My old Cougar! (The car)


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share my old 1999 Cougar with you guys!

 

This was the very first car I modified so it will always be missed.

 

The Cougar would run mid to low 14's but it was built more for handling/autocross. When I would corner hard and hit the corner right the rear wheels would come off the ground so that was sweet! With the subframe connectors the car was pretty low, I'd scrape on speed bumps and parking lot ramps if I went too fast/ not enough angle. Anyways pics

I do have a few older videos! This was before GoPro days but they're not bad!

 

This is my exhaust video after I had the 3L installed.

And a few autocross videos. This was when the only suspension mod was lowering springs so no 3 wheeling.. Looks close at some parts but it's hard to see with the video quality. There is some footage of other Cougars 3 wheeling with stock suspension! It's somewhere out there

Thanks guys! Yeah I wish I would have kept her too. I got to the point where I was worn out from it and sick of dealing with all the little issues, squeaks, rattles etc. I think that's why I got rid of it but it would have been an awesome weekend car.

 

I've seen a few around car shows but not very many to be honest, Mustangs were all the Ford really pushed for preformance cars in that era. Mval you would have loved the SVT contour! Same platform, manual, 200hp V6. Part of me wants to pick one up as a toy.
