Absolutely nothing!!!
After owning a Sierra XR4x4 2.9i V6,which I was VERY reluctant to get rid of, I spotted this rare Sierra for the bargain price of £2000.Most people were unaware of the shear power that this car had under the bonnet - A big estate car that topped out at 160mph.It was very amusing to pull along side a cocky boy racer in his 1.6i Escort Cabriolet at traffic lights and then leaving him amazed in a huge cloud of smoke as I shot into the distance. This is a car NOT to be messed with. Although the high fuel consumption left my wallet empty most of the time, I really couldn't complain about my beloved Sierra Estate. On several occasions I was confronted by rude boys in their laughable 1.2 Nova's and Clio's and had the great opportunity of leaving them in shame as I roared off into the distance in my 2.9i Twin-Turbo beauty. It was fun to show up nearly all cars (including a Subaru Impreza!) with what they thought was a standard nasty Sierra, but I had the last laugh, each and every time. Sierra Estates horrible?Think again, friends!Find one of these mean machines and you're sure to be the king!
Should be compulsory for all boy racers to be left in the dust by one of these. Mine is only the 'standard' 2.9i, but great fun to see their faces disappearing in the mirror. Sadly its about to go as can no longer afford the constant refuelling stops, but had four years of fun, great car to drive. If funds permit would have another without hesitation.
Sounds good, what sort of power does it put out from a 2.9 twin turbo? Why arnt these siera's more well known? Must be quiker than the cossie!
