Im going to map my ST then it will really be able to pump the modded classics too at crail.

My mate at work has a modded ST (custom map 307bhp/367lbs) and swears my Type R is still quicker. He upgraded to an RS clutch which has made a difference, I think we'd be quite closes as long as he could get then power down.

What about an ST v lightly modded classic day? :)

Surely even a tuned st with 300bhp ish, would seriously struggle with a lightly modded classic? Fwd vs 4wd plus classic gotta have a couple hundred kg less?

With the added weight of 4WD over the RS I think the weights would be quite similar over all, remember a 4WD set up is quite heavy

That wouldn't take a full day. Sure we could finished them off before lunch.

At least the ford might turn up in bigger numbers :D

And get a half decent race :)

fair point JC, and they would be even smaller in a modded classics mirror :)

fair point Dunc but i would need my binoculars to see them in my rv mirror :D

might be finished before lunch but only if those old 4wd systems pack in! lol

Nope 4wd bogs down and larger transmission losses plus the Torque that the 5pot chucks out is mental.

Forget the RS there are even heavier than an st and by a fair bit!

A wee show off against scoobs and fordy boys could be a good laugh tho on a serious note. big turnouts at crail from RSOC and STOC if wee got a good dry day some of the more highly tunned fwd st and rs would suprise id think once they can put the torque down.

if in the summer and the cosworths are out the garage,

now high powered scoobs against high powered ESCOS now that would be cool old school vs new school.

That would be a cracking day out IMO, Think JC Scoob organised one VS the Capri guys a few years back, it rained on the day so that was them fecked :)

call it battle of the Blue Ovals

and there can be only one winner of that and its the Ford boys

Banter's banter mate but have you had a look at the quater miles times subarus have posted on this board? What sort of time would expect the ford crew to be able to come up with? Genuine question btw.

Would you be looking for Andrew G to save the rest of you?

Sounds to me like you've volunteered for some event organising mate!

You'll note I left the bit of your quote out about the fords winning though! *lol*

Seriously though, that would be a cracking day... make it so!

I'll be up for some of that but make it summer as my car will be ready by then.

Nice one Greig :)
