1982 Escort 2.0 litre Zetec sleeper!
I'm not a massive fan of the mk3 Escort normally, though this Zetec engined sleeper (in economy brown colour!) looks like it could be GREAT fun for pi$$ing off more modern sporty cars

Brown just adds to the sleeper effect

I know, but imagine how it looks to the boy racers when their modded modern shitbox gets blasted into the weeds by a, er, retro brown ancient shitbox!

Last November I was at a track day at Bedford Autodrome. One of the cars there was a mk3 Fiesta (complete with 'LX' badge on the back), that looked almost totally standard. Under the bonnet it had a 2.0 litre Zetec (standard) conversion (with Fiesta Turbo gearbox), coil overs and Cosworth brakes all round. I'm not kidding when I say that it was one of the quickest cars on the track, and there was some serious cars there too (Lotus Elise, Jai's Uno Turbo, BMW track cars, the usual Evos, Caterham Super 7's etc. Oh, and an Ariel Atom!)
Personally I think the mk3 Fiesta is one of the dullest looking cars ever made, but the sheer performance of this vehicle and the way it harassed some way more exotic metal made it all the more appealing. In that installation, the Zetec 2.0 seemed rather a good upgrade

Re: 1982 Escort 2.0 litre Zetec sleeper!
it would be great around my area to surprise all these boy racers round here.
my mate used to own a fiesta rs turbo, modified quite a bit, he used to make me feel sick every time he took me out in it.
it wasn't the speed though it was the fact he crashed a few car's because of driving like a muppet.
