"The World's fastest street legal Cosworth - became the first Cosworth to exceed 200mph reaching 201.8mph on the 16th September 2004 at Bruntingthorpe Testing Ground."

This is my m8's, fathers's car, and I have to say he sacred the crap out of me on the Basingstoke Ringroad a couple of weeks ago.  I won't say what speed he was doing, but I very much doubt I will be doing those speeds again unless I become a fast jet Pilot or my misses unbans me from ever getting in it again!

Here's a link if you are interested-  http://www.geocities.com/rtarry_uk/

My Golf felt very slow driving home that day and has done since!  My advice, don't get in it unless you want your idea of a quick car and comprehension of speed thrown out of the window!

Enjoy

Bazza...

Yeah, Video link is down.  I will upload a clip and create a links laters.

In the mean time, it may be in your interests to watch Fifth Gear tonight @ 20:00 on channel Five!

Rod who owns the car won't give anything away!

Bazza.

It does if you go to the videos tab.

Awesome car. I have always been a fan of the Cossie. Even a standard one could hold its own against most hot hatches and fast family saloons of today. Excellent exhaust note too!

"The 0-60 time is limited by lack of traction, but once past 100mph no production car is capable of living with its acceleration. 0-100 in 7.1, 0-150 in 13.3sec, 0-180 21.2 & 0-300kph in 22.95sec. have been officially recorded"

thats mental! mine hit 60 in 5.7 and 100 in about 11 odd, but 150 in 13 secs! thats must feel awsome, is is still 2wd as i noticed its E plate?!? im sure ive seen that car b4 in books and stuff

My mate had an Escort RS Cosworth with loadsa ponies and I recall even yet just how much notice it got and how easily it could mince Evo's and the like. Ace cars. Ford should bring the Cossie back.

Yeah that was my m8 Neil, doesn't know one end of the camcorder to the other- He didn't even think he was recording when the car when past him. LOL.

Did anyone see Fifth gear tonight?

Hello Bri, yep watched it tonight mate and that is one seriously quick car.  Brown seats as standard !!!

Basingstoke ring road, eh !!  Naughty naughty !!

Unfortunately my misses saw it 2, and said if I ever go in it again she will divorce me!

She may have a point!
