the thing where the escos would win out over all the supercars would be the launch and time to get too 100mph and the gearing would be spot on round their track i rekun

If you mean me driving my car, then I would imagine it would be a very long way down the list, as im sure all the stigs are better than me, so I wouldnt be able to give my car a fair chance.

Even with the stig driving, id still expect it a long way down, certainly under all the evo and imprezza's etc.

I suspect that top gear probably wouldnt be very interested in what a load of old sierras and escort would do round their track, especially not enough to fund it.

I would, id be quite interested in the comparison, even if it all it did was show me how poorly a cossie rates against an evo or scooby etc with the same power.

they put a people carrier round the track after spending a wedge on it and it whernt much quicker could compare a standard escos to raylands or scs,s see the differance and do a report on tunning as its one of the biggest money erners in motoring
