Classics are now 11 years old in newest form ... and the MY 2000 are the one's to get.
Unmolested Classics are like rocking horse **** ... UNLESS you get the superior Wagon - and that's where my money would be.

cosworth . heritage
scooby .halfords
for those who said that scoobys would be more reliable ,..BULL****!!! its all on the owners to keep it in tip top. the amount of scoobys i seen with bottom ends gone and gearboxes blown is unbelievable.. my brother had a p1 and he now sold it after the engine blew and he lost out bigtime. i have a ford rs turbo mate and it absolutly DESTROYED it for him.im running a 300bhp zetec turbo so you will need a proper scooby to match that which in my years of driving i aint come across.
in my opinion buy a cosworth!! cheaper parrts aswell and better on power

I've never seen a Ford which is better than a Subaru ...... really, that's just plain daft to say otherwise.
And that's from someone who has owned Fords from the 60's on !!!

i like the rs turbo and cossies etc,but any car can be as quick as any other car depending on what state of tune its had.
you have obviously came up against fairly standard/lightly modded scoobs,yes a 300bhp escort turbo will be a very quick motor,but not the fastest thing since sliced bread.

well you do tend to keep stating that you can beat any scoob as they are all slow.
every post or thread ive seen you comment on.....you just make out that your rs turbo is super quick and no scoobs can keep up.
if this was actually true then u must have one serious rs turbo.
