Just been offered a 2.5l V6 24v mondeo on an m reg.

My question is ..........would this be any good for track use?

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of such a machine and it's abilities.

Ask Nige :lol:

160 something bhp as a minimum, quite toquey and a nice road set up. Never driven one in anger on the track but they make a cheap car to run and certainly cheap to prepare for circuit use. Just don't expect something super fast in a straight line

is it something like this?

they are a very good car that pulls well its has alot of low down grunt because of the quad valves.
as stu says its got 160 - 170 bhp.
but in its favour it is a light car compared to nower days about 1350kgs
arodynaicly this model follows the old principles of the sierra it replaced
cutting thru the air smoothley.

i would be more inclined to get the st24 its got about 180bhp

Go for it Nik, you know you want to

Same prinsible as me with the Vectra, if its cheap enough its worth a go and a bit of fun, with not a lot of money to loose,
And as Stuart said easily enough to lighten it, I should know the rear seats weighed a bloody ton when I took them out. :x

Well for

Leather seat set sold on would probably pay for the complete car - go for it.

Strip it down and it will go a treat - they were supposed to be well sorted handling wise.

Well surprise surprise, I brought it home with me .

It goes really well. The engine is a bit tappy but I am sure that can be sorted. Apart from that and a crack across the screen, and of course the odd little bit of rust, it is really tidy.

4 good tyres, newish brake pads, Oil and filter recently changed.

I ended up paying

well done mate bargin 8)
