So how far behind would either a esco or saffy 4x4 be running the same power figures tyres uprated suspension etc on the track?

 

The Scoob would win hands down. The chassis is simply far far better out the box.

 

but what sort of diffrence would the be secounds say round brands?
or one of them rs500 track cars from the 80s

 

But then it also comes down to the driver as well, a crap driver in the Scooby and a good driver in the Cos would be a different story,

Mike

 

The RS Turbo would leave it for dead though.

 

what about a far driver in the scooby and a good driver with some track experiance in the cossie how close

 

Don't be a smart arse Rod, we all know if you can't do 200mph you're not worthy of having an opinion

 

i suppose i can live with being beaten round brands when i get my cossie just who would be having more fun
Id rather be sideways

 

 

I guess it would also depend on which subaru. Some of the STiV Type RA's have boxes designed for track work, which means nice short shifts etc.

This could make it seem like it had more power as well as better handling.

what if the scooby driver had 1 arm and an eye patch and the saph driver had a 5" back box and sunglasses?

 

 

can see sum arguments in this thread

 

well there is a vid on here some where, where a Saph is holding an Evo around the track for a number of laps until they both pit

 

The Evo did look th equicker car though. Had the Evo been the one in front I'm not sure it would have been as close

 

Think about it this way, an escort is designed in 91` and are based on an sierra, an evo or subaru are from mid 90`s, so if the evo and subaru`s aren`t quicker then there is something wrong

 

with track daying its pretty impossible to tell who will be quicker, driver makes a BIG difference

for instance michael schumacher would be quicker round a track in a standard focus 2.0 than wot a mere mortal would be in a 300bhp cossie so thats over double the power + 4wd and schu would still be quicker

 

first impreza came out in late 92 i think might be 93 so not a big gap but like u said escos does have the sierra base, think if Ford had put a bit more thought into it they could have made a better base instead of using the sierra 1.

 

i have seen a vid where a fookin exige stays with a veyron around a track TBH the driver made all the difference there

if you took the good driver and cloned him, placed each one of him in each of the cars I have mentioned and we all know what would be quicker

 

Thats debateable. The gap between the cossie and the evo was increasing on the straights. Nothing in it on the corners though. Mind, if the cossie had lost anymore oil it would have seized

 

This makes a pleasant change for the topice to be "nice and easy"

Lets keep it that way Pls guys.


Now, as to whats quicker with what mods,there was a black sti at Castle Coombe last year on the track at the same time as Porkie,if i remenber correctly the sti had about 360BHP and im not sure about porkies Lotus exige(sp) but it made good viewing,i do think ,even though i am completely non biased on this one,the sti had the advantage.

I have pics somewhere, if i have them i will post a few up.

 

i love cossies but a scooby will eat any cossie for brekky

 

dunno why but.. LMAO

 

Well said

 

About the RS500's which were track preped... I'd like to see pretty much anything keep up with one of them on track proper cars.

 

not sure what cozzie's you are on about

 

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 Ł15k 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.

 

 

What a dick
