Below is wrong, friend of mine has a mk2 frs with 440bhp and eibach springs and 20mm spacers
Handles better and pulls out of corners better, seems like the standard 300bhp hardly gets the diff working, trust me because I've got a standard one
Let some one come down some back roads near me on their 400+ hp 4wd or rwd cossies and watch me leave them for dead in a standard mk2 frs

in my opinion FWD for performance is only good in small light cars that have a good power to weight with >200 bhp.
Now days if you want a proper sprots car you can t buy a ford
too bad cause they tought us what a proper cheap rocket car is with the sierra cossie and the mk1 and 2 escorts where is that linage now ??? They used to do even mondeos in 4x4 and the sierra was a bit late still having rwd but now they DON T OFFER ANYTHI|NG LIKE THAT ANYMORE
