1200 HP and street legal ? Nuts !
The 3000 GT looks awesome - classic.

And only Capri models, eh ? No Ford Sierra Cosworth ( great car, unfortunately it was not available in the US ) , or Ford Taunus ( not to be confused with Taurus ) , the Cortina or other Taunus models also limited to only those across the pond from us ... ? Not a pretty car ( the Taunus ) but they were all over the place when I was a kid ..

there were more Cosworths than you could shake a stick at,

 

3 or 4 RS500's, the BTCC car that Andy Rouse drove, a 500BHP Mondeo, 

 

at least 10 RS Escorts, and loads of Turbos, some RS1600i 

 

MK 1 Escort Mexico 1800 BDA up for sale at £55,000 

 

but the best in show 3 968's,

 

Mine = Coupe

Pieters 968 Clubsport, Guards Red

and a 968 Sport In super shiny black

 

who cares about fast fords, I have owned loads over the years, Sapphire XR4x4, Moonstone Sierra, 4 different Capri's, 4 Escorts (not the female versions)

 

this is like mine, I owned it before 1990, all the old pictures are in storage somewhere
