Group B cars are rally cars, the Cosworth Escort was ahead of Group B if I am not mistaken. A Group B car would hand an Evo it's ass and probably ACTUALLY be able to do circles around an Evo accelerating. The cars were RIDICULOUS and banned because of the dangers with them from crowd control and other issues.

The Cosworth will kill an Evo as well, ESPECIALLY A WRX, I would take either of the two over an Evo ANY day.

People these days :( Know your roots

[Mayniac]

Lol. Dead even with an Impreza. That video doesn't prove jack! Well it doesn one thing, car is ugly as sin.

ur right, but i think the cossie was after the group B era.. because the escort, was in the WRC..and did very very very well!

[Elbow]

I think those Escorts are def. one of the best looking cars of that time. A lot better looking then the Subie. Unique. And if they went head to head without the sliding I would bet the Escort would win. But hey those guys put on a hell of a show with their driving :goodjob:

That's what I meant was the Escorts came after Group B was over.

[Mayniac]

But hey those guys put on a hell of a show with their driving :goodjob:Yes they did.

[Mayniac]

Rare indeed.

What kind of motor does that quick ford have?

[JITB]

its a 2.0 with cosworth spirits...

[RUFFIAN]

It may be quick, but show me a video of any Evo killing.

That video didn't show anything but a riced out Euro.How ignorant. The aero styles you see on these cars is fully functional and that car was around before there was such a thing as "riced out" on a car.:rolleyes: you might want to read up on this particular car. 300 hp all wheel drive boosted dohc 2.0 back in the EIGHTIES. These cars were the reason there is a car like an EVO.:2cents:.....................I tell you what, Check out the vid i posted of the 4 dr sierra in the vids. IT goes 206 mph. there are a few guys on here the are putting down comparble HP. lets see you top it.:D

I don't care how the cars perform. Those are the ugliest cars I've laid eyes on in a while.

:no:

[Doppelgänger]

no love for the Sierra Cosworth? :(

I'll have to find the vid, but i found some guys with highly tuned Escort Cosworths doing launches on a runway..... IIRC, the 0-60 on some of the well modd'ed cars were doing 0-60 in sub-3 second times. (2.6 ish)

[Elbow]

Sierra Cosworths have my love too

http://www.preromanbritain.com/gwem/martbean/rs200/rs200cc2.jpgMmmm...Ford RS200, 4 cylinder putting out 450hp AWD & 2,300lbs with a 0-60 time of 2.1 to 2.8 seconds, depending on the gearing used. :yumyum:

It may look like a Geo Metro, Fiero, and Avanti had an orgy and produced it but who cares...the car was built for function.

There are actually about 10 of them in the U.S. I tried to buy one about 2 years ago before I started racing cars....

They are really cool.

Nah you can pick them up for under 100k if find a deal, the one I was looking at went for 96k I think.

[Doppelgänger]

The RS500 is the Sierra Cosworth silly, see the title :slap:
Now im confused. I know the Escort was a 2-dr/hatch
When i saw the title "RS500" i was actually picturing the RS200. But then i went and looked up the RS500, but it was a 2 door also.

When i said Sierra, i was meaning the 4-door...
