OG. With these rolling races the pace cars on the left will always have the edge over the other because of thinking and reaction times. Would it not be fairer when you did these future runs keep it as is now and then swapped the cars positions over and repeat the race? It would be a much more balanced race then 🤔
Something went down on that because it lost so bad, i really thought the RS 500 coupe would win.. it has more things in it's favor less mass weight, -2 extra doors and it's got a better aerodynamic on the rear with that extra whale tale (+on top of that it is more valuable on resale value with those center lock BBS rims).. otherwise cool comparison..
@@poplaurentiu4148 It didnt have a proper reliable build and drivers reflexes though...if these were different , we would have a different result i believe also.
My most powerful cossie were 450 bhp. Absolutely loved tuning my cars, simple remap takes you over 500 these days on a 2 litre turbo. I were changing cams porting inlet ports, different injectors 3 bar map sensor etc etc. miss it dearly ❤
The real winner is Andy in the white Cosworth! Those RS500 launches were awesome to watch and hear someone full sending a 30+ year old piece of history but perhaps not the most practical. Andy in the RS conservative approach to a softer launch seemed to be the winning recipe in the drags. Another great video Jamie, top race!
I can remember being taken out in a Sierra Cosworth running 270bhp back in the 1980s I was blown away, how times have changed 270 bhp is not much power now days but back then it was the dogs goolies.
@@hardcoretamI hope you don’t complain when you ask for a pint of bitter in a pub and get a Panda shandy. It’s s big fundamental cock up to call a four door saloon a five door, especially for a car guy. 😂😂
@breathoffreshair7314 I live in the UK and have worked in the motor trade for 25 years trust me it's a 4 door for it to be a 5 door it would have to be a hatchback
It's 4 door saloon or 5 door hatchback. An XR4x4 for example would be a 5 door. The bootlid isn't classed as a door whereas on a hatchback it is. Know it's not exactly that important though.
Here in the US, Ford brought us these two in the form of the Merkur XR4Ti and the Scorpio. I had the XR4Ti and I loved that thing. So cool, so fast. My friend had a Z28 h/o and my little 4cyl stayed right beside him till we hit 100mph. The hand crank sun roof was the coolest thing to me.
Bloody Hell! My heart bleeds for the three door. He tried so hard. Bet that engine tuner gets a call next week😢 I'd still prefer to own the three door. A real slice of eighties design excess! ❤
That Rs500 wasnt wanting to play on the drags such a shame coz they launches where savage. Well matched race. Defo seen the difference in the gear changes which the cars positions. Be great to see a series 2 rs turbo battle with one of the cossies. OLD SKOOL LOVE
I’m just old enough to have seen the odd Sapphire Cosworth (and plenty of bogo Sierra’s) in the wild so I was routing for the 5-Door, it’s like seeing a familiar face from my younger days. Looks like the Cosworth needs a bit of finagling to keep it on full boost, I think they would have been absolutely inseparable otherwise. Fair play to both Andy’s; both cars are old, very valuable and yet they happily sent them at full chat 👌
Andy in the 5 door is a driver. As little traction los as possible on the launch and those shifts were on point. Sucks that the 3 door had issues. Might need to check the clutch switch. Might be getting stuck depressed which will keep launch control active.
The sapphire puts the power down on the road better than Sierra. Have driven both with 3 litre V6. Sapphire is well balanced car. Sierra is heavy on front, light on rear. Sapphire is perfectly balanced weight on both. I own 92 Ford Sapphire GLX 3.4 V6. It keeps the ppwer down on the road. Brilliant Cosworth races there. Love both cossies ❤ That Sierra send off on the launch is definitely legendary!
Two skool vetreans battling it out. If the 500 Cosworth sorts his top end power issue out, you need them back for a part 2. Great race's indeed. Put some respect on the name. (COSWORTH) is one of the cars that paved the way for street mods. Boy did Andy send the 500 off the line in them drags. You just know how to pick em Jamie, brother. The match ups are always on point. Respect bro
The sapph is hitting the 120 mph terminal speed I'd say is correct for a 480 hp Cossie that's soft launching. The 3dr unfortunately just as in the supra video is showing signs of boost leak/definetely down in the power.
Wonder what was causing the RS500 to bog down. Heat soak maybe, or ECU cutting fuel / power after the hard launch? Seemed to be pulling much stronger from the rolling start, than it did from the the standing start races.
Great video, enjoyed that. Don’t see many used properly anymore. Props to Mike at MAS Tuning for keeping these things out there ripping up the tarmac. 👌🏼😎
I owned that saph 15y back, bought it off an old couple it was super high miles for a cosworth 225k,completely standard ,tow bar for towing his Caterham to tracks. It was some kind of press car originally and had done something crazy like 100k in its first 2/3 years. £2000 i paid for it (was the only bidder on ebay)😂 How times have changed
Are they both running the same gearbox ? The RS500 seems to struggle on rolling gear changes like it's synchro is worn if you get where I'm coming from...yet he nails it on launch from standing start
Man, that video gave me goosebumps, it took me right back when I used to own a Moonstone blue 4x4 Saphire cozy sitting at 560bhp. Awesome. I like both cars but I dud want the Saphire to win... naybe a bit biast 😂
Proper driving there feeling the car when to shift how long to stay on throttle etc. Not that automatic all wheel drive 1000 hp bs, eating chips browsing your phone tying your shoes and being proud of how good of a driver you are
I would love to own either car. My first car was a Sierra 1.8l deathtrap that i gladly survived for six months until the MOT said, "STOP DRIVING THINS CAR!". it was a lot of fun being rear wheel drive, so throwing it around country lanes was a blast. These two old four pot gals have seen their day, but no driver can ever say they would not be proud to drive them.
I reckon the rs500 would've won if didn't lose power through 2nd or 3rd gear. Could've been the turbo like he said. I love the look of the rs500 out of these two, but still, they're both awesome cars. Glad people are still out there rocking the old school cars. Love it.
