if you actually have been in a 225bhp escort cosworth and a 212bhp Frs you would honestly
pick the FRS allday due to the much more direct steering, sharper handling and much more responsive engine! i drove several escort cossies and unless they have 350bhp + they are slow in comparison to modern day hatch.
