[futameca]

Cool. Is that the sound of no traction control? :lol:

Pretty quick.

 

[lt4abe]

That was with traction control on actually....

Hey, thanks for posting that link!

 

[andjayik]

stock exhaust? Sounds like a custom exhaust?

 

[lt4abe]

Ha.I wish it had a custom exhaust....unfortunately no.Sounds like a sewing machine to me most of the time. Fiance (i know i know) will not go for the exhaust system. I wish Corsa would make a system though....no drone and pretty tame when your not into the throttle...

here you go buddy , welcome :welcome:

Lets take it one step further...

You probably should be more careful and not do that kind of engine revving while your engine is cold.

Duplicate video. Ya noticed engine was cold too.

 

[RobtRoma]

Duplicate video...

I know... I just thought it would be nice to have it embedded into the thread instead of just a link.

I didn't notice the engine was cold the 1st time I watched it. I'd have to agree that racing the engine like that with a cold engine is not a good idea...

 

[lt4abe]

Haha. You guys are something else....gee thanks Mom for warning me about reving the engine when its not up to full operating temp.....its not an M3...HA

Go ahead and hammer that baby! :hyst:

But the engine was developed by Porsche and Cosworth. Pfft, M3. :roll:

Wasn't the original design by Porsche and Cosworth a 2.0L Zetec. The engines that are 2.3 and 2.5L of a Mazda modified design using the 2.0L? I remember reading something about that on another site. The determining detail is Zetec is Porsche, and the Durtec is Ford/Mazda. Or something like that... :shrug: (If I find that reference I'll post a link to it.)

The 2.5 L Duratec was based on a Porsche/Cosworth design. They bored that out to 3.0 L and we got our Escape.
