So this will be what your looking for

the road car performance was just a bit better than standard and they came in only black !!!!

there were a few who paid the optional money to get white but they are very very very rare

A good example today is about �15,000 to �18.000 but a serious low millage will be a lot more

thanks alot for that John. Geez those things were bloody beasts. Wish I could afford one. Maybe an rs2000 escort but any car would do me right now.

I seen picks of a road car of these tuned to over 500bhp and do 0-60 in 3.62 second THATS MCLAREN TERRITORY!!!!!!!

I bet a few Imprezza and EVO owners got a shock that day !!!!

Cobra,these cars had over 600 hp for qualifying,but raced with less (around 500).392 black road cars were built by Tickford,52 Moonstone blue and 56 White cars.Race cars were built from motorsport shells with no sunroof and roadcar "bits" left off.I estimate that there were at least 500 motorsport shells produced.There is an Eggenberger RS500 engine in the Discovery Centre at Geelong.
