Thats a lovely car there mate, very nice indeed

 

That bought back some old memories when i was into my fords

Was saving up for a escort cosworth but somehow ended up getting a MR2, after that i was hooked on Jap cars

 

IMO i cant see anyone wanting to do a swap a TT Supra for a Cosworth though as i think the Supra out performs the cosworth in every angle

Does it really out perform the Cossie in EVERY way ?

 

What about the prestige and heritage of the Cosworth name

It packs a serious punch for a 2 litre engine

This Cossie would be a real match on a track I would have thought against a lardy Supra ?

 

I love Supras but I think we all get a little precious some times :)

I'd say so - a BPU Supra would be as quick as that and more driveable.

A name isn't really performance though - agree, Cosworth has stacks of history.

A lot of 2ltr cars do these days. 450bhp MR2's aren't uncommon.

Maybe off the mark with the 4WD, but really, after that, I think a Supra would murder it. 4WD understeer, vs RWD oversteer.

We all do, but in this instance, I think it's right too.

Agree, it's a mkiv forum at the end of the day, but the Sierra Cosworth is an antique now.

To be fair to myself (!) I made my comments with a certain amount of nostalgia pumping through my veins, I was driving R5 GT Turbo's and RS Turbo's in the late 80's early 90's and the Cossie was always the daddy and I wanted one so bad, it never happened and part of me still wants to get one and live that dream

 

I would describe it as a classic and not antique however

 

Anyway sorry about going way off track on your for sale thread

The only thing i was driving in the 80's was my sit on, push along police buggy :D

 

My mum always wanted an RS Cosworth. Was a real desire back in that day when she had a 2.0 Sierra. I can appriciate what they were. They are a classic i suppose.

 

As for the Renault 5 GT Turbo's. :eek: I'm not sure which was more hideous, the nova or the 5.. They make me shiver to think of them.
