Hello people, hope you having a nice day enjoying the sunshine :D.
There has been a lot of talk lately regarding the following topic : -

Escort Cosworth VS NEW focus RS

(I’m not sure why but hey ho, I thought I’d settle it once and for all: ;D)


1) The new Focus RS looks better , miles better as it looks like the WRC car
2) New focus RS is faster
3) You don’t have to TIP TOE around fearing bits will fall off
4) Most escort are ROTTEN
5) Escorts are respected by CHAVS who also nick them
6) The engineering is 20 years old and my 330 Beemer will eat it alive


OK OK there is a serious point to all this….. I think a lot of FORD RS owners live in the past (just MO). They need to wake up and realise escorts and serrias are old, badley engineered usually look laughable (In todays world) and are repected by the wrong people.
IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON , step away from granddads’ run about (no offense intended)


I think Subaru owners have the SAME illness they prefer the classic shape to ANYTHING else and are stuck in the past. The truth of the matter is company’s like SUBARU and FORD have won new ‘serious’ customers with cars like the ST and the new WRX STI.

Guess im fed up of the same old story, unless its got ‘500bhp 4x4 a roll cage, nitrous a bass box in the boot.. it must be shit’

Oh how jealousy and being unable to afford a classic performance car makes some people jealous. DICK!

The the Escort Cosworth which actually IS a road going rally/WRC car doesn't look like one :cry:


2) New focus RS is faster

Similar at standard difference is one is massivly detuned

3) You don’t have to TIP TOE around fearing bits will fall off

Nothing has ever fallen off my Escort Cos :? If maintained properly should have no probs what so ever


4) Most escort are ROTTEN

Most Escort Cosworth are pampered garaged babies, yes you can find shitters but whether you would buy one is another story

5) Escorts are respected by CHAVS who also nick them

Chavs? todays chavs don't even know what a Escort Cosworth is, the only respect I've have been given for my Escort Cosworth has been from people in their mid twenties and older.. where as the FRS will be on every kids bedroom wall in the next year

6) The engineering is 20 years old and my 330 Beemer will eat it alive

I'll take that challange:DD:

I too appreciate where he is coming from, but like you said yourself Lambchop, the escort is the last true RS, in so much as it was built primarily for racing and not to pass emmissions laws, safety laws............

why all the abuse?

i agree with most of it and after reading the post i presumed others would too :oops:

why are people comparing it to an esco? probably because it was such a legend and dare i say the last "true" RS?!

EDIT
although its certainly not better looking than the esc cosworth :)

Why would it be difficult, they managed it with the Escort! Have ford just gone soft by settling for the easy option?
