AWESOME 12 second 1/4 Merkur 4 cylinder

[kismo94]

12 secs is crap a top fuel dragster could do a mile in that time

[crollic]

@kismo94 Fail troll is fail.

[kismo94]

@crollic ?

[crollic]

@kismo94 You're either a troll or an idiot.

[chrstphrharp1]

@kismo94 yea.........but not on less than a pint of fuel

[kismo94]

@chrstphrharp1 you dont grag race to test fuel economy, dick shit, you drag race to get the best 1/4 mile time possible :L

[beluga420]

@kismo94 You don't compare a dragster to a 4 banger, dick shit.

[kismo94]

@beluga420 drag racing is drag racing, the faster the better,

[beluga420]

@kismo94 you sir are a complete moron with full of ignorance and you know nothing about cars

[ZQPYU]

Damn, that light was close, Really close.

[HostageKiller]

Was it going against a Turbocoupe or a Mark VII?

[Jules2950]

Red light

[SupraCelica98]

that song ruined the video for me

[blakiexcharles]

my goal is to get my bug at 12 seconds :)

[GM572]

duuuude...that car is a boner on wheels....AWESOME! MERKUR XR4TI RULlZ!

[patrickaoleary]

Nice, fast Merkur. Little "oops" on the false start, though. I take it the turbo is non-stock? What about the engine control computer?

[tooshort2007]

This car belongs to my good friend and Mechanic. There is nothing stock about the motor. He is a machinist so it has all the goodies done to it .He has a new turbo waiting for it . Its the biggest one you can get for it. It will be in the high 10z low 11z. Thanks for your comment

[qmiler88]

Looks like a stock turbocoupe intercooler up top. What does he have done? Fuel? Computer? Shortblock? Thats not a stock T9 is it?

[merkur423]

@tooshort2007 its a very good run you made with and old single cam motor i have a merkur its a pleasure to run it on the floor

[aravikipita]

this car is the europian Ford sierra mk1....didn't know they sold in the the states...what do people think about it over there?

[qmiler88]

they are great cars, but never came with a dohc which was a disappointment. I have an 85 xr4ti and it is clean, the germans knew how to paint because the finish still shines to this day.

[bigcamracing]

If it was a Sierra it would have the single rear quarter window but if you look at the car as it sits on the ramp truck it clearly shows the split quarter window that was sold in the states...

[qmiler88]

yup which makes it a xr4ti, I have seen people cut the split panel and install the coswroth window in place. Really is preference.

[aravikipita]

you can put a 2.0 cosworth engine on it..it will be vedy vedy fast :P

[skifeizzle]

wrong, the sierra xr4ti had the split windows :P

[DeplorableCognizance]

Wrong again, The Sierra Cosworth had the split windows :P

[ZQPYU]

The Sierra Cosworth and Cosworth RS had single rear side windows as did the Sierra. Only the North American (US and Canada) versions called the XR4TI came with two side (split) windows.

[TPena92]

@DeplorableCognizance Sierra Cosworth did not come split windows...why do you think when some ppl wanna turn there merkur in a clone cossy they cut the split out and put a real single full window?...

[blvdcruiser]

was that car a c4 or t5?

[skifeizzle]

neither of those transmissions came in the xr4ti

they came with a c5 or t-9

[blvdcruiser]

the automatic is a c3 not a c5

[bigcamracing]

I thought it had a C3.

[sAINT898]

next time don't put such a homo song on the video, it would be better if i could actually hear the car

[tooshort2007]

Thank you for the comment. If you cant say anything nice about it STF Up .Thank you and have a great day...

[jiggaman795]
