i saw one of these cars. when i was little (mid to late 80's). it was on a trailer at watkins glen race track in new york. i remember it well. i didn't really know what it was only knew it was a ford. until i saw this picture i could never find it again. the thing had two shocks on each wheel if i remember. it was just all around awesome. i was like 8-9 and was drooling over this car. i guess i have been a car nut from the get-go. thanks for the picture. p.s. why do you guys need to flame each other. it seems pretty pointless, seeing is how it wastes a good thread. tim

Yep - the RS 200 were/is still a great car. A friend of mine has two of these in the US. Both road versions, one with the rally spec engine and the other was just normal spec. He took me out on the rally spec and it was loud and fast. Kinda freak me out having sooo much hp right behind you.
I ended up buying an Escort RS Cosworth and I think the STi will be a good addition.

If you guys ever watch "Motorsports Mundial" on Speed Channel, sometimes they show the British Rallycross series, and you'll see a few RS2000's going against Focus', Peugeots, Renaults etc. That's some wierd-*** racing, you've got like 8 or 10 rally cars going door handle to door handle over tarmac/gravel/mud, all on one little road course.

Does this guy only use those cars for racing? It would cost an arm and leg to get them federalized for road use. Getting them through customs would be a major pain in the a$$. But then again, there are always loopholes. Anyways, those are all awesome cars.

No - he doesn't race the cars (although some of them were former rally cars) , he takes them out on the track which is nearby. He does however race Spec cars.
Really nice guy and a great educator about cars and driving theories. I thought I was a good driver until I met him.

And yes, the Cossie is badass. There was one in Boulder, CO when I was living out there. Seeing one on the street in the U.S. is a rare sight.
