Overall Performance
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth has a stock top speed of 257 km/h (160 mph) which is average in Class C. The car has strong acceleration and an average nitrous output. The handling of the vehicle is very grippy and responsive, even at high speeds, which allows for the car to corner at fairly high speeds.

For Pursuit Outrun and Team Escape the Escort can perform well. Because of its responsive handling, it is able to dodge oncoming police vehicles such as Rhinos for instance. Its narrow body, also allows for it to easily thread through roadblocks. The Escort is average in terms of weight, as it light enough to be brought to a halt when confronting a speeding Rhino unit, but heavy enough, to smash through roadblocks and traffic. Also due to the acceleration that the Escort has, it can regain any lost speed fast.
