It kicked off from Craig’s idea for our Greatest Fast Fords Ever issue (issue 304, May 2011) for the FF team to decide between pairs of fast Fords over the ages and give their views.
He then decided to find out what our readers think are the best performance Blue Ovals using the Poll function on Facebook – and it exploded from there!
Every fast Ford from the Lotus Cortina through rwd Escorts, Capris, even Orions to the latest Focuses and Fiestas were pitted against each other at random in a ‘World Cup’-style system, with our Facebook fans voting which is their favourite.
After over 50 Top Trumps-style head-to-heads and thousands of votes, it came down to a final pairing of the Escort Cosworth and Sierra RS500… and the winner is the RS500!
The EsCos got 40.1% of the vote, but the RS500 took the win with 59.9%.
