14? Yeah, right. Four, yes four, Imprezas, two Lancer Evos and two Skylines.
The Skylines are identical twins, same power, weight and acceleration. Ok,
the Imprezas are different, ranging from 215 to 276bhp and the Evos are
close on 60 bhp apart.
Check out the times for the Escort Cosworth - 0-30 in 16.9, 0-100 in 2.2?
Who was driving it? H G Wells?
Best thing is that although the 20v Ur quattro was the oldest car in the set
and has covered 87k miles, it didn't come last.
