HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR PARTS : I don't think so. Your typical 94-98 UK spec 2000 Turbo engine is limited toaround 260-270hp (before you jump to tell me that the xyz version from Japanhas 280hp etc etc, remember they have 100 RON fuel over there), if you wantto go any further the cost will become exponential as you are going to findout that your turbo is too small, that your intercooler is also too smalland misplaced, and other details. In comparison, that best price/performancepoint with a large turbo Escort engine (YBT) is around 330hp, up to that youmerly change a head gasket and swap a few ancillaries (fuel pump, injectors,MAP sensor, actuator capsule, the EPROM and, optionally, the exhaust). AlsoI believe there is more parts available for the Escort, starting with theentire Ford Motorsport catalogue where you can find anything you need tobuild a gpN, gpA or WRC car if you like.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR PARTS : Hmm... Mistubishi Lancer Evolution, four world championships in a row sofar, maybe the fifth next week... Lancia did well in its time, with fourchampionships in a row too, if I recall correctly.You just felt into a trap in believeing that the cars you see on TV havesomething in common with those in the showroom. That reminds me the (oftenstupid) 205GTI owners thinking they were driving a car as close as one canget from the 205T16.So does Sapphire, Escort, EVOs, even the old Lancia Integrale had it infront. Impreza's have it at the wrong place, a hack IMO, probably the resultof an aftertought. Also, the vents on the hood are obstructed in stock trimand directing cool air at the turbo itself is not going to have any dramaticeffect on the intake air temp, if at all. HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR PARTS : GM Performance Parts to Sponsor NHRA Pro Stock Champion Warren JohnsonINDIANAPOLIS -- The team that won two Pro Stock championships and brokethe 200 mph barrier will be reunited in 2002 when Warren Johnson returns tothe red, white and blue colors of GM Performance Parts in NHRA championshipdrag racing. Johnson, a six-time NHRA champion and the most successful ProStock driver in drag racing history, will debut his new GM PerformanceParts Pontiac Grand Am at the season-opening Winternationals in Pomona,Calif., on Feb. 7, 2002. "The 2002 season will mark the 17th consecutive year that GM ServiceParts Operations has supported Warren Johnson's championship-winning team,"said Bill Fitzgerald, manager of GM Performance Parts and Vehicle Care at apress conference held today at the Performance Racing Industry trade showin Indianapolis. "Warren began his long-term relationship with GM SPO in1986 with sponsorship from the GM Performance Parts brand, and we are proudto renew this association as he starts his quest for a seventh NHRA title. HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR PARTS : "The enduring association between Warren Johnson Enterprises andGeneral Motors exemplifies the teamwork that is essential for success inboth motorsports and business," Fitzgerald added. Johnson, 58, of Buford, Ga., has driven GM products exclusivelythroughout his 26-year professional career. He introduced GM PerformanceParts -- then known as "Goodwrench Performance Parts" -- to NHRA dragracing in 1986 on his silver-and-black Oldsmobile Firenza. In its firstyear, that partnership produced three national event victories, a runner-upfinish in the championship, and Pro Stock's first 190 mph run. Johnson drove GM Performance Parts-sponsored Oldsmobiles toNHRA championships in 1993 and 1995. In April 1997 he became the first ProStock driver to exceed 200 mph with the GM Performance Parts logo on thedoors of his record-setting Pontiac Firebird. Johnson won 32 of his record87 career victories with primary sponsorship from GM Performance Parts. Hedonned the familiar silver and black colors of GM Goodwrench Service Plusin June 1997, capturing three more Pro Stock crowns in 1998, 1999 and 2001. HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR PARTS : "This is a perfect fit for both parties," said Johnson, who is knownas the "Professor of Pro Stock" for his analytical approach to racing. "Iuse the same components in my Pontiac race car that are available to racersand performance enthusiasts through GM Performance Parts authorizeddealers." Johnson was instrumental in the design and development of GM'soriginal Drag Race Competition Engine (DRCE) in 1983. After nearly twodecades and dozens of updates, the DRCE remains the foundation of GM's ProStock engine program. Johnson relies on the same block and cylinder headcastings that are listed in the GM Performance Parts catalog, along withACDelco spark plugs, oil filters and batteries. "I know that I can count on GM Performance Parts to make the horsepowerit takes to win in this intensely competitive category," said Johnson, whowas voted "Engine Builder of the Year" on the 2001 All-Star Drag RacingTeam.
