Dear RS200,
I'm sorry to tell you, but you
were not Ford's best rally car. The Mk 2 Escort is so, so much
deserving of our passion. The little sedan, with a short and narrow
wheelbase and a soft suspension, is the stuff rally dreams are made of.
It's like a Mini with a trunk/boot.
The way it corners, it sways
around, the way it over-steers, the swaying motion of the suspension in
corner... it shows flow, passion, life.
Just look at it through
an S-curve... it's like a woman's hips walking towards you. Pure,
unadulterated mechanical sound and moves. You cannot beat that. Sure,
you are one of the most technically advanced Group B rally car, but that
doesn't mean a thing. The coldness of the 4x4 system, the lack of body
roll, the absurd numbers(speed, power, torque, acceleration) are all
nice, but when it's all done, you don't see the heart in there.
It's
like a lingerie model. Sure, she looks very pretty and many dream of her, but
wouldn't you rather go home to the love of your life, that little,
imperfect for others but perfect for you, wife of yours?
Sincerely,
A very, very happy fan,
PS: Don't be sad, we still love you for what you are.
