Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Who's seen the white RS2000 mk2 in the new classic ford mag then ? It's got a 577BHP cosworth turbo engine . Sounds scary !!!!!!!!
davreeve Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Not seen it yet, but yep!sounds scary.Is it possible to use all that power in a mk2?
DEP Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 yeah and 612 bhp on race fuel, buts thats cheating so we wont go there
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 So how would 577bhp in an unarched mk2 escort on street rubber with a space hopper sized turbo on a bumpy dual carrageway behave then ? . The words "fooooook that for a game of soldiers" springs to mind !!!!!!!
tim Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 fmc 555v,well known car,was doin rs show back in the early 90s with a cossy engine
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 yeah and 612 bhp on race fuel, buts thats cheating so we wont go there It's not got gas , so can't be cheating !!!!!!
RFChris Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 So how would 577bhp in an unarched mk2 escort on street rubber with a space hopper sized turbo on a bumpy dual carrageway behave then ? . The words "fooooook that for a game of soldiers" springs to mind !!!!!!! Our mk1 (RF's) is 330bhp on 175 and that's scary as shhhhhheeeeehite. Fair play to anyone who has the kahoonas to drive something with 577bhp on not much more rubber.
trispage Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 it does look but is it designed to go in straight lines or sideways ??
davreeve Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 YOU,d certainly need a good supply of rubber underpants
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Shame we can't see a dyno print out of the engine cos it must be laggy as fooooook low down and then try and kill you when it comes on boost !!!!!!!! . If it has got 577bhp then it would smoke those tyres at 100mph in the dry allday long . It's also for sale , who's feeling rich then !!!!!!!!

Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 it does look but is it designed to go in straight lines or sideways ??It's got a pucker tarmac spec Gartrac linked bodyshell etc etc so i would imagine it to be a very capable handler/sideways machine
RChambers Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 If its mapped properly on a decent ECU then it will be pretty driveable. You can map more less boost on part throttle now days so that you can choose how much power you want rather than all or nothing scary as fook old turbo cars
Monkfish Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Apparently it need a close eye on the boost guage at all times!! Brian reckoned that it was surprisingly usable in the dry, but he'd not had the latest engine in for very long before the shoot – if there's a rain cloud within a mile you don't even want to look at it though! When it was 400-odd brake he was using it to run down to the shops in though!! Literally a blip of the throttle had the rear lit up in the lock-up though – seriously awesome stuff!
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Can't wait to see it at a show , it must be worth a few bob as well
Monkfish Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Can't wait to see it at a show , it must be worth a few bob as well It is for sale...
tim Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Can't wait to see it at a show , it must be worth a few bob as well might have 2 travel to see that as the car lives in scotland i believe
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 i'm doing the lottery this week then !!!!!!!
mk1super Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 i'm doing the lottery this week then !!!!!!! You may win lotto but we wont let you into the country till you wear your frock and fit in with us in our skirts

kevmk2 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 When Andy moggerridge owned it, he spent a small fortune on it, he sold it for £11k yes £11k. The guy who bought it had it about 2 weeks and sold it for over £20k Then it was for sale again with differant wheels on it for £29,995. And then it appears again as it is now. Paul who done Ickys escorts for him worked on that car too, done the linking and gearbox tunnel
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Blimey , how much is it now then ? More than £30,000 i suppose
