This is my husbands car with its latest conversion. It is recorded 0-100 mph 6.9 secs 0-150 mph in 12.7 secs 0-180 mph in 17.8 secs 0-200 mph in 24.5 secs please remember this car has over 900 bhp and Veyron type acceleration. Cheers
Rod the Cosworth legend.... I had the pleasure to meet him and have a cuppa talk cossies when he purchased a front bumper from me. Sir you are and will always be a legend in the ford world. R. I. P Rod😔
I had a Magenta Sierra Cosworth 4x4 and on the road it was one of the best cars I’ve ever driven .. no body roll and superb brakes … they have certainly increased in price since .. not as quick as this one though .. great stuff and love the flame 🔥
My god Rod are you still alive with all that power. My 200sx is 400bhp+ and its a handfull.I had 2 sapphire cossies 2wd good cars and have followed your cars progress over the years.Well done awesome long term project and your power levels now are right up there with the best.
love the saphire cosworth, people go who moan about the speed "ohh it only does 206mph with 850 bhp" its like a brick doing 200+ these cars hit an aerodynamic wall at about 170/180 mph.
How badly did I want a Saph Cosworth when they first came out... Shame most have been ragged to death now - mind you, 43 grand for a car that does that sort of speed, has 5 seats and decent boot is an absolute bargain!
fair play to mark and rod. an awesome effort! i know how they feel as im obsessed with cosworths and spend an absoloute fortune on mine without even thinking about it. it is a hobby after all!
I think people are forgetting that this speed is reached in a comparatively short run. It is seriously quick! Other cars attended on the same day but failed to run, the Cosworth went out in bad conditions and still did the job! I don't understand the haters comments, I suspect the owner of this car spent less time on CZcams criticising others efforts than some of these....
yeah...to me they are supercars...my dad has 2 of em...1 is a mk2 and the other is a sierra. never heard him say that any one of em broke down. they are really good.
knowing rod, and knowing the car, and also knwoing a little bit about what he's done to it and the effort him and mark have put into it, unless some people have positive comments to make, you really don't have a clue as to exactly how fast this car is, rod has let the car (and sheady) do the talking more than once :)
BRING ON THE COSSIES.I OWNED A 400 BHP BUILT ESC COSSIE BY HARVEY GIBBS UNBELIEVEABLE PERFORMANCE.EVEN BEAT MY BROS R1 UPTO 140.COSWORTH IS A BONAFIDE SUPER CAR THAT WILL GIVE ANYTHING A RUN FOR ITS MONEY,,LOVE COSSIES OWNED 4 SAPHIRES AND 1 ESC COSSIE.WHAT A MOTOR
The Veyron cost so much because it was designed from scratch to do well in excess of 200 mph; after 220 there's a wall where every mph is a real pain to achieve. It also set out to do all this while remaining reliable and driveable. Most 1000BHP modified would send you into straight into the nearest wall if they started at all without a mechanic handy.
I have owned 4 Fords, 1 cortina & 3 sierras all awesomly reliable!I currently have a 90 sappphire ghia EFI DOHC 2.0l with 300,000 on tha clock with original cam chain & can do 200km/h any day of the week with no cosworth assistance. p.s cosworths are way awesome!!
Their are indeed 2 Cossies in the world over 200mph. This one at 206.08 & the Reyland Escort at 200.2mph. I dont know anyone in Edmonton but my son does so thats probably the contact.
I don't even care if you drive the car fast. You would make a small day dream come true for me just making a film of a walk around, sound of engine rev from exhause, lift the hood and show it off and a shot of the start up/gauges sequence. I'd also love to see the pedals and inside. I live in Los Angeles where we have Lambo, Ferarri, Porsche GT, etc but something like a Tuscan, Griffith or even a Vanquish or Vantage is pretty rare site here.
