If you must buy an RS, at least make it a proper one
Why Ford called the "S2" an "RS", I will never know..

Cheapens the rest of the range
Can anyone name any motorsport that the S2 competed in???
They should have stopped with the S1, a PROPER classic...!!
IMO

s2 rs is more of an rs than the rs2000 mk 5 escort! and the rs1800 festa and rs turbo festa! so dont pick on the s2!

.......
anyway! why everyone is saying the gsi goes like shit of a shovel for i dont know! book power figures are like 160-170bhp! in a heavey car!
i use my s2 everyday! nothing wrong with it! well till about 14weeks ago when i blew a blade off the turbo! but that was due to a problem! the turbo was under 11months old!

and it still aint on the road yet! hopefully start of next month!
