cossie v scooby clarkson
 

most of this afternoon on 566 uktv jez clarkson on some early head to heads, earlier a 22b showing a evo 6 a few things and then later a scoob sti5 type r neck and neck with a tweaked escort cossie (scoob was the better car just a poorer driver!) fantastic telly , any one watching, its all still going on.

:cool:

shame i've couldn't watch it :D

if it was a black cossie and dark grey sti5 type r then it was staged as a dead heat :)

Seen the 22b vs EVO6 on his head to head video..

He prefered the 22b ;)

I also have the video, very cool ;)

And the Skyline that trounced the TVR, that went well.

Yeah but what about the Capri that blitzes the Holden,Cerbera and Mercedes Brabus.
That thing flies yet they dont say what its had done to it.

cossie engine;)

IIRC the Capri is running c380bhp.... :eek2:

That race with the grey STI5 and the Black Escort Cosworth was a complete farce!!

The Escort was Mark Sheads from MADevelopments, and was running circa 500Bhp
and the STI was Darren Soothills, running around 310Bhp!!

If you listen you can hear the escort dumpvalve go off as it nears the finish line, as they backed off the throttle before the end!!

IMHO the Escort would've wiped the floor with the STI on that short course!.

I know this might seem like I'm a saddo, but ever since I watched that vid, it has bothered me, and I'm glad some others might agree! :)

Pickle: Yeah, that didn't exactly seem like a fair match:a VERY extensively modded Cossie vs a pretty standard STi V5. I think the Cossie would have won in a straight line, but I'd believe that the STi would be better around the corners. The Cossie seeemed to wash out wide with significant understeer and then suddenly snap into oversteer...not good for setting a good pace. However, it could have just been Jezza's driving. ;-)

Seemed like an appropriate conclusion though: both great cars! Not surprising that Jezza slightly preferred the Cossie; he used to have one and it was very much the performance car of his generation! I've not yet had a go of a Cossie, but would very much like to!

Best.
