vans as quick as cars

[madmark]

but at the end of the day my transit is a quick van ,its not a raceing car its a van
but it pulls like train and this is what andrew-v4 was saying it took along time for him to catch me!
i am shure from past coments from owners of the rs20004x4 these were a slow car with about 150bhp and a engine that wasnt very tuneable,and heaps of problems with the gearbox or transferbox! a rover with with 200bhp turbo up its chuffer should eat it for dust!

Who said owt about rs2000 4x4's mines 2wd and will do the 1/4 the same as the rover 600ti

[lincolnrs2]

save the small talk for the pod if u need ur chav i mean rs2000 towed back when you blow it up trying to keep up wiv custom i could do it with my van for a small fee

Have you ever know an I4 engine to blow I have'nt there bullit proof why did you think Ford used em in the F2 race/rally cars

Why go to the pod aswell I'll do it on the road

so what 1/4 mile time has your actual rs2000 done
post a pic of the slip too

[Neil]

you can talk about this subject forever as most ford speedos lose accuracy after 60 get a proper italian sports car no vans a match

[OxtonyxO]

ok then how about this
i own a vectra gsi v6 2.5
it has
regal stage one kit
bastruck(?) exhaust s/s cat back
piper cross air filter
and rolling road tuned by regal

and my van IS faster fact. my wife cant catch the van
at 80mph she catches up then my van tops out at 120mph

[MRspivvy]

ANY van is faster than my car.

[Britishbulldog]

do you except your wrong now

No I don't execept I'm wrong

Its time to put things to the test then

All you fast transits out there come down to Santa Pod in April 08 for the Rs owners club central day and run em down the strip against rs cars eg RS2000's,RS Turbo's etc I go every year so unless your transit's running 16sec for the 1/4 your gona struggle

I have a trade stand there every year with a very reputable RS Tuner that tunes and deals with Fast Ford Magazines own cars let alone the other Rs Turbos cosworth's etc that he builds.

So its time to Put Up or Shut up

I'll be there running in my 2.3 rs2000 so I hope to see you Boys there

This is'nt a bitch fest its just a simple invite to fast transit boys

As as for the comment about being towed back from the pod my RS2000's go every year and have never broke once touch wood

See ya there

hmmm you seem to be missing the point here
i'll race you my van vs your car - but the catch is we both have a ton of bricks in the back if not i'll use my bike - so you'll need to be running 11 sec ¼s to stand a chance that fair

vans are not as quick as cars no one here is saying they are now it's been pointed out to you that a transit doesn't weigh 3 tons like you thought it did you should have realised they (customs van) is faster than you thought

i dont think there is anyone on here who bought there van to be quick, i didnt i just wanted a 6 seater with a high towing capacity, large load area which i suits my lifestile eg as eariler mentioned mountain biking now a car wouldnt do that i just happened to fit a cosworth engine as custom did which makes it a very fast van - faster than the average car but not faster than your average fast car

but i still might turn up

[lincolnrs2]

Come along fella for defo

every 1's welcome v6 cossie vans with power to weight of 130bhp per ton cossie turbo'd vans and a v8s etc

let yer vans do the talking mate as i'm sure they are quick

would be fun for us all a cheap day out

[cossie-t]

lincoln rs i will race you at the pod without the bricks, in my cossie yb, and some vans are faster than cars

Yes ure right they are reasonably quick cars, I know I have owned 3 of them but they are pretty much untunable as standard blocks, thats why I bought a scubby (which is far more tuned) - and that did scare the shite out of me first few weeks.

I would say however I would have another rs2000 2wd any day, what a beuwtiful car in white they are....

[Gromit]

What we need is Sundowner to bring his van over and really piss some people off.
