Default going jap

i had a go at selling my saff no luck, wanted to go for the evo mr fq 300, spend a couple of grand namely turbo and software and youv'e got 370 horsies, but some one told me if i sell my cossie and it goes i'll end up getting another one and doing all over again, love the fords but just felt like owning a newer car, like you i think there is nothing from ford or even in the pipeline from them that replaces a cossie.

If stuck in between,get one of each
the evo is alot more refined to drive and handling is second to none,and in standard form 300 horse,s is enough to give most mildly tuned cossies a good run.
but its just not got the street cred of the cossie yet
but i would,nt be without the cossie either

A WR1 better looking than an Evo 8 or 9? You're having a laugh aren't you?
