Oh wait, it's not a Ford Escort engine: It's one of these Still incredibly impressive tho.

It's not that amazing, but it is Ricky Bobby's 2CV

Unless I am missing something, compared to the 4wd Mustang the Escort seems very ordinary. There are dozens of similar Mk2 Escorts participating in all sorts of racing all around Europe.

But none of those escorts have Ken Block's name attached to it and get trillions of youtube views.

Do you guys not know race engines at all? Comparing a custom built race engine that has a life span in hours before rebuild to a street car is ludicrous. Edit: for what it's worth, Formula Atlantic 4AGE 1600s get around 240 HP at ~9500. KA24E in GT3 240SXs get around high 200s-300ish Octopus Magic fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Oct 20, 2015 |

To keep the pipes on the manifold while keeping the connection flexible.

Its a method of attachment that still allows quick disconnect and lower weight than a flange | bolts | nuts setup.

Someone sounds bitter! Maybe if you wanted recognition you should have come up with a driver that understands marketing and put a bunch of wildly popular videos up on youtube.

Apparently it is a euro spec 323i that was LHD but dude decided to swap it to RHD because that is the thing that makes the most sense out of the whole car.

Also: xzzy posted:Wisconsin huh? I give it two weeks before he's picking deer guts out of the grill. As a Wisconsin native, I sold an E30 to a friend, and a few months later, he creamed a deer on the driver's front, annihilating the headlights, grill, hood, and driver's fender. He fixed all of that poo poo, and then immediately creamed a deer on the passenger's front, annihilating the headlights, grill, hood, and passenger's fender Also also: Preoptopus posted:
