I know a few of you will say nothing, as its your dream car, bla, bla, bla, lol.

But if you was to replace it, what would you get and why? Im not looking for idea's, just intrested in what other cossie owners taste in cars are.

I had a lotus exige before mine and on my short list was a Lancia delta integrale evo and a Renault clio V6.

 

I'd have another Evo straight away!!!!Best car ive ever owned...why did i sell it

But would also like to try :

Clio V6
Lotus Exige ( Mk1 )
22B Scooby
M3 CSL

Thats about it for now LOL

 

I went to a evo 9. Is a better all round car. but then it would be its about 12 yrs newer......

But the escort does feel more special

 

i would go for a mb 190e evo 1, or a mb 500e
or if the money werent a subject..i would go for a bmw m3 csl, or a mitsubishi evo 6

 

One car... Plymouth Hemi Cuda 440 1970

 

you redneck

 

Evo6 or maybe a RS4.

 

Aston Martin DB5

 

Lancer Evo IX GSR Ultimate

 

RS4 and M3 csl are both awsome cars.

Id have to have the RS4, best all round car in ther world!

 

im going for an rs focus in the next couple of weeks so itll do me till the new one arrives itll be a lot more usable and refined and the wife will be able to drive it also [occasionally]

 

I already have the Porsche which was second on my list, so I guess it would be the Ferrari F355, which is 3rd on my list......

 

is that a 911 turbo?

 

there is a ruf for sale on ebay, nice motor

 

In no particular order:
Evo 9 FQ 360MR.
M3 CSL.
RS4.
Nissan GTR.

 

for me, its got to be a m5 or an rs4 convertible.

 

for a hummer h1 or h2 with blower or rs6 V8 turbo

 

the only thing that id sell my cossie for would be when the wife and 2 kids bla bla bla come along allready have owned all the jap crap sti, evo, skyline etc etc.. the escos is by far and away the best ive had and no other car would replace it

 

Px'd mine for a 3 door then sold that and went back to my integra type-r

 

Dont you swear on this site...

banish him for talking about jap cars lol

 

Been thinking about selling both the escort and the focus to get the new skyline gtr, also like audi r8, rs4 / 6, just dont know if i could part with my escort as i wouldnt be able to find another like it if i sold it and i wanted it back

 

If mine ever does go, i would replace it with a cheaper Escos or a nice 3 door or even a saph, but deffo something cheaper so ive havent got as much money tied up in a track car.

 

i havent owned an escort but if i were to replace the saff.its escort,evo6,for the sporty stuff then rs4avant,m5 for comfy or yank tanks the new dodge challenger or old skool mustang

 

Noble M12 GTO

 

It wud have to be a Aston DBS for me
or the GT-R....

 

I sold mine for a Focus RS, sold that 4 moths later. Evo 8 MR FQ320 would be my chioce with a few mods to 380-400bhp

 

knowing me, probably another escos...........

 

in Order

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640

Porsche 911 GT3

Audi R8 V10 TT

Nissan GT-R35

 

Ultima GTR with the 6.3 720BHP engine, 0-100-0 MPH in 9.3 secs , 1 sec faster than a veyron, and about 50k

 

Not really a replacement, but cars I'd like to own
In no particular order
Porsche GT3 (996)
Gallardo
Focus RS
Fiesta mk1 Cossied
Genuine BTCC touring car, pref mondeo, but any will do!!

 

A 997 GT3 RS would keep me amused. Having spent the weekend thrashing one around a track in France, I would be quite happy with just this car and no others.

 

Tbh. It would just be something like:

Focus ST3
Audi A4 Convertable

or poss a TVR Cerbra if i was having a mad five mins !..lol.

But tbh its my hobbie and has been for years now, I would rather it sat in the garage and was not used , than sell her.

 

i went from an evo 6 to the escos, then 5 doors and sensible(ish) made me go the focus ST route, tbh, its a quicker car than the escos ever was in the real world with the amount of torque and NO turbo lag - the only thing i miss is the 4x4 system, having my last 3 cars over 8 years being 4x4s, you do get used to it.

 

as Mike choose:

- 997 GT3 (RS)
- E46 M3 CSL (not the normal version)
- Nissan GT-R

 

tbh, these cars that everyone is choosing aren't really the same league - admitidly, if money was no object then yes they make sense, but in reality, what do you get for your 15K when you've sold your escos....?

 

Oh I thought we were stating realistic replacements, but loooking at some peoples choices..... lol
In that case a Carrera GT

 

Would have to be German, with 2 turbo's.....
So either RS4, or a 996T

 

Has to be said Focus ST's are FANTASTIC cars, first new car I have been impressed with for a long time, great all round cars, but as you say the ONLY thing letting them down is poxy FWD .... Bit of an own goal there when they have the chance to take on subaru and mitsubishi.

Agree with the prices people are looking at, bit of a different game really but I always find people tend to spend more on thier next car, so anything upto 30k is fair game really. My Escos will be going nowhere though, can't see me ever selling it

 

Lotus Carlton for me.
