Steve GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 ryno= legend well said dudetake the "amazing" fiesta ST.....2.0l engine and only 148bhp put it against my old gt before boost was increased at all and my gt bummed it. too over rated for me lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 you do realise that Starlet GT's come out of the factory with more or less the same 0-60mph time then the all mighty Seirra Cosworth?The only slightly respectable ones are a tuned Escort Cosworth or a RS200... the rest are so underwhelming it hurts to put that fake smile on your face that your impressed with them purely because of the pedigree.Ford owners... Pish! speed speed speed. lol. not all about speed now is it... id own a cosworth over a glanza anyday if i cud afford it lol... in terms of street cred, i wud think a cosworth wud win sound they make, design, looks. i think there brill cars ryno= legend well said dudetake the "amazing" fiesta ST.....2.0l engine and only 148bhp put it against my old gt before boost was increased at all and my gt bummed it. too over rated for me lolsounded ever so chav that did... exhaust and intake restrictions for insurance reasons... Not designed to be fastest thing on the roads. designed to do everything as a compromise... There a very good car imo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 lol they are in completely diffrent leagues, but i'd go for speed and reliability over street cred any day!again when you refer to 'Cosworth' your not really refering to Fords but the tuned edition of a very poor base car!as you can tell i'm a jap fanboy, but i'm that for a reason!

Steve GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 speed speed speed. lol. not all about speed now is it...whoah whoah whoah not all about speed??youve been telling everyone you cant w8 to tune your glanza to get it as fast as possible and you were sick of being left behind in your fezzienot all about speed ey??

Socks Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 personal preference...im not really one for slagging off other types of cars, as i said all got our own tastes.... im a fan of many cars, just not a fan of french stuff from first hand exprience, same with friends... I wudnt be buying a glanza otherwise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryno Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 it's not really slagging off other types of cars, it's just looking past the hype to be realistic!can't say i've ever owned a french car, but after spending a while chucking some around the Nurburgring i have nothing but respect for them, same with German cars and Jap cars. All makes have their plus sides and negative bits, i just don't get bullshitted easily by people going.... ahhhh it's a cosssssie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 That is a shame to see I must say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 french cars arnt that bad its just socks has known a lot of people with 106 gti's and saxo vtrs that go wrong. there the cheap boy racer cars. i personally used to love my saxos. there brill cars but not very well built. but i agree with ryno again french cars are impressive once you get out of the cheap affordible range lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All makes have their plus sides and negative bits, i just don't get bullshitted easily by people going.... ahhhh it's a cosssssie the hype i believe is cus of the engine no??800bhp from a 2.0 4pot? that not impressive? there tunability makes them popular too..Lots of tunability makes somthing popular too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 yeah but 800bhp? how much would it cost you to get it to that a fooking lot im guessing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 alot less then evo, imprezza or jap equiv as a guess lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 meh, they've got 1000+ out of an evo....thats 2ltr... but just like the 800bhp one you mention that's hardly gonna have much stock internals left! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 100bhp supra over a cozzie anyday IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm a Jap boy too but I do reserve a little piece of mind for Escort Turbos and Cosworths. They were good cars in their time, it's not their fault who buys them, but many jap cars are driven by the same idiots these days. As cars decrease in value and cheap parts they go lower down the hierarchy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 depends where you live and drive, to me a skyline/supra is a waste on my roads at there's nowhere to open them up.where as a road going rally car is perfect for the dirty b-roads! oh.... and to me anything over 400bhp it just unsuable as a road car!!!!!!!
