i know him

him and a couple buddies have a shop in SFlorida....they build some pretty bad ass cars

I saw an 11 sec. escort GT but it had a worked 5.0 and lifting the front wheels at the track

 

[FocusRacer2003]

thats a badazz car, but 0-60 in 1.8 sec's that can't be right, can it?

 

[ax0n]

yep it can.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Uh, no.

NOTHING does a 1.8 0-60.

 

[Counterfiend]

possibly 60 foot time.

 

[ax0n]

then how to some funny car dragsters make it a whole quarter mile in under four and at 300+ MPH?

you sayin they spend the first half of their journey under 60MPH?

The escort might not pull 0-60 in 1.8, but I'm pretty sure there are vehicles that can do it a few times per weekend.

 

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Top fuel funny cars are one thing, 2200 lb. escorts are another.

Hot car all the same though.

 

[tdot-zx3]

0-60 doesnt seem to be correct .. But anythings possible right!

Whats with the glowing manifold!?

 

[nazthug]

0-60 is VERY possible with big slicks, a car that runs low 11s should hit high 1's in 0-60 on slicks

but i think its estimated, its probably in the 2;s somewhere

[UrbanGypsy]

WOW!~! that's the bumper I want I want I want.. and I want to make my 66whp escort pull at least a 15 sec 1/4, and I'll be totally happy widdat.

now to save up some more moula first

[konigwheels]

the thing is, he doesnt really have all that much money into the car....

 

[FOCAL X]

i love that glow

 

[SonicBlue2002]

Saw this over on honda-tech a couple weeks ago. The company is MotorMatrix, I think they have a 500+hp civic as well.

THink about it...what does a McLaren run in the 1/4mile? 11.6 or so? It also does 0-60 in like 3 seconds with a good driver...ON STREET TIRES

This escort with big slicks probably gets better traction than that mclaren, and runs faster in the 1/4mile...

I would guestimate on solid 2.5 0-60 with big slicks
