The wrc escort vs the v8 ford granada

Got slayed? Quite close IMHO.....

If you win by a inch of a mile
A win is a win.
If they go head to head a normal dragstrip i think the granada would have to edge on topend power and wrc escort have the edge on the launch.
But if stian would have a killer launch maby the wrc escort can win.
I think the topend power of the granada is better.
:shock: :o

sweet, thx for posting, the wrc escort is amazing !

on the track its only natural of course, on the drag strip its alittle more strange tough...but I got to say it on a track meet this year the WRC escort looked liked simple a chiped cosworth compared to a couple of Audis.... :P

Of course their are some hardcore audi's on the gatbil event and have respect for the audi's and really like highly tuned/modefied audi's
But you forget the most importand factor of them all.
Stian is very good driver the perfect streetcar driver maby the best driver on all the gatebil events.
He has perfect car control.
I really expected that stian would be killed by the granada.
:D :o 8)
