Carlos,

I had the early GSI, non cat. And IIRC that 8.6 time came from Parkers who are way out on most figures. Alot of mags had the GSI down at 7.4, the later catted models at 8. After I had the SBD full exhaust system it breathed cleanly to the red line and made a huge difference. No NA 2ltr could beat it to 60. I had a couple of run ins with Escort RST's and neither beat me to 60.

Alot of book figures have the Scoob at anything from 6.4 to 6.9 to 60. evo and others have them upwards from 5.2.

There were some nice mods to be done too that car aswell. Throttle boddies, cams and a new ecu would have lifted power to 200bhp, sufficient for SBD to tell be that it would wipe the smiles off numerous turbo owners.

P.

The RS cosworth for an escort from 1995 to 2000 has impressive figures of 227bhp, 0-60 in 5.7sex & top speed of 144mph:O
The scooby has figures commonly regarded as a bit underestimated of 208bhp, 0-60 in 6.4 sex & top speed of 144mph

Why do people keep posting questions to which I have the answer

Standard Scoob (PTMW! b4 mods ) Vs standard Escort Cossie (Revs July 2000)

0-60

Scoob = 5.8s - Cos = 6.14s

1/4

Scoob = 15.04s @ 92.7mph - Cos = 15.84s @ 91.2mph

Top speed (1.7m runway)

Scoob = 133.7mph - Cos = 130.3mph
