Default How long will the Cosworth scene last???

Interested really as lets be honest the cars are getting old and more and more tuners are turning to Jap parts and tuning....

For people like me and say the RS car breakers how long a future we got?

Or will Cosworth be a big scene for years yet and acheive 1000bhp road cars?

dozens of years at least, but will start to get smaller.

even in many years there will still be a following if the original 60s mini and beetle are anything to go by.

It will last for a long time just like the oldschool Ford scene has!
There are a huge amount of Cosworth fans out there and only a very small percentage come on Passionford.

I can only see it lasting as long as it has simply because ford in the UK are yet to make anything to rival the cossies in the last 10 or so years.

We've been hit with the "Si" and the "ST" badge but nothing has come close to Cosworths - and for that matter RS Turbos (allthough give the RS Focus time )

It will last for as long as Ford dont make something better

Agreed with simon here, cus for a ford nutta to get serious power, you go cossie. And while they are the only alternative atm they will keep being used untill ford make something else.

Besides the Ecossie still has a lot of life in em

I know you were only kidding mate but i have only killed-off 3 saffs that won't go again and they were rotten as a pare! The other few cars i have pulled appart have gone again and the parts from all of them have helped keep hundreds of other cars on the road!
