Honda's Fast Ford Beater, why are they not comparing it to the Focus ST???? How come they feel the need to compare it to a Cosworth thats been out of production for years??? I dorve my friends 1.6 Mk1 Focus and the handling was awesome much better than the standard stuff on my Cossie, I can't even imagine what the RS version is like.

Im guessing, if its made by honda and not some aftermarket special, its made to get past homologation rules or summat.

If there some race series that rules state needs stock engine n gearbox, they will kick ass when this is a production car.

Same as GrpB rallying, RS500s, everything...

64k for 260bhp.....the 5/0 s 0-60mph is probably down to the gearbox. But 64k....shite!!!!

You could by a whole heap of metal for that sort of money!!!!

Because the Cossie is an icon, the others are not. You either understand or buy the brand as they say.

Cossie killer my arse!!, imagine how quick a £64k cossie is!!!!!
Jap crap with no character IMO, they did make some lovely cars like RA28 CELICA, but not much these days.
tabetha
ps or are they trying to say it has taken 20 odd years for them to catch up with a 20 year old car???
