Thumbs up Whats quicker Birleys Cosworth or HMSA Historic Ford Thundersaloon

We wonder how quick Rod Birleys lovelly WRC Ford Escort RS Cosworth is against one of the Awesome Historic Thundersaloon Zakspeed Ford Capris or Mighty Special Saloon Escorts of the 1970s/80s.


Post your Bets now as to what car is the quickest around circuits like Brands Hatch Indy.

The original zackspeed capris weighed 680kg and had 700+bhp at their peak,and the times they did werent far off the formula 1 cars of the era,would be good to see.

Default Rod Birleys RS Escort v Historic Ford Thundersaloon

I think Rod Birleys car laps Brands Hatch Indy circuit in about the 50/51 second mark which is enough to be in front of many modified saloons such as Steve Weatherley,Ron Kiddell etc.
But if his RS went head to head with any of those awesome Historic Thundersaloons it might be a different story.
I wonder what the Zakspeed and Boss Fords are capable of on the Indy circuit.
