i would buy a mk 1 V6 and spend the rest on a holiday ;)
V6s are very special cars. they are all ready classics IMO
if i had the money i would have a R5 Turbo 2 and a Vee 6.
i drive like a granny ;) the funny thing was i was driving normally at 40 mph ( this was in between the 2 roundabouts at maple leaf and volvo garages )
thanks 4 the comments. i love summer you get traction :) havent driven it since augest 04 :o theres no point. 800 kg, 200bhp and FWD dont go in the wet.
havent spent that much, you save a lot of money when you do all the work yourself ;)
im gonna do some pictures, old school and new school :D
6 months in the garage, it hasnt moved or been started, it was a nice day so i took it out, what a beast took a little video on my phone. :D

GTT all the way but ive got one ;)
Standard GTT is will keep up with a 172 no problem. but there arent very realiable trust me and they do end up eating a lot of your money.
once you hit 200bhp you beat almost everything the kick is just amazing.
my advise is get a GTT as a track or...
nope no conversion kits just engineering skill. the basic idea is front subframe in the back but you have so many problems with alinement gear selector, handbrake, brakes e.t.c
if that escort weights 1021 kg then a standard RST must weight over 1100 kg...
tuned RSTs seem to put loads of power out but arent really that fast down the 1/4 for some reason?? :)
