well the fastest non turbo escort is 150bhp 2.0 16v … they do 60 in 7 seconds
then the xr130 has 130 bhp tops out at about 130
mine is beyond 130 spec but my management needs sorting
uk escorts don’t weigh a great deal - if you figure it out in metric i’ll compare the two spec for spec - stock motors ignoring the cossie unless you have any producing more than 150 - the rs2000 has the option of 4wd as well!
The engine puts out 133 as standard - just been rebuilt, going to upgrade the actuator, big intercooler ecu chip… decent airfilter and a large bore exhaust system no cat - should see 190 minimum :evil:
I’ve got my interior fairly stripped out as well. No spare, no back seats. There isn’t really any insulation inside. It’s pretty much all just metal. LoL It makes it feel lighter though.
