i had a 75 Vega Cosworth. Black-n-Gold i should have never sold it, damnit. i kick myself everytime i see a Vega. it still had the DOHC 4 banger stock down to the shifter, and chrome header. it would smoke V8's off the line, and leave the weaker ones behind. it would FLY around corners like it was going straigth. i never got a change to race a Mustang. man that car was Stella
That brings back some memories. My cousin had a vega wagon with a 350, Holly Quad carb. Hooker headers the whole package.
When tuned right it could pull an 8" wheelie.
What's hilarious was it had 0-100mph on the factory speedo! I painted it bright Canary Yellow for him. ~lol Too it was pre-video camera days( at least cheap ones).
come on bud make another video of the same car but this time push it lol u were driven like a granny no affense o n buy the way what was yer time on the strip
the main problem with the original 4 cyl was the block and cylinders were aluminum, over heat , antifreeze into the bores , ruined engine, we steel sleeved them all the time and then they would run forever!
This is the third one I've owned, and the only problems I ever had were oil consumption with the original 4 cyl. The only plastic gears in the tranny were for the speedometer.

I heard about the stock ones back in the day having plastic gears in the tranny. My dad's also caught fire they were junk.