The funny thing is, the RS2000 16v used the same engine that later ended up in the Ford Galaxy. Same 150hp. Depending on spec, it's either 135 or 150hp, but the 150hp version has iirc 10:1 compression, and the 8v I4 has 9.75:1
have just watched vid and that is a crazy car 850 bhp through rwd cossie must be bit lively ive been in a standard one many moons ago and that was scary!.respect
LOL guy is a fucking legend. 206 mph in an 800 hp rd car, with no seat belt, with one hand on the wheel, on wet and windy day, he s fucking driving ROBOT HIGH SPEED COSWORTH MACHINE. awesome car nice one for the upload dude
The man's got a good point, i have a 480bhp RS500 and i did have a little traffic light drag race with a lambo. I did win just but at the next set of lights it's fair to say the blokes bird was a damm sight better looking that anything i'm ever likely to get hold of.
about crankshaft i dont know too , pistons is brand new from amg , wires are from hks, hn air filters , greddy high pressure oil pan , top speed limited to 300 , suspension is almost stock only new springs from cosworth , 1.2m Cable, w/ 12, 18 & 14 pin connectors , no gauges with turbo boost, bcs illegal in estonia , wheels are Xtreme X3 *17
206.1mph and 206.0mph is very impressive but the gearing must be holding it back. I wonder if the Sierra hatch would be more aerodynamic at 200+mph than the saphire? Not many 3dr Sierra shells left in one piece though.
@jipasd It's had a new turbo since this video. And also it does have a roll cage. The cage is hidden to keep the car looking standard. But if you look inside the car you can actaually see it in there. Also its far from rusty :)
Another good point and well presented, i can't help it if most (but not all women) see an E plate Sierra with what looks like a picnic table on the boot and a drainpipe as an exhaust and assume i'm a pauper and can't afford a newer car. But i do need a car if i'm out on the pull coz the wife would go batshit if i took one home and hotels are so expensive nowdays
They sell exactly the same cars (and I mean exactly). Only the names/badges are different. However in England we used to have Vauxhall Carltons and Vauxhall Omegas. They were not the same cars but more like comparing a Peugeot 205 and a Peugeot 207. The Vauxhall Vectra replaced the Vauxhall Cavalier in much the same way. I could park a UK Vauxhall; Vectra, Cavalier, Omega and Carlton all next to each other and you will see they are all different cars.
yeah it is. how familiar with the l4 are you? i wanna know if the which version produces more compression as standard the sierra 8v l4 or the rs2000 16v?
Hi Cant believe their is still so much interest in something that happened 4 years ago. Seems to be a lot of dispute about my cars Stats. Then it had 690bhp & 150 Nitrous. The latest engine has 838bhp & 200 Nitrous. The 5th gear day was in the wet & you will notice we turned right down the runway so not its full length. In that Spec it was capable of : 0-100mph 6.9 0-150mph 12.7 0-180mph 17.8 0-200mph 24.5 Now keep it clean lads & continue the debate.
I do not read newspapers! a standard saph cossie is fast enuff. this one is a beast! you dont need to spend that amount of money, tho for a very big fast comfy car, the saph cosworth. i am correct! upto evo 6 were good cars, fast an good at rally since then, down hill. the 9 is slower than the 6 an the exact same as the 8, but with 9 instead of 8! I am always correct, my mum told me so!
thats a lot of power for any road or race car, would not want to drive it on the road too much power. but each to there own.. old fords make good driving cars!
1:08 what happened the the front Right headlight here? There's something streaming from it and the headlight housing seems to be unmounted, but then in the next shot it's perfect again. You can also see the same damage when the car is going past the camera over 200mph
I had three cosworths. One 4x4, One RWD and one Escort. And I still see the Sierra/Sapphire as a familycar (but faster). And they are not well build. Cosworth maybe did their job right but Ford did not. Well, I like it anyway. I thinking of buying a swedish rwd with 519hp. It's great to humiliate supercars with those cosworths ;)
This is my husbands car with its latest conversion. It is recorded
0-100 mph 6.9 secs
0-150 mph in 12.7 secs
0-180 mph in 17.8 secs

Annie Tarry is this car from Edmonton?
Rod the Cosworth legend....
I had the pleasure to meet him and have a cuppa talk cossies when he purchased a front bumper from me.
Sir you are and will always be a legend in the ford world.

Amazing machine - great achievement
When did he die?
That’s my day driving that
I had a Magenta Sierra Cosworth 4x4 and on the road it was one of the best cars I’ve ever driven .. no body roll and superb brakes … they have certainly increased in price since .. not as quick as this one though .. great stuff and love the flame 🔥
Planning on doing a Cosworth with Tesla motors in but only doing on a rusty wreck/rebuild/restore not touching an untouched show car....
