Mk 2 Escort rs2000 cosworth 608 BHP

[leeriley66]

I laughed so hard!

[hooligansuk]

Whats the point of having 600+bhp when it wont drive? Having no grip whatsoever is a waste of time, only good for bragging.

[Pigeon1888]

shit pilot, shame cos it sounds like a fun jammer......

[siscotto]

it is a ford! power....! questions?

[siscotto]

nur so werden rennen gewonnen! ;-) ford rules!

[siscotto]

phenomenal!

[Willz136]

I dont care what you guys say, that is totally hilarious ! on that straight just absolutely dicking people

[haydensupra]

too much power 300-400 is too much 600 is just plain stupid no traction what so ever

[Helliconia54]

shit car! no handling or shit driver,no skills.either way,i would not like to be on the track with him.I love the Mk2 escort,but that looks shit.

[minimemy]

Reckon everytime your on that straight you can feel the grip on them tyres slwly wear away lol

[rowanationer]

this driver is fucking shocking

[minimemy]

fuck being behind that u dunno where it could end up lol

[Draxindustries1]

Watch how all the others handle the corners with ease and without drama, this car/driver is a liability. Anyhow, its not an RS2000 anymore, its hearts been ripped out to change it into nothing more than just another hybrid.. FAIL..

[jimbobrust]

A very impressive car on the straight but it looks scary in the corners:-)

[82coxy]

@jimbobrust i dont think its the car its the driver.

[v8mk1Capri]

seriously mad car man, loving it!!

[g0fvt]

Looks like a bundle of fun, the haters seem to think the car/driver has a problem, clearly he is having fun and playing.... not exactly slow up the back straight!

[SeigeCJ]

I think slow in fast out is the best tactic.... xD

fantastic motor mate.

[artofwheels]

top car! thumbs up!

[misterbearbe]

My dad still has this brand new mk2 sitting in the garage told me I'd get it when I grow up.. still not gotten it am 23 now. Bet he knows I'm going to sell it and buy me another car with the money ^^

[dazzygod]

mk2 magic....no other car can give you more fun.

[peanuts2105]

Is this car running on Stella?

[b4mb4m100]

@peanuts2105 hahaha quality comment

[maddi2k9]

fuckin beast

[zigaretos]

LOL....Small Car, Big Power 0_0

[mercbenzblack]

Great car!! But I think a better drag car then a track car. Just cant get the power down on the track.

[gdogau]

looks like it needs more power...lol

[HawlHeed]

is that just a track day?

looks F'king awsome!

top speed?

[xXDJSTEVOXx]

nithing better than the old fast fords

[Robbyrebelous]

lmao, when that thing starts to skid out it sounds like a monkkey

[tweedy85]

SHIT HOT M8

[benzy199]

fuckin beast

[jayboy2860]

wtf av they done 2 dat engine?

[doyler0018]

going sideways in a mk 1 or 2 escort what more do you need in life

[barnywal]

People still race & rally these old scorts! Why? Because they are fun! Fuck winning or being the fastest, though i did watch a rally the other day.... £300,000 wrc focus vs £45,000 mk2 and guess who won?

[teothejackass]

dont know about handling .. no grip , probably bad suspension and tires i guess

[StreetSlider88]

mk 2 escort 1 of the best cars ever made!!

[popoffk]

I don't see why you moan so much about the handling of the car... It's not a drag car, nor a car built for fast laps around the track...

It's a grown man's toy!

Built for abuse, shitloads of fun and cruel giggles while pulling away from people, sideways.

[Landstrykern]

It`s not that it handles bad because it`s to much power for a old car. Much of this car is built recently anyway. The reason for it handling that way is it has a shot diff. I`m no mechanic or anything, but it seem that way to me.

[B16JOE]

Awesome car in the straights, see it pull from the red cossie down the long stretch, but then the red cossie was miles infront on the next lap! Handles like shit too much power for an old car, definately a drag car not a track car, assuming it can get traction on the start line!

