Thats a cool vid, love the Escort Cossie, probably would have got one if I were older when they were newer.

All thoses Scoobys sounded fantastic as they roared past the camera car, as said bet the cossie driver had a shock when he looked in the mirror and saw that lot bearing down on him

I think the cossie knew the rest, after reading the comments on youtube the cossie driver had previously had a scooby.

Nice noises from the chasing herd though.

it was only a small turbo escort cosworth though, the least tuneable cossie of all so its not exactly suprising that a 10 year newer impreza sti is faster. They always will be better than the impreza. Everybody loves a cossie

I certainly do gav...if I didnt mind spendin the cash maintaining a cosworth I would have one in a sec. A lot more of a handfull than a scoob, but a lot more fun for this reason! Never driven an escort, but have driven a 4wd saph with roughly 330bhp...brutal acceleration compared to scoobs with similar power. Subaru's probably just as quick but smoother power delivery. Any opinions/experiences guys??

Cossie's have a status and following going further back than the scooby, at least in the UK.

Technically the scooby may be superior (same year etc) but for an out and out four pot turbo car you can't beat the cossies. I am still hankering for a rwd Saphire Cossie but good one's are hard to find and cheaper one's need TLC which I don't have time or space to get right.

For me the ultimate british muscle car has to be the 3 Door Ford Cosworth RS500 in White with split BBS rims

Cossie's are old technology in comparison to a scooby but I think that's part of the appeal, easy car's to learn and work with and the cossie four pot engine has a serious reputation that you can't argue with however in comparison to my mates 89 cossie, I have a trouble free time. He is in and out of his workshop on a regular basis but that's probably more to do with the way he drives the car

If you had been looking a bit sooner you would have spotted a genuine 25,000 mile 4wd that my uncle sold fairly recently. Owned for the last 8 or so years by him and totally standard sitting in the garage apart from maybe the odd sunday every few months. Only upgraded to the above mentioned 330bhp a few months before selling!

Delete this post immediately or you will end up making Frazy change his mind again and look into selling up and moving back to a Cossie …

That vid really makes me want to go to a Scooby meet just to drive in convoy and experience the sound of multiple Scooby’s
