The Vauxhall Astra GTE vs the Ford Escort RS Turbo. Fifth Gear go back some 20 years to pit 2 hot hatches against each other. The old Vauxhall vs Ford!
i miss my gte ........ 1990 grey with rainbow interior, digital clocks were a touch of brilliance ........ fast as fcuk !! corners were for the brave only !!
How come the escort isn't sitting in a plume of smoke at the side of the road? And how come the astra hasn't rusted away? And how come they've both not been pinched?
@chris99140 20xe engines have forged internals but the coscast heads are sought after as people fit them too C20LET engines (2.0 16v Turbo engine) as they are less prone to go porous (head failure)

@chris99140 early 16v gte had no cats and had a polished and ported coscast cylinder head made by cosworth which made 156bhp
