fastest mk2 that can be used

[ppmsales]

whats the best spec to look for in a rally style mk2 escort thats not to much hard work on the road?ive been told dog box's ect are a nightmare on the road?

[mk1gaz]

Mine's the fastest proper road car i've ever seen . Race tuned 16v pinto (atmo cossie) with full engine management + dry sump , type 9 s.c. gearbox , leaf springs and full interior , all steel panels , heater the lot . Performance recorded by an F.I.A. approved clock at 0-109mph in 12.8 secs despite no grip on 175mm wide tyres .
Drives spot on on the road (no gay trailer required) and ****es all over gp4 rally cars up the drag strip , lol . Of course if they fancy their chances then bring em on as i could do with a laugh !!!

[mk1gaz]

Mines not a mk2 though , it's the better looking original version with free road tax !!!

coarses

Its horses for coarses dont you think Gaz? A grp4 car is built to be safe, strong and last so is heavy. Where yours is built to go down a strip as quick as? the grp4 car may not be as quick down to weight, But if you were to put yours down a rally stage people would think Halfords had built a shop as it would fall apart. Then my son you would need to be gay and use a trailor

If you want a fast road car forget Gp4 as then it no longer is a road car. They shake you to bits and you can't hear anything for a week after.
Just be happy with a twinchoke and a LSD.
My sisters clio could beat Gaz down the strip if there was a two for one offer at the end of it

Only in a straight line tho Gaz

[hally]

i cant see any attraction in going in a straight line for 10 secs over and over again, it bores the tits off me!

Gaz, nearly finished my grp4.
I'd be happy to leave you some black lines to follow down the strip.

LOL!
