Cossie 370bhp
Impreza 250bhp

120bhp differance
cossie 30kg heavier
Impreaza approx 270lb/ft torque unsure of cossie

Would the Cossie easily beat it, or would it take a bit of effort?

 

370 bhp !!!!

 

yes i fear the cossie to take it to school, then give it english lessons, just enough to say......see you at the finish.

 

Off the line, if it's a 2wd cossie, the imprezza would win. Above 1st gear, the cossie would get it's power down and would pull away easily - more power, lower transmission losses.

Of course "round the twisties in the wet the scooby will beat any car ever designed". I'm sure I read this here, so it must be true.

How long before this thread turns into a full on muppet match?

 

pmsl!

 

What Cossie?

Escort
Saph 4x4
Saph RWD
3 door

why am i bothering, either way the Scoob is toast

 

If its me driving, the Cossie would be toast as I have a mechanism in place that prohibits me from speeding. (The Wife)

 

think its a Saph RWD

 

Bored already Marc ?

Is because everyone keeps taking the **** ?

 

well we caught the Reyland Escort round Castle Combe in the damp, but mellow was drivin...

good fun

ps. chased the Reyland Escort round the Ring in the Reyland Sierra with Renton driving...

Owain

 

cossies are still very fast you know!

Weava

 

why would i be bored? i dont drive the calibra remember!!!!

 

if the cossie owner said it was 370 bhp it will probably be around 320bhp as they all add 50bhp to the figures

mark- do you know anything about the cossie like what injectors, boost, turbo,etc???

hehehe

 

The cossie is set up to run 425 bhp but is turned down to run the 375 at the moment.

 

I'd agree with JohnnyGav as 300'ish is quite simple and cheap to achieve with Cossie lump, greens, -31 actuator, fuel pump, and a chip and your away, however a genuine 370bhp is starting to get expensive!

However there are a lot of Cossies out there running this power, and in my experience a loy of Cossie owners talk down there cars ability so beware

Is Mellow the guy from up Norf Chris someone if it is, he bought my Escort Cossie of me and the pictures in his house of his various track exploits, nearlly everyone has the motor on 2 wheels

 

JPH- are any of those figures proven???

 

Cossie spec:

Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth
F-reg
41,000 miles from new with all old MOTS and bills and service record
£20,000 of receipts including uprated engine by Graham Goode running a
reliable 370bhp at 22psi
17 inch alloys
Poly bushes
spax adjustable suspension
uprated clutch
uprated gearbox and diff (Quaiffe)
graham goode exhaust
Graham goode uprated hoses
Graham Goode air filter
New Clifford Cat 1 alarm and immobilizer
Group A head gasket
group A dump valve relocated to the cold side
Alloy header tank
4x4 intercooler
Graham Goode Strut brace
Pioneer head unit and multiplay
four brand new alpine speakers

The cars been set up to run at 425 bhp so wont be at 370 for long

 

 

Havent got the car yet but the guy im buying from has proven figures.

If i do the deal on sunday i'll scan them in. The engines had 20k spent on it so the figures quoted are realistic for the money spent.

 

were they not your pics on yc then?

 

Shut it peccy eat my dust lol. May pop up later anyway wind u up a bit more. Well that is if scoob has passed it's mot.

 

Marc they are pics of the car yes. But i dont want them all over the net as the deal is not yet finalised.

 

ah right gotcha!

 

22psi !!!

 

Yes

And ??

 

I'd go for the cossie everytime.

I sold my 2wd saff 6 months ago. That was 350-390bhp depending on what boost i was running. It was awesome.

Am now considering sellin the scoob to go back to a cossie, hopefully a 3dr this time.

 

22psi seems a tadge low for that sort of power, my Escort Held 22psi and that was 296bhp although it did have a CAT exhaust.

 

Johny i cant wait to get back to owning a cossie again. I love them to bits. I like my scoob but it's not a cossie. I want a 3 door and was going to get one but this came up so the 3 door will be put on hold for a year or 2.

Andy cant comment on that will be able to tell more on sunday.

 

j p h - is the car white and at a specialist performance car dealer - owner abroad (far east) ??
