awesome x 1000000
Kinda looks like the Cultus/Escudo Suzuki entered in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb... you know, oversized spoiler, über powerful engines... I like the sound of that.

I'm sure they drove this in EVO mag and it was the fastest accelerating car that they had ever tested. 0-60mph in about 2.3 secs or something stoopid iirc.

Ford RS200 Evo Hill Climb#2
The Mach 2 Racing RS200
Engine builder Geoff Page was involved with the BDT-E engines from the start in 1987 and has assembled the engines for almost all the competition RS200s ever built. There are only a handful of specialists in the world who can build these engines, and Geoff is the best of the best. He built the engine and serviced the Mach 2 Racing RS200 that was driven by Stig Blomqvist in the 2002 and 2004 Pikes Peak Hillclimb. From that experience he knew that to beat the elusive 10 minute barrier he would need to find more power and find a solution to the power loss at high altitude.
The 2009 engine has greater capacity at 2,400 cc, the Garrett prototype turbo delivers more boost with greater control at different altitudes and the LIFE ECU is better able to adjust the engine management settings to cope with variable air pressure. This combination with high octane racing fuel delivers 950 horsepower. Finally, 70 litres of Nitrous Oxide gas boosts the power output to 1,150 horsepower for the equivalent of three minutes.

Although there are a few new pic's here, the Mach 2 Racing RS200 was already covered in thread below.

Doh , i wish i'd checked myself first before adding them !
Could a moderator possibly merge the new parts into the original thread ?
