chrisbin Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 For abiout 8k-ish should see you in a Megablade! 6 speed sequential, 12000 revs mmmmmm Cheers Kevin I reckon that would take a bit of finding/negotiating..... Cheapest I've seen has been nearer £9-10k. But then I suppose as there are more examples around the chances of finding a cheap one increase...

hilux Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Of course a Zetec is 27 kilos lighter so must be more HP per pound As usual the ford brigade miss the point. IMO it is cheaper to highly tune/release power from a redtop VX than a ford and the VX is inherently reliable with a rich racing pedigree when highly tuned Another example is to look at the cost of tuning a K series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Seabrook Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 In late '99, it set a new lap record of Nurburgring in 7 min 55.21 sec, marginally faster than the previous record holder Porsche 911GT3 Taken from here So power is everything if you are only a straight line merchant. Lighter design if you want to go round corners you pays your money you takes your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timd Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 FWIW, 8k *might* get you the black twin bike engined westy too, with a bit of negotiating. Not sure if it has sold or not yet, but the owner was getting ever more keen to sell it and the price has dropped a lot. Whatever anyone says about twins, that would represent an awful lot of car for the money! And it would trounce any of the other cars for that kinda price. Depends what you want it for really...
