Ran it in diligently for 1000 miles - all under 3k rpm - not sure if that's the recommended distance but I wanted to be careful. Once you can open out its awesome !!!but be patient !!

They are lovely cars, the kind of people that buy these are more discrete and prefer their creature comforts i think.
Would love to see a proper review against the R205, i'd have my money on the Jap rocket.

Being fair, Cosworth are modifiers, not car manufacturers. I can't see much difference between the strategy involved in making a Cosworth/Sierra or a Cosworth/Subaru. Particularly considering the Subaru would run rings around either of them straight out of the boxes. Only fair of course considering the passage of time. It's called development!
This was mine, incidentally.
I still share this one.
Yes, I love these cars, but I don't live in the past.

Really nice looking cossie Busterbulldog, I really like them and never quite sure why so many people knock them when they seem to be good cars.

On the hatch sti you get the option to run in sports, intelligence and sports sharp. All different power deliveries and throttle response. Intelligent is for motor way driving to get better fuel economy etc, sports is pointless in my view and only run it sharp, running around in sports in forth at 40 flick to sharp and you can feel the difference in how responsive it all gets, have heard rumors that it activates the full dual avcs head but that might be internet spoof. Sports sharp for the win :-)

It's already modded, cosworth did it ! 400 bhp in a car that size is an awesome road car. You would only need more if you were going to track it then the warranty would be void anyway. Besides, who would spend that much on a cossy if you intention was to track it?
