On my way to work a 2000+ cougar v-6 pulled up to me young guy driving had a few girls in the car well he throw some revs at me I was surprised he did that so I was thinking it was blown, NOS something. This is a LONG light I think the cougar was an Auto he was holding the brakes and the gas at the same time. Light turns green I stomp on it I chirped the tires and took off and that was all she wrote he’s 2 car behind me off the jump and I went to 60 (in a 55) let up he did the fly by. All I could tell for mods was a muffler the size of a paint can.

 

my friend has one of those v6 cougars and ive driven it a few times. those things are slow as hell, 2nd gear is next to no acceleration too, the only thing i liked about the car was the woosh it makes when it shifts (almost sounds like a BOV). good kill though

 

i've never driven the newer cougar, but i was in one, and it didnt seem too slow. im sure the car full of girls weighed it down a little. all in all, its cool wen a dude revs, u beat him, and then he has to think of excuses to tel the girls why he lost.

They're slow. They need all the they can get.

 

Yeah, those Cougars suck. They are Ford equivilant to the 3rd gen Eclipse IMO.

 

Yea, but he said it had a big muffler. Isn't that good for like 75 hp?
I just looked up the 2000 v6 cougar and it has 165 hp. I must be thinking of a different car.

 

At least. Depends if he has the Cold air intake as well. If he does, your looking at about a 150hp gain right there. At least low 11's in the quarter.

 

Ohh ya, that's right. It's a Ford.

Slap on a few bolt-ons and your doing 11's!!
