Fine i think you all aree giving great examples when comparing escort cossie to jap cars but please take into account the cost factor. Value for money. you can have a nice big turbo escort for between 10 - 15k than spend another 2k to make it a good stage 3 car, which can handle.

I wonder what a evo would cost to get it to the same power to weight ratio as a escos with the above spec.
