Escort Cosworth is as standard, 0-60 in 5.7, 1/4 mile in 14.8 or 15.2 (depending on s1 or s2 model) and 138mph top speed.
Mine is approx 6.0secs 0-60, low 14's 1/4 mile and 160mph top speed. 
How to make a tit of yourself by Patrick...........
You say the above then your Sig says this:
Astra Coupé - 2.0 16v Turbo - 240bhp & 270lb/ft - 0-60mph in 6.0secs - 1/4 mile in 14.701 @ 96mph
14.7 isnt low 14's

I have had more engine work since I clocked that time. Also that time was acheived with loads of wheelspin off the launch, I was running crap tyres so lost a fair ammount of time from the start.
Next Santa Pod visit I'll have a lot more traction and more power. Low 14's yes.
