Thanks Mike.

I’ve never been to a dragster race myself. But Urs and Jndia Erbacher live next door. Maybe I should pay them a visit one day 😀

@frenk

Do your figures assume max power (MP) from 800 rpm to 7000 rpm not taking into account MP is only sustained for around 2000 rpm as it’s a billed up too and tail off from scenario.

Also as BDA points out air resistance causing friction, which plays a factor the faster you go the more air tries to slow you down.

Theirs no mention of bhp achieved on this car but I’m guessing it’ll be circa 450-500 bhp as it has extra fuelling and a much bigger turbo.

Cheers, white-rs2. I do sometimes 150 mph on the German Autobahn, but without chronometry.

It’s enough to show them the vanishing tail lights – except when I see the flashing head lights of the usual grey Audi RS 6 Avant in the rear view mirror, innit 😉

The second vid is more impressive , not many mods just the seats removed and in to 11,s

Also normally I would say that at 123mph terminal it must be around 550bhp but depends if it was fully loaded with seats interior etc , rs is heavy, if so maybe it was more like 600 plus

This is a clip from the pod a few years ago me racing my evo versus  one of the Harris,s in  his mk1 escort at santa pod did my pb 11.68

He was well quick on the lights did some research on him afterwards and he had raced go carts as a kid against Lewis Hamilton lol

[71-bda]

yes Robroy, and that was with his old manual gearbox, with the sequential box he must have saved nearly a second on the 1/4

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

Harris really do build very good Pintos & X-flows very well respected in the Old Skool Ford scene. I’ve had two X-flows off them over the years, they started, every time, they drove really well, what more do you want. If it’s the same Harris, down Kent way?

Mind you he was probably surprised I kicked his ass ?
