ive always liked them

boostinss · Post by **boostinss** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 5:39 pm

how are they performance wise and modding wise?
the only bad thing about this one is that it is yellow...i think it may be a little to girly

hmm v6 dohc 170 hp What not good performance ?

How old is it, 10K sounds a little high.

I had one and was very into the modding scene. If you are getting one be prepared to prob replace the Alternator and fuel pump. Also they are very heavy and even with mods are hard to get over 200 hp cheap. Dont get me wrong I loved the car but if your buying it to be fast its not worth it. 10k is to high most go for $6k around here.

im just looking for an entry car that i can learn manual with.

its the same v6 out of the svt contour. one of my friends has one and its faster than my mtx sxt, but slower than the srt....

No the SVT motor is like the Magnum. It has 30 more HP and includes diff. upper and lower intake manifold, tb and so on

Cougars are alright, I'd try hitting on the younger crowd first, but if you're stuck there are some alright cougars depending on the bar you go to.

those cats are awesome! I've been telling the wife to let me get one, mush scarier then a dog.

Oh, you ment the car....well....its a ford, dont do it. They can be made to look good but if you like the look of that style car go with a Tibiron(sp), more Hp and better looking!

I own a Tiburon.. Don't EVER EVER EVER Buy one.. It's one slow ass hunk of shit. Terrible car. Replaced the A/C, Power Windows, Power Locks, Sun Roof Motor, the paint is peeling off, oh god I hate that car.. GTV6 is one of the most overrated cars ever.

I'm 6' tall and I have to drive with the sun roof open or I hit my head on the roof.. ridiculous/

I think they taste like pork and sometimes gamie but ketcup and gravy can fix just about anything.

The only good cougar is a dead cougar.

I even looked at one, for about a second before my eyes started burning.

I would not rock one.

I think they need some massive work to be drivable, like a completely new body, engine, everything.

Seriously, though, I do not like the new style cougar - old cougar now, FTW!

Cougars? You mean like this?

1967-1969>1990's era.

my mom drives an 02 its pretty nice. Its the "CA edition" so its spiffed up compared to the standard one.

There's one I see about everyday after work with spinners... Gay as hell.

A friend of mine used to own a 5spd, I drove it for awhile... not bad, but sure as hell didn't get up and go.

Mercury Cougars. I thought they looked nice the first time I saw one, then I realized how ugly and slow they are.
Don't buy a $10k car, JUST to learn how to drive a manual on.
Tiburons look way better than the Cougars IMO. *New ones on both sides*
