How would an FD compare against....

[Nik da Greek]

They\'re almost identical in the effects they\'ll have; you\'ll be on first name terms with the local RAC man, bloke on the motor factor parts counter, and your bank manager. Only real difference is the Rex looks more stylish on the hard shoulder with its hazards on...

Doesn\'t the Esprit use the gearbox out of some Renault or something, and now they\'ve stopped making them or the parts to rebuild them? That\'s not going to help much!

I remember 5th gear trying to make one go 200mph!

They upped the boost etc.....it fell aprt on them each time they attempted it.....gearbox, turbo\'s, engine....all went kablamooooh!

I had an Esprit turbo whilst at Uni....fantastic car!  One of the best looking cars, and chicks did dig the car!
 
Things started going wrong with it though....and thats when you realise what supercar ownership is all about, and going fast isnt the top of the list, passion is...cos without it you would soon hate the car!  Almost bought one recently, but I think the Rx just has that edge that the Lotus didnt..plus Ive now loads of spare parts for when it goes wrong!!!
