Various models of the BTCC Mondeos are or have been for sale over on www.racecarsdirect.com. Just scan through the pages and you will find the blue ones and the yellow Rapid Fit ones for sale priced from 30 000 british pounds up to about 60 or 70 000 pounds (for the Rapid Fit ones at one point). I would love to make one of those my track car and retire my SVT from track duty. Oh well maybe some day. BTW the Zetec badges signify that the engine is a 2 litre 24V V6 Zetec. I think it was a marketing thing over there and the fact that the engines had to be 2 litres or less. Regardless those cars were THE fastest BTCC cars of their time. They put out about 300 - 320 HP..... all motor and they weighed around 2200 lbs i think.. Cheers Fern

Touring car and rally races are the only type of racing I can even stand to watch.
I mean, take a standard car and modify the hell out of it and race it. I mean, these things still have turn signals and brake lights.
Nascar and stuff... BORING! Let's take the same V8 and stick it into the same chassis and put a slightly different fiberglass body on it. I'm sorry, but if a Taurus or Monte Carlo didn't come factory with a V8 and RWD (not to mention 2 doors on 4 door only cars), then I don't think they should be racing it in that config. It's just stupid to me, but I guess it makes it a real driver's sport on its plus side.

Alain Menu braking for Druids Bend is the sh!t! Or is he WOT in Clark Curve? either way, an awesome marketing picture!