[kevdrifter77]

know that looks like fun?

[LooneySRM]

Great car , fun-driving...most of us would have planted it into the walls ...

But if i'm not mistaking , that marchal waves a black flag!?..so you were disqualified? Too much power ? too risky?

Wkr

[LooneySRM]

Great car to get on tracks with!

Great driving btw ;) know you were just having fun , but still..many of us would have planted into the walls...

Tnx 4 vid!

[M374EVL]

what a fuckin animal of an escort

[Trig0r]

Wonder what the marshall wanted lol

[davidmadigan]

he was disqualified

[gtirlad08]

that thing can shift,once it gets going!!!!

[aadjoow]

that car is obviously not built for that kind of power, therefore it doesn't perform well on the track at all. Fun to know that you've got 3458804683 horses under the bonnet, but it's not much to say if you can't control them.

[drbl52]

what? i am sure that he can control them, he is just having some fun

[scoob878]

awesome .

[matthindrarr]

Needs some wider rubber! :D

[MFE92]

...and getting passed by everybody on the track after that straight

[Northiee]

wow..must be hard work keeping it straight....that beast is a killer

[1968dodgechargerman]

Bloody Hell! Too much juice, fabulous!! Could do with a couple of cement bags to hold down the arse end.. Great Video. I've got a 1990 Ford Cabriolet 1600efi and am looking to beef up the power.. But I don't know much about UK ford.. My '68 Charger is stock at 375hp..

[chaddy390]

NO TRACTION love it!!!

[rogerjsy]

that things fuckin nuts! an i thought my cossie was quick! lol

[wickesm]

I love the way it sits down on the power, looks amazing. Good post.

[bobbyzox]

i had a 350bhp cossie and despite the back end fukkin around ur so in control luv em

[willswainyeee]

this car is so awesome its my favourite car and i cant believe its got so much power

[beaverbox]

HOLD ON A MIN !!!!!

All the negative comments get the +1 OR MORE

And all the positive comments get -1 OR LESS

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT

The escort mk2 cosworth on this clip is the nut's that +10 OR MORE

And to all you fuck head that think a GOOD COMMENT is worth -1 or -10 you can go stick a dildo up your ass and go look at smart cars or nissan micra or some think like that because that is an insult to the man that built the car KNOB HEADS

[TheeBaker]

lol nice point, its cos there are so many stupid people about.... i uploaded this to, car is awesome but the drivers not upto much...

[beaverbox]

THANKS FELLA (theebaker)

But what the guy is doing is crowed pleasing

Yes it's good to see fast car going fast

But it's better to see fast going fast and a little sideways action to

He has 600bhp and he is showing the people that it really has

That must be a good 100 to 200 yards and he is spinning the most of the way

but just look as he goes down the back straight there is no spinning just power and speed

[TheeBaker]

again good point i never considered that, yer down the back straight hes, well blasting straight yer, and from the looks of other comments a few people didnt figure that either...

[madforbanjo]

fucking savage .............. mk2 all the way

[idiotman76]

I completly agree far to much power for a car like that in other words useless.

[Benn859]

I agree. Old car, may fall apart. Old engine that can only make 250bhp before you break the carb.

[idiotman76]

thats a turbo, hilarious fishtailing get it in gear and work on that

[kevhoust]

think that car is hilarious when its pulling up the straights fishtailing everywhere. Could maybe be a better all round car if it had slightly less power though.

[beaverbox]

This is of the best video clips i've seen and the escort is the bomb doo you still have the beat ????????

[beaverbox]

That escort is like McDonald's saying ( I,M LOVING IT ) CAN I SEE MORE ????

[HOSS2108]

what a fantastic car

my kind of beast

i would love to see more

or get more info on this car

[papermarioa]

WHAT A FUCKING BEAST!!!!

