A 2800 lbs car with 800 whp should run low to mid 9's with a good launch and trap right around 150 in the quarter. Obviously this car was seriously impeded by a lack of traction (old tire tech plus wet, unprepared surface), and the excess weight of the drivers massive balls.
That is so nice to see. I Have a 770hp Sierra but I would not try to go to 300kph. 331kph is so fast. I am so impressed to see that Sierra is able to go so fast with more or less OEM trim. Respect to the builder and even more to the driver 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 FANTASTIC!!!

Reading some of the painful comments made me laugh. This was recorded 20 years ago and very few super cars could just about hit 200 mph. RUF CTR F40 ect. This was a big achievement. £46.000 was good value for 200mph. Today you can buy 2nd hand RS4 and RS6 spend around £10.000 and you can do 200 mph no problem. 21 years ago this was not an option. Please kids stop taking shit and do some research before my sides split from laughter. I know people who spend thousands of pounds on tuning Porsche and Ferraris and still could not break 200 mph back in the 90s and early 2000s. Back in those days when doing 180mph plus cars popped banged vibrated shaking and made some scary noises. I was lucky enough to have lived in Germany at the time so made full use of the autobahn.

For anyone interested this car still has a current MOT until 15/12/2021 and is taxed until 02/2022. So cool this thing is still on UK roads!

Thats the noise of the car laughing 😃
He's in the Evos now

I have a sierra too, although mine can't reach even 100mph it's still the best car I've ever driven lol
Same
Are you joking? I got 121 mph in my 1.8 CVH standard.
I agree though. That was perhaps the most comfortable car I've driven. I need it again.
I wouldn't have the guts to take that to 150 let alone 206!!! Mental...
