how do these cars stand up against each other in standard form- i love my frst but never looked about the escorts spec, all i know is the 0-60 on the frst is 7.7 + 133mph max. however the escort did not interest me when i was thinking about the turbo market 4 years ago.

 

Don't know about FRST but the Series 1 is 0.1sec quicker to 60mph than a Series 2 according to some stats I saw published onceŹ!

Don't know how much truth there is in that mind! lol

 

real world, there's nothing in it

 

Fiesta:

Performance
Maximum speed 132mph (211km/h)
0-60 mph 7,9s
0-100 mph 20,2s
1/4 mile 16,1s

Series 1:

Performance
Max speed: 131 mph
0-60 mph: 7.9 sec

Series 2:

Performance
Top Speed: 125mph
0-60: 8.1s
Engine Pwr :132bhp @6000


- Fiesta.

 

Got those from the net, so whether or not they are true is neither here nor there.

Fiesta stats are from the RSOC, as are the series one. Series 2 is from another website, thus may not be factual.

 

As above, the difference is minimal. I would suspect the S2 would be the slowest as I suspect it's the heaviest whereas the Fiesta will probably be the lightest. It all comes down to power to weight ratio seeing as the engines are the same.