R.i.P rod, legend.
206mph out of a 2Lt engine....fantastic!!!
❤
I love Sierra Cossie's, Especially the 3 dr ones.
My god Rod are you still alive with all that power. My 200sx is 400bhp+ and its a handfull.I had 2 sapphire cossies 2wd good cars and have followed your cars progress over the years.Well done awesome long term project and your power levels now are right up there with the best.
Jess crust that's incredible love the sierra cosworth
❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best cars ever made !! Respect cossi
Excellent! 👍😃
Got to love the blue oval and the evolution of the yb lump
love the saphire cosworth, people go who moan about the speed "ohh it only does 206mph with 850 bhp" its like a brick doing 200+ these cars hit an aerodynamic wall at about 170/180 mph.
*****
i know they hit a wall at 180 and need massive hp to push too 200 mph the 800bhp saph in the video kinda says it all buddy
Beautiful motor! 😍
How badly did I want a Saph Cosworth when they first came out... Shame most have been ragged to death now - mind you, 43 grand for a car that does that sort of speed, has 5 seats and decent boot is an absolute bargain!
Monster cosworth engine...story!!!
fair play to mark and rod. an awesome effort! i know how they feel as im obsessed with cosworths and spend an absoloute fortune on mine without even thinking about it. it is a hobby after all!
Way of life.... ❤
I think people are forgetting that this speed is reached in a comparatively short run. It is seriously quick! Other cars attended on the same day but failed to run, the Cosworth went out in bad conditions and still did the job! I don't understand the haters comments, I suspect the owner of this car spent less time on CZcams criticising others efforts than some of these....
Love it no crash helmet no roll cage old school 🇬🇧👍
A 40 grand supercar, with the practicality of a saloon car.
yeah...to me they are supercars...my dad has 2 of em...1 is a mk2 and the other is a sierra. never heard him say that any one of em broke down. they are really good.
Rod took his daughter and me to our prom in this!!
Best car + Engine *EVER* made FUCK THE HATERS you know nothing!
The figures were obtained on a test bed Dyno at Norris Designs on the 5th December 2008.
knowing rod, and knowing the car, and also knwoing a little bit about what he's done to it and the effort him and mark have put into it, unless some people have positive comments to make, you really don't have a clue as to exactly how fast this car is, rod has let the car (and sheady) do the talking more than once :)
Rest in peace Rod.
every time i click on this vid it never fails to put a smile on my face :) 1:01 when it fly`s by.. its great cossies rule

awesome car and cool that it can achieve that speed. but without a parachute, how do your brakes feel when coming down from those speeds?
Should've been competing at the wrc today. It would've been exciting to watch.
I have owned 4 Fords, 1 cortina & 3 sierras all awesomly reliable!I currently have a 90 sappphire ghia EFI DOHC 2.0l with 300,000 on tha clock with original cam chain & can do 200km/h any day of the week with no cosworth assistance. p.s cosworths are way awesome!!

@CosserBoy to the two of you the power out put varies
i want, very nice car
It's definitely proof that it can really
LOL guy is a fucking legend. 206 mph in an 800 hp rd car, with no seat belt, with one hand on the wheel, on wet and windy day, he s fucking driving ROBOT HIGH SPEED COSWORTH MACHINE. awesome car
nice one for the upload dude
thumbs up for 206mph and not losing the duct tape holding the headlights on!
I've still got the spare wing mirror in the loft. Lol. Just got left there after Rod died 😪. In Feb 14th 2018.
Ann Tarry.
that is crazy
Can't agree more mate.
well done awsemo car
no bad for a near 20 year old family saloon.cossies rock.
The man's got a good point, i have a 480bhp RS500 and i did have a little traffic light drag race with a lambo. I did win just but at the next set of lights it's fair to say the blokes bird was a damm sight better looking that anything i'm ever likely to get hold of.
Bad Ass Cossie!..
about crankshaft i dont know too , pistons is brand new from amg , wires are from hks, hn air filters , greddy high pressure oil pan , top speed limited to 300 , suspension is almost stock only new springs from cosworth , 1.2m Cable, w/ 12, 18 & 14 pin connectors , no gauges with turbo boost, bcs illegal in estonia , wheels are Xtreme X3 *17
holy shit!
