A lot of power in those sierras!! They were trying to break away at every corner!

Awesome battle

sidewaysmatt · 23-06-2008, 21:22

Corey_XR4I · 23-06-2008, 21:32

all sierras where 560bhp and all built by Rouse

one of the few things left standard apart from top half off dash was the gearbox

They wasnt all built by Rouse

Gearbox was NOT standard either, far from it.

fricking LOADS of standard parts too, block, crank, rods, turbo, inlet and exhaust manifolds, intercooler, bodykit, and tons more.
More standard parts than 99% of race cars, more than almost any that has over twice the power they come out the factory with...

Thought you was a Ford Anorack

All well over 500bhp though yeah, piece of piss for a YB.

chris j · 23-06-2008, 22:09

Awesome racing! Why don't they do this anymore.

robrs2 · 24-06-2008, 00:25

Oh the myth of the RS500. They didn't have as much power as you think. Enjoyed watching them live (shows age).

kam · 24-06-2008, 00:39

fricking proper racing!!!

My favorite has to be Bathhurst though!

Silverfang · 24-06-2008, 00:42

YB terms, 560bhp isn't ringing it's neck that much... look at rallycross cars before they rung them in with the European spec restrictors... 800bhp+ was common and daaaaaaaaamn did those fly!

Great great video though

That a proper show of race etiquette coupled with under handed technique, enjoyed that nice one for posting it (especially luvin numba 6's tash 80's chiq or what!)

Brian325i · 24-06-2008, 01:39

all they were good for is breaking down

more power and still couldnt take the title from Ravagili(sp)

Warsteiner E30 ///M3 is legendary,the oul sierra's hadnt a chance in the twisties(some of the time lol)

Great racing though,seen dvd few times of whole season,proper stuff
