The question is, does this 964 fall under that category? Sure, it’s sexy as hell (if a bit unsubtle), but at what practical cost (if any)?

How good does the Escort RS Cosworth still look?
•July 13, 2010 • Comments Off on How good does the Escort RS Cosworth still look?On the other hand, we love the sight of the Mk1 Focus RS doglegging it through corners, in classic FWD fashion.
Completely unsurprised that it’s slower overall than the Cossie, however.

Assorted grab bag of stuff we like
•July 12, 2010 • 9 CommentsAnother week, another grab bag. Can you believe we’re past the halfway mark in the calendar year already?
No further commentary necessary, so let’s get right to it.
RSR perfection
•July 9, 2010 • 2 CommentsWe can stare at that massive rear wheel arch – and the fat tire to which it gives cover – forever. Such a nice color, too (although to be frank, which color isn’t?). Absolutely mesmerizing.

Monticello Motor Club to pull an about-face?
•July 8, 2010 • 3 CommentsGot the following scoop in our inbox today from the PDA driving club:
We have been notified by [the Monticello Motor Club] they will not be open for club rentals after this season so make sure you get your chance to drive on this private motorsports club.
If true, then that’s a bummer. At about 80 miles northwest of New York City, the MMC is the closest track to us, and one we were planning on hitting up at least once every year. We’ll still have a few other places we can go, but the ~ 4 mile long course there is pretty special, considering its proximity to home.
A few pics from a track day last year:
