Heck man I want them both! This is tough for me. I flipped a coin & I'm going sideways in my Escort. :arf:
I'm with Crashton! Its a hard toss up again... You've got the Lancia thats more bruit force point it in the general direction, stomp the pedal, and hope it goes there... Or the Escort which os more nimble and less darty. Which one would I want to drive... I'm going with the Ford... No need for me to turn a priceless relic of a Lancia, into a worthless pile of rubble!
I'm voting for the Escort because for me it just represents a time when rally cars basically looked like the cars people drove daily.
The Stratos moves on with an 8-3 victory. Next round.... Colin McRae's 1995 Group A Impreza 555 Walter Röhrl's 1982 Opel Ascona 400
Opel Ascona, love the RWD rally cars. The way it was before Audi ruined rally with AWD. Walter sure could peddle one. In fact Walter can peddle anything.
