Modern Day Sierra Cosworth...
Stood chatting with Phil the other night and we agreed my VXR looked a bit like a 'modern day Sierra Cosworth'... just a passing comment (cos of the bonnet vents) but got me thinking as I used to drive a moonstone blue sapphire cossie, and a burgandy 'H' reg 4x4 sapphire cossie as well... they were mental in their day...
Heres a quick crappy phone pic whilst we were talking... so you can see what we were on about....

Why not say it was more like a Lotus Carlton? That was mental too and was ****** rapid to say the least
Pity the Vec never had 4x4 drive though.

the vents in the cozzy bonnet are genuine but
imo the vents in ya bonnet steve look like them vents you get from the
builders merchants for brickwork
they just dont look right imo sorry
Heres some interesting facts !!
According to the RS Owners Club :-
http://www.rsownersclub.co.uk/car_info/Ser2wdsc.htm
13,140 Rear Wheel Drive Sierra Cosworths were produced between 1988 and 1989 ?? 13,140 in ONE YEAR ??
Vectra VXR = 1001 produced between 2005 and 2009
Also...
0-60 mph
Sierra Cosworth = 6.1
Vectra VXR = 6.1
1/4 mile standing start
Sierra Cosworth = 14.4
Vectra VXR = 14.3 (my time)
Average MPG
Sierra Cosworth = 27.7 mpg
Vectra VXR = 27 mpg (my average)
So very similar
the vents in the cozzy bonnet are genuine but
imo the vents in ya bonnet steve look like them vents you get from the
builders merchants for brickwork
they just dont look right imo sorryYou guys never stop trolling do ya
But I do understand why
kerb weight:
cossie 1100kg
vxr 2500kg
^that's why it needed remap to get 1/4 mile the same
whats the vxr's raceing heritage ..?
