Whats my chances???

[mk1super]

My boss was taking the mick out of my escort today and i said those fatal words "Its faster than your lump of plastic!" So he says "Prove it! Any time time you want" He has a 06 plate Astra Ecotec 1.6 Ive a 1600 xflow bvh cam carbs possibly bored out, should i stall till i fit the pinto?

[fergus mk2]

whats the diff ratio??

you will burn him no probs

[antz]

i reckon you could have him

 

on corners you can wave goodbye to him too

[mk1super]

whats the diff ratio??

you will burn him no probs

 

3.9 and ive a rocket box with quickshift

 

I kinda thought the corners he would do better being Fwd an all? Mind you my car does do well on B roads

[Fiesta Steve]

Just give the x-flow death m8, do him !!

understeer into a tree more like

 

your in an escort mate. the rally car of the 70s. you will OWN him on corners!!!!!!

 

i owned a mk3 xr3 escort on the twistys in my 1.3!.....then we got to a straight

[Noodles]

1.6 Ecotec should have about 104bhp but its FWD so, dunno

[Copey]

just go for it, you can always come back with a bigger and better engine, and if you win you can come back later and say "oh, by the way, it's even faster now"

[mk1super]

I'll remove the seats save some weight

[zetecmk2]

if he beats you...point out the 30 yr gap!! you can't loose!!!

[mk1super]

[c20xe]

invite the osf crew down for the evening oh so conveniently the likes of the osfdc might turn up and shut them al up

[MightySprocket]

lmao did anyone see the Top Gear show when they put a works RS1600 rally car from the 70's against a bog standard focus.... the escort lost big time. Thats what advances in technology has done, a family car handled better than a works team rally car

Escort rally car against a car built for tarmac only ....see see what would of happened if they'd put a proper tarmac escort up against the focus

[cyrix]

Zero chance, the Escort wont win, even with a pinto.

 

I think people are seeing things a little rose tinted, lol.

Race some one of your mates in a similar car who might not take the piss as much first and see if your in for a chance.

 

Anyway if you loose just do a nice drift that will impress him

[mk1super]

Well i can keep up with my mates mx5 ( By his own admission its a homo car! ) but he was trying.

1600 astra weighs well over a ton so even with 100-105 ponies its still limper than a week old rich tea.

 

power and torque figures are probably pretty similar to a 2 litre pinto but in a much heavier car

 

 

[PIG]

with a 3.9 you will have him to about 80mph then he will sail past.touch a motorway and the escort will be history no dought.win or lose he owns a fookin astra so the joke will always be on him poor fella.

[emu]

Your not a vauxhall fan then PIG??

[Yeomans22]

his engine managment light will be on by the time hes goes for 3rd gear

 

boot it
