i would say nova as it is smaller and alot lighter
The Nova definately prob a bit more power and lighter too

Nova of course. I know this is a nova site but i would have thought the 1.3sr would be faster any way never mind with a webber on.
well me m8s got an escort an reackons his is faster cus it a more modern engine. I waan "novatake" him
lol, Ford Escort 'Modern'
1.3 aint that still the old 1.3 x-flow? Even in a MK5, that engine was in the MK1 Escort in a slightly different guise. In fact with more power id bet cause it didnt have to conform to emission regs.
hi
a few Mk3 Escorts had a 1300 cvh afaik but then again - theyre shit too... lol
and as for the HCS or whatever they call it now beig modern - LMFAO
Nova easily would win that - unless its dead.....

Even then I thinkit could be close.

lol i bought a mk3 1300 escort once after writing of the previous car, found out 3 months later it had a 1600 XR3 engine in it and had no bolts in the mounts :lol: :lol: :lol:
I love gravity!

thats like a story i heard from years and years ago when our local ford dealership sold a secondhand "1600" ford Capri to a guy. he came back a month later complaining about how it was too fast for him...........it was a 2.8 :roll: :o :D

You will KILL a 1.3 escort. I had a friend who had the same car and by 80 i was nearly 10 car lengths ahead!
Consequently she now has an XR3i cab but thats only the same acceleration as my standard 1.4SR, well fractionally faster in third...
