Hi,
I dont understand the problem:
The Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 gets around 400 bhp (depedent on chip)
and this is a road car. A friend of mine has one and its quite nippy
but compared with a TVR Griffith it gets blown away. The RS500 motor
is of course 2 litres. Escorts have been fitted with BDA's for years
throwing out 285 bhp reliably. A lowly OHV 1598 motor can be coaxed to
give 185 bhp but it requires a forged, stroked crank however.
Regarding the Griffith I would be interested to know of any Cobra
driver who could compare the two and claim the Cobra handled better:
I'm not sure they could when injected with sodium pentathol !
I suppose if all roads were dead straight the answer would be less clear
but thankfully they have bends in and in BOTH directions unlike
INDY-CART: I wonder if the top (apart from Mansell and Senna) CART drivers
would break any F1 circuit records within a short time of driving a F1 car ?
