Um, ford has places all over the world genious, the rs200 was made in europe/britain and shipped here

And top speeds of over 200mph and rally cup championships out the ying yang...


And this was all from a 2.0l 4 cylinder... there is no comparison to the rs200..



Out handles virtually everything on the road, fastest production 0-60, while being able to excede 200 mph with the same gears.... and was produced in the early-mid 80's... while all the cars you are trying to compare it with are in the 90's...

Yeah, WTF is up with that shit!? Ford sends the good shit out, and leaves us with the Focus.

I'm hella biased in this thread, but I can't argue the Skyline one bit. The only thing is, technically it can't fit in because it was never mass-shipped to the States...so I'm gonna stick with my obvious choice, the MKIV Supra.

Porsche 959. Set the standard then & we're still trying to catch up to it now.
Anybody read the recent article in Car & Driver about it? They compared the 959 to the current 996 Turbo. 959 is still better and it's almost 20 years old.
