Pic of my temporary toy..
Hi guys,
I bought a Escort RS Cosworth 4WD in the beginning of the summer, right after i sell my 930. Meaning with this car was to have it while i build my new 930 engine, and i must say... The car is GREAT!!! The handling is excellent, the only sad thing is all plastic feeling inside.. (like all german fords..) If you guys have the opportunity to drive one, do that... I only put a chip and injectors in it and the time was: 1/8mile @ 8.00/144km/h 1/4mile @ 12.52/179km/h /Jocke

Wow, that's some good times! Too bad we don't have anything on this side of the pond with the name "Cosworth" attached to it. If we did all the F.O.R.D. jokes would disappear...until it broke down.

Why do we get all of the ugly cars and the rest of the world gets the good- (or at least inoffensive-) looking ones?

Yes, ye olde XR4Ti.
Compare Jocke's car to the Ford Feces^H^H^H^Hocus SVT, though, and I think it's safe to say that Jocke's car wins in the looks department, hands down.

Are emission standards different in Europe than here in the states?

Stupid question: What is a "Cosworth" Ford and why is it special?

Janus,
Cosworth is a famous engine builder with alot of F1 experience under it's belt. The name is the combination of the two founders: Mike Costin and Keith Duckworth Apparently founded in 1958. Related to Ford, here's an excerpt from the cosworth history on their website, www.cosworth.com: "...As the 1980s became the 90s, Cosworth continued to provide winning power, with the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 taking the 1987 Touring Car world title and the Cosworth-powered Ford Mondeo winning the World titles for Paul Radisich in 1993 and 1994. In Formula One, the DFV was replaced by the HB which won 11 races between 1989 and 1993, while Nigel Mansell’s 1993 CART championship and Jacques Villeneuve’s 1995 Indy 500 win were both provided by Cosworth power. In 1994, the Zetec V8 F1 engine was introduced and powered Michael Schumacher’s first world driver’s title. And in rallying, the Ford Escort Cosworth notched up numerous wins during the 1990s and the Duratec-R engine in the Focus gave Ford more success, to take Colin McRae to an all-time win record. Bringing the story to its conclusion, in 2003, Cosworth provides the power to 30% of the Formula One grid, as well as to the entire CART championship and the Ford BP Rallyesport Focus World Rally cars."

So this old thread woke up...
The season ´04 was great for me with this car, i run stunning 11.95sec/189km/h @ 1/4mile with only stage III chip in it. The engine is thoose cars are superb, original they deliver 227bhp and with the stage III chip youre up to 330+bhp. This is the look today for more air-supply!  I got a little movieclip from the 11.95sec, too bad i was up against worlds fastest syclone that goes 9´s all day long..  This clip is from the qualification rounds so no reaction times here.. http://home.vasteras2.net/connyruuth/jocke1195.wmv C ya! Jocke

A small number of these car have been imported and "federalized" by Sun Imports I think. They show up on e-bay occasionally.
A friend of mine has one that he purchased in CO. Like Jocke said, very impressive cars.
