Sacrilege, putting a Viper engine in a Jelly mould Horrid car, I left Ford and turned to Vauxhall when they bought the Seria out.

Would have been much better if he had put that engine in a Capri

That's a bit harsh mark, When you consider the problems viper owners have with tuning viper engines in vipers due to the lack of knowledge/availability of tools and access to information about the engine, it has to be said its a pretty good achievement to see a viper engine running in something other than a viper. Considering the number of people we see come through here who have acquired a viper engine and grand ideas of what they are going to put it in or build around it, this is one of the first I've seen where its actually running, so I say well done supraking.

Sorry, not knocking the engineering achievement, but I really hate the Seriea, it is responsible for almost every european jelly mould you see on the road today. Loved the Capri, Escort XR3i, Escort RS2000 the Cortina and Granada, but then Ford changed to the Sereia and IMO went down the pan. I've never bought another Ford.

I know people rave on about the Cosworths, good luck to them, they can keep em!
Not my cup of tea, ole boy
