I think it's because up the 90s your normal affordable family car could also be a rally bread monster.Originally Posted by E60Dave
Take your family in your 1.6 75bhp Sierra to a rally/race to watch a near identical car (Sierra Cosworth) with 210bhp hoon around.
I know you could say the same about a 316/M3 but Ford were considered as a normal bread and butter brand and not prestige brand the same as BMW.
There was Hot versions of nearly all the mundane family hacks, Xr2/Xr3/Xr4/Rs Turbo/Rs1800/Rs2000 and the Sierra/Escort/Granada Cosworths etc...
Maybe I'm just biased as I was brought up on Fords?
Although I must admit, I don't find modern that Fords that interesting.
Any pics of the Xr3 and Rs?
