Also, just because you own an expensive old ford, and lets me honest you have to have some serious wonga to buy a 15 year old for £15k and then decided to stick an 8k engine in it. It doesn't really mean you have the ability to drive well. How many people track their cossie's also? only a few. Most put 'bling' on them and maintain they are 600hp. Realistically a 360 hp Sti vs a 360hp Escos with standard suspension etc. The STi will rape its little panties... I dare say you stick any car with the right driver and it will outperform a 'performance' car with some toff driving it.

Perfect example is the video of the cossie and the evo, sorry but that evo if driven by some cunt would have floored the cossie everywhere. Its all about driving ability.
