nice looking car, but why such little torque?
id have thought that with a t4 and near on 500bhp there would be more than 380lbs
dont a lot of 400bhp cars have 380ish lbs?

I was 99% sure that the rear tail was functional on an Escos and not just for "show". Surely removing it from a high spec. car will be detrimental to it's handling.

IIRC The rear fin helps on the twisties but can actually slow the car down top end hence why people normally take them off when going for top speed run etc.

just means it has no boost spike, unlike most other engines that are high torque.

Very cheap. Top spec car at that money.
Does need the fin put back on tho IMO. They just dont look the same without.

Not on a '93 mate. "Aero Pack Delete" was only an option on the last year or two of production.
Lower front splitter was also part of this option.

If anything it gives the transmission half a chance or surviving !