I love that car,

[bogmonster9]

ha the marshels didnt like dat 1 bit . i love it

[gangaguru84]

too much power dude, u should go for drag race

[slinged]

cossie power

[Scotx2]

u no u have a mint car when u pull away from other cars while the wheels r spinin!!!!

[rsdaz84]

this car is from norway and as far as i am aware has now been completly rebuilt with much better chassis mods to cope with the mad powew

[DANATRINGWOOD]

it clearly has too much power lol

[beergutt316]

Think i see this at santa pod rip a 10sec quater

[coszie]

that escort + 4wd = very little cars in the mirror. the escort as it is = brilliant for drift i wanna see it go to trax 09 would be brilliant

[scottearley123456]

gotta love an escort be good if he could keep that power under control

[richardturnerflorida]

Fierce power

[54spiritedwill54]

Thats one awesome car!! Long live that Escort!

[beaverbox]

That escort is like McDonald's saying ( I,M LOVING IT ) CAN I SEE MORE ????

[IBelieve8912345]

uMmMmMmMmm hai 2 u. bored? lets chat! im naked! =) maybe n

[werdna230667]

think he'e gona after make it 4wd!!

it's like trying to wrestle a bull

very un predictable!!

but greeeeatttt fun!!

[stuartkiloh]

sideways is the shit!!!!!!!!!!old fords never die,they just get boosted!!!!!!!respect

[thecossiedoctor]

RESPECT!!!!!

[polinipirate]

Coswoooorth!

Yeaaah what a great Car!

[WhyZedthe125]

BeCOS' it's WORTH it!!!

[mattarv]

That must be a horrible car to drive

[MarTin3Z420]

its the driver thats horrible, the car is awesome

[H22A7]

was thinking the same thing

[vermintude]

Listen to that waste gate hiss!! Love it!

[gnamus]

just a bit peaky eh

[mcwallo]

hmmm...it'd be better if he could get all that power down without snaking everywhere... bet it's a handful to drive! still it's quick as fook.

[troy1965aug]

fuckin ace them cars were built for raging with all that bhp fuckin sweet

[titmushman]

the way it should be fcking arse sliding :D

who wants to go in a straight line when u can got sideways :D

[sikorski]

Woo hoooo!!Holy blikkin flip!!The way it says bye bye to everyting on the back straight is hilarious! Rock on!

[invisiblebarriers]

0v3rd0seh Have to agree with you on the people who think they can drive better.

AndyRouseCrawford Im sure he's doing that for the crowds entertainment and not pretending it can't be kept in a stright line.

[andywellsey]

could do with some wider tyres perhaps, to keep the power in check. awesome car

[AndyRouseCrawford]

Funny how he can keep it in a straight line on the back straight where there are no spectators!!

[jacobcharnock]

jesus, doesnt need that kind of power. fuckin beasty though.

[smithyloz]

would love to see it drag. that is one sexy beast

[0v3rd0seh]

I'd love to see any of the people here that say "wish he could drive" "he should let me behind the wheel show him how its done" etc, actually getting in that car.

They'd be dead within 30 seconds.. or at least very embarassed.

Good to see him having fun, made me giggle when he got pulled over for reckless driving :P

[djmolleja]

el que maneja es un boludo o el auto es inmanejable??? Me tiro por el primero!!

[werdna230667]

poor guy!! he's just fighting to keep it straight!!

must have some power!!

awesome!!!

[ST165BIRMINGHAM]

i agree with some of the other comments, hes playing as those are fun. if you notice he cant do alot as they pull him over. other wise im sure he'd have the backend out all the way around those corners. Escort's best ever car second to the ST165 (one runnig over 16psi+ anything less is boring) he he he 8-p

[unexist]

The thing is that the MKII doesn't weight a lot,making it more fun to drive! A lot more as you can see!!

[oldsierra]

It's a pity Ford never made them like that as standard! Big wheels look good the Mk2. Does anyone know any actual acceleration figures for this car?

