8second 200ci!

[TUF250]

there was a thread going around here where people were talking about what boat anchors the 200s are. in the latest edition of PFM Joe Gauci ran 8.77 in a 200ci powered cortina with a turbo (naturally). good times for a 3 liter engine. interesting that he chose that motor over the 200 as the extra revs are less benificial for turbocharging and its not as if the 200 rods are of any use to him as im sure its not standard lol. good times for the ol' motor anyway

yeah that cars been around for many many years.
