Something I've always wondered - just how fast was a (standard?) Escort Cossie? I lusted over those as a teenager. Seriously, I would have shagged one given the chance.

Are we talking noticably quicker than a mk5 gti? (as a logical benchmark).

I've never driven one either, but I'd bet they were lighter with the same or a bit more power than the standard GTI K03... still I doubt there would be a lot of difference between the two tbh.

Didn't they do a Top Gear (of old) special where they compared old HotHatches to new ones, namely the ECossie and Focus RS (the 2.0T one) of 2003 ish.