[chopchopzzz]

you talk total shit u couldnt drive a fiat panda lol (98gpgtp)

[dmhwelsh]

People who say "i can drive better" and all that crap. Hes not racing the dam machine. Its a track day where you show off your car and have fun. Hes having fun there, and definatly not struggling.

[98GPGTP]

I could drive it better if it was my car and I had the time to learn.

[jamesweston12345]

Lasse is an awesome driver, you'd be pushed to find a better one, and you try getting an over 600bhp car round corners fast on a live axle!

[mcguggonedward]

assome car crazy power. looks like a man trying to control a mad rino.............

[rscarsneverdie]

awsome mk2 ,and for those who say hes a crap driver..get off ya playstations..and try drivin a 600hp rwd car on full boost..hes entertainig him self and us. respect !!!

[98GPGTP]

That guy sucks at driving, if he knew how to race that car he wouldn't be breaking it loose at all.

[Redsent]

This is actually in Norway, pretty near me. I've been there multiple times. This is a race day which is all for fun, this isn't anythng you win cash on or anything like that, people just show off and play with their cars.

[SpliteR]

I would really like to see people like you trying to drive cars like that. Would be the most hilarious thing I`ve ever seen.

[mcguggonedward]

like to see you drive it better.nigel............

[escortmad79]

You try laying down 600bhp on a greasy track, see if you can hold the back end & stop it from overtaking the front!

[nightspeed07]

that is fucking mental he does well to keep it under control lol i want 1 ha

[doubts]

hairy !!

[D1rtR1der]

here in america all we got was the escort gt (fwd)

after watching all these cosworth videos i want one

[hotscortr]

So many critics on fast cars & race driving - I wonder how many saying "crap driver" or "car can't handle" have driven NEthing quicker then a 14 sec 1/4 mile? Or raced (a car) an a real track? Perfect handling for track work - any wally can see that. Ok 4 serious track work the power delivery is moronic he'd B quicker with 400 hp & a smaller BB turbo. But I doubt he gives a poo. & driving skill? He's a pro holding that line, my mk2 has 1/3rd of that power at the tyres 650? Crazy!

[offitcock]

"love the gas gearbox" lol not a dump valve then. personally i prefered the tom jones :-p lovely looking car fast as fuck

[dmhwelsh]

Cosworth engines are known to go over 600bhp when properly modded. So yeh your grans got the best knockers in town mate. :D You dont know much about the "Cosworth" world. Read a ford mag. Or check out stian hefsengan and his gatebil escort cosworth. Thats extreme power aswell

[dmhwelsh]

why do u need LSD's and slick tyres. its a classic car for christ sakes, british car, british engine, cant go wrong. and hes purely doing the sliding for fun, not because he cant get the power down. if he couldnt get the power down, he wouldnt be doing so well on the back straight. Ford fan 4 life. Cosworth own!

[TimmyTime1989]

who says that juck cant drive, good luck t any1 who cant drive holdin that yock in those fishtailings like he is!!!

[mikestp2]

he needs a LSD because it 600 fucking horsepower

[bristollad]

C'mon man, he can't get that power down due to lack of grip. If he was just, "purely doing the sliding for fun" he would be doing a better job than what he is doing. Man, I could drift that car better than that with that much power and lack of traction!!!

[norcotorrent05]

absolutely pointless having that much power in a rear wheel drive car without a decent traction control system, look at it it is too powerful to control and cant get the power down. babe of a car though love the gas gear box

[davidjames2009]

id buy that 4 a doller...

and a lot more lol..

luv it...

[felixkat2]

Why does everyone suggest that the car can't handle and the driver is crap? Does the long straight not prove that's not the case?

Maybe it's for the entertainment factor that he's sliding up the mini straight. The crowd love it and believe me if I had that much power under my foot I wouldn't want to go in a straight line. You would slide for the fun of it, and err, because you can.

