[quote][i]Originally posted by BluKoo[/i] Okay, the Escort Cosworth was seen as a great RS. Agreed? Escort Cosworth: 227 BHP 4WD, 1304 KG, 0-60 = 5.60 seconds Focus RS: 212 BHP FWD 1278 KG 0-60 = 6.4 seconds So the Focus is 26kg lighter than the Cossie, but its also 15 BHP down. Therefore the Cosworth still has more BHP per Ton. The Cosworth has 4WD, so its quicker to 60 and in theory, it will be able to put the power down earlier, and it will handle better round a relatively tight track. If you watch this video, you'll see that the Focus, is only 1.5 seconds slower than the Cossie. Okay, its about ten years newer, but still not a bad effort for a less powerful front wheel drive car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY5XEyAqmf0# Heres another video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBHQobVdk9U Yes, I know these are both made for the TV, so they may be slightly biased or innacurate, but considdering I have done several thousand miles accross country backroads in one, I can back these up.
