Positive! figures of over 550 not exceeding 600 on tests and dyno and press information 😉 just packaged really well and Xtrac and Schanche’s engineering knowledge 😁
Thanks for posting this amazing material, man. I really enjoy watching those overpowered cheap cars races (at least I think they were not as expensive in the 80s as the RX cars are today).
I believe Martin Schanche.s Escort cost him around 50K pounds back then. That'd be somewhere around 115K pounds today. Or around $150,000 US. I can't remember the cost of modern day rallycross cars, but I think it's something like $250,000. So the cars back then weren't quite as expensive as they are now, but they were definitely pricey.
@@Sir_Brennan Mr Rallycross escort cost £50,000 he's been seen saying that at the time , John Welch's about 18 months later was said to be £60000 so maybe it was latest spec parts but £60 grand in 85 must be @ £300 grand in 2020
Put it this way, in 1985 John Welch's Escort cost him £60,000. In 1987 you could walk into a showroom and buy a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth for just under £18,000!
