Default Max Power - Escort Cosworth V Focus RS

Anyone else read this yet? I was surprised the Focus came out on top, which I wasn't expecting. They still managed to fuck up and say the FRS has got a six-speed box though

Just better built, though that shouldn't surprise anyone. But they were comparing both cars as they left the factory.

I read this, bought the mag just for that article. I thought it was a good comparison. Ive driven a standard escos, and own an frs. the focus is a much more capable car on everyday roads.

gotta agree with the review, in fact i was suprised they still rated the cossie so highly. a standard escort cossie is so slow!
focus rs has better handling even though its fwd, much better steering, and much better response. but then again the focus is a much newer car so techno advances rule over that.