206.1mph and 206.0mph is very impressive but the gearing must be holding it back.

......😱.....legend!!!super car 330kmh...
Another good point and well presented, i can't help it if most (but not all women) see an E plate Sierra with what looks like a picnic table on the boot and a drainpipe as an exhaust and assume i'm a pauper and can't afford a newer car. But i do need a car if i'm out on the pull coz the wife would go batshit if i took one home and hotels are so expensive nowdays
sierra power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can see the seatbelt shine by his neck at 34 second, and it press into his body as he leans over to look down at the left.
crazy dude, he is driving with one hand at steerwheel and without seat belts xD
incredibly quick but pretty i bet its a bumpy ride!
They sell exactly the same cars (and I mean exactly). Only the names/badges are different.
However in England we used to have Vauxhall Carltons and Vauxhall Omegas. They were not the same cars but more like comparing a Peugeot 205 and a Peugeot 207.
The Vauxhall Vectra replaced the Vauxhall Cavalier in much the same way.
I could park a UK Vauxhall; Vectra, Cavalier, Omega and Carlton all next to each other and you will see they are all different cars.
@sweet1j what does "it look harder" got to do with not wearing seatbelts?
yeah it is. how familiar with the l4 are you? i wanna know if the which version produces more compression as standard the sierra 8v l4 or the rs2000 16v?
Hi
Cant believe their is still so much interest in something that happened 4 years ago.
Seems to be a lot of dispute about my cars Stats.
Then it had 690bhp & 150 Nitrous.

0-200mph 24.5
Now keep it clean lads & continue the debate.
Wow 16 years ago upload 😂❤
Ny viivoille samantien!
I do not read newspapers!
a standard saph cossie is fast enuff. this one is a beast! you dont need to spend that amount of money, tho for a very big fast comfy car, the saph cosworth.
i am correct!
upto evo 6 were good cars, fast an good at rally since then, down hill. the 9 is slower than the 6 an the exact same as the 8, but with 9 instead of 8!
I am always correct, my mum told me so!
i love this car though. my dream car is an escort rs cossie,
thats a lot of power for any road or race car, would not want to drive it on the road too much power.
but each to there own..
old fords make good driving cars!
£43,000 bet he dont look back though
1:08 what happened the the front Right headlight here? There's something streaming from it and the headlight housing seems to be unmounted, but then in the next shot it's perfect again. You can also see the same damage when the car is going past the camera over 200mph
Awesome...how much would it cost to make 7OOhp from a cossie if I would change all at once and correctly done? What stoker kits are available? thanks
i'd be happy to own it btich!
The only engines that have the internal geometry to do 20,000 rpm are the latest F1 engines. There is no way in hell it was one of these engines.
was that the fensport corrolla at the beggining?
look at the size of that snail holy shit thats a big ass turbo haha
Just catching up on the ongoing debates on this vid and was just wondering is this thing a RWD or 4x4.
ST is engine wise and RS is body,interior wise modifications
I wonder how long the engine will do it before its giving up in a huge fireball hrhr =P
oh yes. full hooligan!!!!
Hes wearing a seatbelt, its just due to his similar colour clothes you cant really see it. But it is there!
I had three cosworths. One 4x4, One RWD and one Escort. And I still see the Sierra/Sapphire as a familycar (but faster). And they are not well build. Cosworth maybe did their job right but Ford did not. Well, I like it anyway. I thinking of buying a swedish rwd with 519hp. It's great to humiliate supercars with those cosworths ;)
It didn't look like that car had a roll cage, and the seats looked standard too! Madness...
850 HP!
@yippe naa but the gearing effects how the horsepower is applied... and used
That is my dad mark shead
Brandon Shead are the car still alive
Yes
It was up for sale but it's sold
I think you'll find its a 2 litre I4. 16v. Based on the pinto block.
Mad car Rod, but Id want harnesses instead of standard seatbelts at those speeds! haha
@Kurisuchianu89 he is wearing a seatbelt , you can see it quite clearly
Well, I love the GT500 to, the funny thing is that a Cossie will bust that ass with half of the engine volume.
