[Copey]

hmmm not sure would be a close one, think the minis small size and weight could give it the edge tho...

[Guest MK1gaz]

The mini should win unless it's got 35 bhp

[Vista]

Sorry Dave I'm with the others, Cortina is a big heavy car for a 1600 Pinto

[GJUK]

The minneh

[the master]

[marky4]

Ok, the mini!

[DeanMk1Capri]

Altho i'd like to say the Tina I think it would be the mini

[mk14dr]

let his tyres down if you really want to win

[abarth78]

mate get those tyres down to 15psi and get rid of some extra weight...

[geoffersmasher]

ive voted cortina just so it may spur you on

 

but it doont look healthy

[Stu_B]

My bro had a 1275gt & that thing flew..... good luck though!

[jimmyesh]

Mini I'm afraid mate! Good luck anyway

[mossy]

going with the mini, my mate has one and eats rs's

[Daveyboy20]

My mate has a mini with 1275 kandn nice cylinderhead and bigbore exhaust and the acceleration is almost identical to my cortina which is 1600cc with 32/36 carb and straight through zorst an a 4 speed box! A lot of the time i seem to be catchin up ever so slightly but its very close. Id say the cortina may just have the edge, they aren't as heavy as they look, i pushed mine up a big hill by me when i ran out of petrol! big empty boot no big struts or bulky inner wings and they are actually smaller than a lot of people think. Let a bit of air out the rear tyres for a better footprint, and fingers crossed! How many people you taking down? you could always strip the interior for the weekend, take a bit of octane boost!

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

well hes droped out now (the mini)

 

im still running tomorrow so will let you know my times tomorrow night

[russ105e]

You could have pulled a red light and swerved into him

[RETRO_AL]

I had a mini with a minisport 1.3 and it had 96bhp and it whet realy well,no way a 1600 cortina would keep up

[Jay_harrier]

a mate ran a 1430 mini with a big single SU, big valve head etc - scary little monster, sub 8 second to 60.

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

he didnt run

 

but i ran 20.144 seconds @67.28 mph (1.275 reaction time)

 

i got a .955 reaction time but missed second gear so ran 20.623 seconds @65.83 mph

 

also ran once without getting into 4th gear still ran 67 mph though

[mk1mexico]

Well done thats a respectable time for a 1.6 pinto cortina

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

cheers what should i expect if i put a healthy 2.0 pinto in it ?

[mk1mexico]

id estimate the high 16's

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

cool i want to get into 15s eventually
