Very quick Escort! In real world terms tho you can see how much faster the Evo is. Its only 140+ where the Escort passes it (4wd transmission losses) and in real world situations these speeds arent ever going to be encountered! On a very long straight of a track the Escort might have an advantage but would be so far behind due to handling/braking/power application round the other 90% of the track it wouldnt matter!

Must have had a serious amount of cash spent on it! Great sleeper too!!!

Agreed as well, but at the end of the day the Escort is a 15+ year old 8v, that sort of power and speed demands respect
