My Dad had a Plymouth GTX way back when. Said it was fun (you could burn rubber for two blocks, according to him, on the cheap hard tires you got with the car) but not exactly a sports car. Not bad looking, for a muscle car...

Would have been great if it was a video of a Cosworth Escort - 0-60 in 3.9 secs...

Cosworth rs escorts are cool, but who has 25g's to drop on a used one, and then shipping to get it over here. Think realisticly!

If you were thinking realistically (note the spelling), you would not have a 14 second Escort.
