Default Will people always go back to Cosworths

Was talking to a mate today and got onto the subject of cars

I said that i would only sell the 3DR and my family estate to buy an Audi RS6 Estate.

But my mate said that i would get another cossie after a while though....................and i think he was right

I cant see myself without a Cosworth.

I know people who have bought EVO's, Skylines etc and they have all gone back with the Ford. Must be something about them

Been there done that!!! Paid the price!!!

Tell me something that has more power than my 500 and has the awe factor and heritage to boot....... then tell me how much money I would need to find on top of the money my Cossie owes me.

If I had Ł100k I wouldnt be messing around with nasty Cossies!!! lol I would be driving a proper porka or a Ferrari!

For me to be tempted in bining the weekend passion wagon, I would need something a bit more special then an RS6!! Nothing beats that "up ya arse" on-boost feeling of a Cossie. RS6 would be fine for your normal use car, but as a summer fun car................ nah!

I'd much rather have a rarri 308/328/288GTO or F40 (dream on ) over a cossie.

who needs to go fast in a ferrari? its not all about speed!

Cosworth Technology, rather than Cosworth Racing, thats still Ford, and thats the part that makes the mental stuff

The 4.2 litre V8 twin turbo engine of the RS6 produces an output of 450 hp in the standard version. The 475 hp racing engine of the RS6 has been developed in cooperation with Cosworth Technologies in the UK.
