    That video didn't show anything but a riced out Euro.

    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.

    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

    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. 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......................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.

    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)

    Mmmm...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.

    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.

    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...





    Also, i have seen where someone swapped one of the 2.0L motors into a Miata in the UK