[felixkat2]

I don't know why I'm posting anyway, the next person will come along ignore everyone's comments and say, yeah driver is crap and the car can't handle.

[weecraiglikescars]

i love mk2 escorts they are the funnest rallycars 2 drive they just slide all over the place

[556fullmetaljack]

wow im looking thur a magazine called performance ford ive had for years looking at a sick mk 2 in it .i punch mk2 escort in to you tube and the first mpeg is bout the car im reading bout .gotta love you tube and sick mk2s

[murcielagoboy]

Absolutley fantastic... (you need slicks, some wider rubber and and LSD mate!)

[cliolord]

Looks like it does have an LSD to me, its drifting all over the place!

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

Umm, Power without controll is NOTHING. Utterly pointless-handles like a pair of underpants in a washing machine!!

[mikalnyte]

ANIMAL!!!!!

[wajuni]

Sin dudas un mito sobre ruedas el glorioso mk2

[kilted06yass]

beast,i would taake tht over any supercar e.g ferrari any day

[reubs29]

scary fast car-wish the dude knew how to control the beast and then it would be unreal!!!

Generally once you get too a certain level it's not about the car but more about the talent of the driver-fuck I wish I could get behind the wheel of that machine!!!!

[bilbo389]

mad track car very quick and the noise!!

[integraledmy]

WHAT A F*CKIN BULLITT

[inkellberry]

This is awsome to see i just red the article in june edition of retro ford it goes of GO THE MGHTY FORD ESCORT.

[lowhungone]

its all on the turbo tho no control of the power just one big kick up the arse

[TeeDee87]

608hp on that... wtf... the shit weights about same much :D

[bigliam56]

gr8 fast classic car fucking shit driver

[leedsbmxer]

hes probably not a shit driver. Its Gatebil theyre there to entertain the crowds not set lap times

[ntvtec]

that car is auwsum i want 1

[stagga76]

Holy Fuck!!!!!

[ihatewankers]

very very very very nice....

[HutchyBee]

Now that is what I call a CAR!!

[g0dsmaul3r]

i want that car or the parts list on to build 1 with the same spec

[talented11]

Insane!!

[wombferret85]

Mans car!!! Twitchy back end, I love it.....

[mark170bhp]

thats a lot of power for a mk2 but its great

[RUFNEK20]

cossie engine is king!

[powerbycosworth]

the jap crap better sit in the garage hahahahahahaha old skool ford!!

[Cluzio]

What a stupid track to put that monster on

[taius20]

that well cannot put the power down to the srack. looks well sketchey

[gargantuate]

leathal! i like :)

[cdfb]

When it grips its off! Seriously quick S1/4 mile.

[graham878787]

Thats fat!

[carolardo]

Is the driver Keichi Tsuchiya? Pure Fun driving

[huffdiggler]

proper crackers motor.

[mikecozza69]

He got black flagged for "reckless driving"

[GTR0134]

useless power... no traction at all... but I love it :)

[sal1988]

be on slicks by the end of that

[bizzyfingers]

thats totally unusable power through and through... fuckin love it. makes you forget ya listening to tom jones

[slamz2006]

lol, the wheelspin reminds me of the TKM karts that i drive sometimes, as they have alot of power with little weight, so the back end slides out when you give it power.

[jonnyassault]

tamakisanmafia do you drive?? have you herd of torque steer? twat

[slamz2006]

BTW, thats not torquesteer its wheelspin as torquesteer is only on fwd cars with loads of power, but that car is rwd with loads of power. but i do agree that tamakisanmafia is a twat that knows nothing.

[boostedup]

looks like it handles like a pig, be interesting to see what it runs quarter mile in seems to have some serious balls on the straights!

[tamakisanmafia]

bad tuned.. or crappy driver ??? the car looks great anyway :)

[miniboyfromipswich]

make it 4wd make it fly
