0-60 ---- scoob probably ---- why? - cos my brother's bigger than yours

top speed ---- Cossie probably ---- Longer gearing & good aerodynamics

1st to break down ---- not sure but probably the scoob ---- why? - cossies may be old but they had really good engines to start with

Round a circuit ---- scoob at a guess ---- why? - Sierra cossies have longer gears and tend to understeer

1st to be worth peanuts ---- scoob ---- why? - cossies are a classic like all RS fords. New Jap cars tend to get better where as fords tend to get worse

Last time a similar race happened was on a Clarskon Vid. M.A.Developments Cossie scort vs Scoob STI5 Type R around a lap. Scort had a shedload more bhp. Result..... a draw So u could argue that the Scoob was quicker

Yeah but remember the Cossie was driven by a muppet (Clarkson), and the scoob was driven by a gob with legs (VBH), neither of whom could drive sheep

ahh, You say a 2002 WRX
That's a UK version car, yes?

Well I'd have to lay my money on the cossie. If it were a classic shape JDM version WRX it would have been a different story.

Now, which will break first? The cossie's gearbox/front driveshafts or the scooby's Big End
