Nice! The standard RS200 is capable of 0-60 in 3.07 seconds. The evolution (from the link) is rated at under 2.5 seconds (can't remember exactly). This car will sell for over $100,000 I bet. There are many euro fords I lust over. They used to sell a magazine at barnes and noble from the UK called "performance ford". It was filled with Cosworth Sierras, XR4X4s, Escorts, RS turbo fiestas (not festiva)... We got shafted this side of the pond for sure.
yep, all the best cars ford ever made, we were not aloud to have.... thats one of my dream cars right there. fastest car from 0-60 for a decade....
I autocrossed once with a guy in a cosworth escort once, got to ride around in it. awesome car. It was a white one.
Mark Utecht needs to get that, put an Escort VIN and title on it, and race it. I mean it is RS200 #83... I almost purchased a Sierra Cosworth before I ended up with my turbo RS. In fact I had offered up the money before the guy decided not to sell the car. IIRC it was set to GpA spec so I was going to put Escort badges on it, take the wing off, and own a serious sleeper. If he ever offers up that car again I'd go in debt to pick it up. EDIT: I just realized this place is near my office. Figures, there are so many nice cars down here in the summer that my car actually feels a little slow.
I remember that, 2006/MOWOG8... http://www.superawesome.net/v/05autox/05mowog8/?g2_page=16. Apparently, it was imported from Germany, so the steering wheel was on the right side, er left side, oh whatever. Stuart.
Yep. It's actually on the approved list for importation. You know, the list that the JDM STis and Skyline R-33 and R34 can't get on to. Stuart.
not to whore my car but seems like a good thread to do it in. =) I've had this car for 5-6 years. Its got a really cool past. It used to be driven on the streets of London! I just ordered the final european cosworth body parts (omfg expensive) to finish my car so that it can get painted this winter. I have 2-3 more autox's (including this weekend) and then its back on jack stands for the winter. I can't wait to get the thing painted. I am still rocking the 2.3T but am throwing the idea around about a cosworth YB engine (around $4k-5k) instead of going with a bigger turbo on the 2.3T. And now some sierra cosworth porn (those compomotive ford wheels are what I want for my car.)
sweet, so that car in the first pic is yours? I got a really awesome pic of it sliding through the corners at midway.
I am so glad I'll never have the money to buy cars just to stick them in a room and wax them once a month. HAY GUYS!!!!! LOOK AT THE CAR I BOUGHT TO NOT DRIVE!!!!! WOWIEEE
^ that why you need the money to be able to buy those cars and trash them. hey check out this 150k car i bought then jumped into a building for fun! then watch people cringe
Hmmm, with 5hrs of driving under its belt, it's already half way to needing its first engine overhaul. Stuart.
