Who has the fastest car here?

[Guest MK1gaz]

So is mine

But can you go quicker than 13.0 secs on street rubber then ?

[dommo1]

These 3 are the fastest PROPER COMFY N.A. 4 cylinder oldskoolfords at the Pod without gas and in a road legal state at the time i think . Ron Harris Jnr mk1 escort Harris X-FLOW GAZ in 13.6 secs (or thereabouts as was a few years ago and can't remember exactly ) , Tony Simpsom mk1 escort Harris pinto in 13.8 secs and Richard Harrison Anglia 105E Harris

Ron Harris Jnr mk1 escort Harris X-FLOW GAZ in 13.6 secs

13.6 secs with a X-flow , street rubber , no gas and no bits missing is mental . Are you sure though , especially the not on slicks bit ?

YOKOHAMA street tyres

Excellent stuff , still top of the comfy ones then

[russ105e]

 

Dave Mk2 Duratec

 

 

Rob Beckenham HPE mk1

[Darran]

Here they are , these 3 are the current fastest N.A. 4 cylinder oldskoolfords that were street legal at the time . Watch out for them down the High Street

 

Slicks took 1/2 a second off. 12.8

 

My mk2 has only got no carpet/heater etc.

Apart from that its fully built up.

All steel panels,glass,even complete doors

 

Nice picture Gaz

[Guest MK1gaz]

They're you go folks , decent slicks are worth at least 1/2 a second and worth much more time the more power you've got . I think we can all agree that a N.A. 4 cylinder genuine street car in a fully M.O.T. passable condition at the time of the run without gas that can go faster than 13.5 secs is very rare indeed , so when mine does it with all the bits still on it i expect some beer !!!!!!!!!

[DarrenM]

DarrenM , can you post up some pics of your V8 12 sec comfy street car capri so people know what it looks like ? I've got no pics of it to post up only a video on a DVD i bought from Halfords

 

I did a 13.7 at Brunters on that video but still @ 109 mph, then knocked a second off in EXACTLY the same spec at Shakey!

 

I have a MK1 Capri lined up to receive the running gear from this one so hope to be a bit faster with a bit of weight off and still do track days at Castle Combe!

 

See the MK1 Capri in Classic Ford this month, 11.66@117 on street tyres

Cheers Darren for that , 12.7 secs is mental whilst in a standardish looking , comfy street car

I thought Ron Harris Jnr ran around 13.8 on slicks with his cross flow.

 

Jon Harris may have run 13.7 on his CF but that was definately on slicks.

 

When I ran my 13.35 on slicks (2005) the twins were there and I'm fairly sure they said that was quicker than Ronny or Jon had ever gone even on slicks.

 

Quick cars even on slicks

No digital ones of the '67 without scanning paper prints. '66 was my favourite and I still regret selling now, I kept the wheels though and will have another!

 

[Guest MK1gaz]

Nice mustang mate

[Darran]

A lot of you will remember "big john" and his famous yellow mexico.

 

He ran i beleive 13.1 with a 2.2 pinto.

 

And drove it to the pod no trailor/a frame.

 

Chatting to him on the M1 ,on the way to USC late 90s.

Heavy traffic,he had 50s,paddle clutch and a dog box,

Very funny seeing him go sideways inbetween the traffic

 

Anyone got any pics when john had the mex?

[spitbarnatt]

 

Just found your car on you tube when Mark had it

 

Nice! He ran a 13.1 with the 2.2 pinto on worn 185 A032's, I've added some weight and some power, hoping to run similar on A048's. Spoke to Mark this week, going to take the Escort up to see him once the Cossie install is finished - not long now. Love this vid of him:

[spitbarnatt]

fook knows how I stuck that up twice
