really dam...too bad its snowing or else i would have raced already

 

I say give it hell. prove me wrong . Lol good luck be safe

 

il tell u this right now .....

i will try to rape him before he rapes me lol

 

That's the spirit!!!

 

i think it will be CLOSE!!!!!

btw its a XR7

its a 205hp, 280 ft lbs tq 3550lbs



ur 205hp 285 fl lbs tq 3440lbs

yall both peak at about the same RPM, but the triton V8's do not pull like the ole 302's

i have waxed a xr7 or that era, but im not stock too

 

My buddy had a 4.6 cougar. Fairly quick but nothing special. They are governed to 108mph i believe. His was. I think the 305 has a chance tho

 

it will be close, be i nice one to see, driver skill may be what makes the win

 

My buddy has one of those, he's got 3.7x's (whatever fords gearing is), a shift kit, bolt ons and it feels pretty fast...

 

Thats a 2 valve 4.6 right?
If so, You won if the Thirdgen is in good running order, and good tune.
I have a 94 MarkVIII with the 4valve aluminum mod motor. Its kinda fast. But the old fords get really tired. I think u can take him.

 

I think you'll beat him. Good luck and drive safe!

 

lol it is xr7 my mistake...i didnt know his specs now i feel better i thought he had like 260 hp or sometin ...

 

i waxed one with my old 3.8 v6 camaro you shouldn't have to much of a problem

 

well good luck either way, it will be close tho

 

My wife has a V6 2001 Cougar and it has pep to take off if you give it the gas but with that front wheel drive in the way, those things are dirt slow. Even the V8, it's not like they used to be. You will probably win with the TPI torque helping out but be safe my friend and don't do it with traffic around.

 

1) So I guess a 2008 Impala SS is dirt slow with its FWD "in the way", Cougar V6s are just plain slow

2) They never made a 2001 Cougar V8


The Cougar will win stock for stock.

 

I never said they made a V8 for the 2001 Cougar.
Yes, I think a heavy butt Impala SS is slow. That's my opinion. Front wheel drive is best for wet roads and snow but for racing I prefer rear wheel drive V8's. I think this guy's TPI will beat the old Cougar V8. Cougar's are really not fast, even with a V8. It's quick, not fast.

 

i like how 2001 cougers look they got a cool design ....i only drive fast when im in the farm areas because no traffic so it will be safe...and i think all impalas are good ...i mean IMPALA seriously classic car with a lot of respect and always turns heads...who cares about speed its an impala lol

 

Farm areas are filled with dear which can run out on you and total your car before you can look up. Don't ever think your safe just becase your out in the boondocks setting up for a quick jack. You will get jacked. Do not push your luck is my point.

 

^^
You wouldn't believe how many deer I've hit in everything but my 3rd gens. Usually in my big truck & plow truck I hit them on purpose, but I've even had a few run into me and ruin doors/fenders.

 

me and my girlfriend hit a dear in chicago suburbs one time and we were in her moms daewoo nubira the airbags came out we were going 35 mph lol

 

._.

 

Based on my experience, the 305 will win, but not by much. My 85, 305 TPI, A4, stock, I raced a similar T-Bird, and put a length on it by the end of first, then I stopped pulling. She didn't gain any ground on me after that either. If it were the XR7 (SC version, not that they were made that year, but), it could be bad for the lil 305 from a dig.

 

Wow, you must be a highly intelligent individual, WTF....

 

The convertibles are a bit heavier unfortunately... what does your car weigh? around 3,400 lbs? Do you still have your RPO sticker in the center console? I'd be interested in seeing what options you have before making an opinion on the race outcome... What gears do you have? If you have atleast the GU5 code (3.23 gears) I'd say you might pull out the win.

 

Bro i'm a huge fan of your videos That 305 kicks ***.

 

yes they are heavier but by how much? yes 3.23 posi and g-force track and street tires....

 

a couple hundred lbs.

 

I actually raced an XR7 Cougar back when my car was bone stock. It gave me a run for my money but I did manage to beat him by a small margin. It was a roll race from about 30 mph.

 

Being the correct year your Lb9 5speed should rape him! Traction baby....

 

im racing him today after i help him move...the weather in chicago is 40 degrees today ..finnally going out with TA
