What's your favourite out of them both? I always liked the Mk2 more But since seeing the orange cosworth powerd Mk1 I'm not sure.

Cheers, Benni.

If I had to choose it would be a MK1 bubble arched Escort although I have a soft spot for the Mk2 Mexico.

Cossie power isn't everything you know

A big tuned NA engine still kicks ass but tends to make it a bloody awful car to drive about in on the road.

Turbo however is a very easy way to get massive power and it helps to shred tires in seconds
