Old 1.6 escort

[Dazz]

Just wondering how fast these things are and how well they handle. The one im on about is the old box shape escort.

Would an 1.4RT stand a chance?? if not on the straights then maybe on the corners?

Hehe they are slow little dogs mate!

U would defo keep up I would imagine! Give it a go dude!

i did have a bit of a go but struggled a bit, i was two up and running diluted petrol (had some Wurth injector cleaner in it) oh and i had a fkd rear wheel bearing as well

next time il proper go for it.

btw, my mate drives one and is always giving it the biggen on how fast it is :-S

ROTFLMAO!!! they are sh*t slow, my mate has one, in my old rt, i used to give old sierra 1.8s grief. even if you had trouble keeping up on the straight show it a corner. escorts dont like em much!

Had a J plate scort before this car, body roll and grip through the corners is ridiculous.

my mate just got an escort, 1.6 xr3i cabriolet, and reckons it gets to 60 in about 8 secs??

I can give a mates more than grief in my phase 3 1.4.

As for the escort you shouldnt have a problem I imagine it has the same amount of horses and weighs more!
