Just wanted to see how three cars with the same power compared to each other. Hopefully to see how they compare with regards to accelaration/quickness/speed etc.. And just on the normal roads (not track). The cars with uprated suspension and all running 350bhp.

The cars.

1. Escort Cosworth.
2. Mitsibushi Evo 6/7/8.
3. Nissan Skyline R33 GTR.

The comparisons.

a. Straight line.
b. Off the line.
c. Round the twisties.

Thanks for any help.

 

evo would win all three IMO

 

thats actually quite a hard question when you first see it but yeah evo in all 3 dont know whether cossie and skyline would be close round the twistys dont know how skylines handle

 

Skylines would be slightly under powered due to the weight of it against the other 2 imo, Escort Cossie might take it in a straight line but the Evo would definately be the best round the twisties because it's most advanced

 

the evo would have less lag than the escos.

its not really a fair comparision as the evo is newer ans more advanced..

wish ford would bring out the focus cossie and it would even things up a bit!

 

Thing is though what Evo would it be?? Don't the spec's vary on them therefore giving less or more lag etc?

The Escort could have the least lag of them all depending on what turbo it was running

Pub talk these posts IMO, get out there and try them Nick!

BTW, Glad to see you took my advice and got it on Pistonheads mate, looks wicked!

 

Dan, cheers mate lets see if it goes

Been out and tested them, but still dont know what to do

 

Funny way to compare things by handicapping the awesomely strong standard YB and RB motors by saying they have to make the same poxy 350bhp as the weak evo motor with its cadburys conrods.

but in your comparison, it would be the evo all the way i reckon

 

Bugger! Get another useable Escort Cos then mate, by far the most character!

 

...wont it depend on who is driving?


BUT if stig took em round the test track EVO,skyine,escos in that order.

Fuck modern technology though...RWD with 600bhp is where its at

 

Cheers Chip.
Just trying to be realistic really, obviously if i was going to keep the escos it wouldnt go much over this due to gearbox and diffs, so maybe 380 An i think the Evos are good for 400 on standards But the Skyline well, that can go more.

So just thought i would round it off

 

After I had my escos engine rebuilt (about 380bhp), I raced against an EVO FQ400 from a standing start over a 1/3rd mile. We did it at least 15 times. Same result every time, EVO won, but only just, was very close. Never had a skyline I couldn't beat. Not saying there weren't any around, just never came up against one that was better.

That was in a straight line though, twisties is different. IMO EVO would win hands down on twisties.

 

EVO
COS
SKYLINE


TBH nick, just get an evo!! your going to have another £5000 in the car if you convert it to 350/380 BHP and you could have an Evo plus CASH back in your bank
