changes to the front end, i'm waiting on an email back from it 2nd driver Richard Lliffe at the mo.
Seriously i could go on all night so i'll stop there but i have just got a load of new pics and info on K-LM but it's all in German
