Default Which RS would you have?

This question is based on not being money related, ie the mint FRST IS THE "SAME" COST as the mint rs500

Its more based on the car you would like to own regards to other factors, ie drivability, modifications, and more importantly SHAPE.

Just interested, like.

Put RS200 on the poll! That's the RS to have


If I couldn't have that I would have mint well sorted out Escos.

Thinking about it i would choose an RS200 evo overall, but ass its not there think the RS500 cannot really be beaten. Id love to own one, or even drive one for that matter

Mk2 RS1800, closely followed by a Mk1 RS1600, closely followed by a RS3100 Capri.

none of them are on there though, so i'd take an EsCos

Agree with a couple of the others RS200 IS the daddy

Aint on the list so aint gonna vote

BUT

Ok loads of ya said RS500 what makes THAT car so special to ya, looks, handling, power, or just rep

In looks aint much diff to a 3dr in reality, used to own a three door and after a while when seeing it. it stopped "doing" it for me
So looks wise dont get my vote (if i was gonna lol )

Handling, ye well if ya spend enough on it but outa the box

Power, well a few more ponies than a three door

so being the most modern would have to be the Escos which got the looks handling and power straight as u buy it, cause assuming u meant in std form as otherwise too many variables

So there I said it PMSL The RS500 aint a god

Running off to hide

RS500 in a perfect world!

but its so unlikely in the near future that it has to be a S1 purely on looks alone!

Are you taking new standerd or modded motors??

RS200 would be top of my list

Then a new ROUSE saff the quickest cosworth out of the box and also because of it being so rare

Oi, i cant see the RS200.

Tough choice, I would so like a White Escos Motorsport Edition but the RS500 is tempting too but the fact its RHD puts me off.
