Can I beat a...?
How fast is a Mercury Cougar V6? Faster than a stock 87 NA? Probably, huh? Damn...i hate it when shitty cars like Mercury's are faster than kickass cars like RX7's.
Thanks

Cougar? If it's an XR-7... ***** it up for me... what a rip off those guys at Mercury are... Screw them! Throw in Intake, Headers, Exhaust and you'll mess up a stock Cougar, if you can drive...

If I remember correctly, those V6 cougars(new ones) weigh about 3200 lbs. Thats nearly F body territory, what an overbloated pig. With a few basic mods, you shouldnt have too much of a problem with one. Im pretty sure they run mid to high 15's with a good driver.

The '99/2000 Cougar would be an interesting matchup. I don't really know who'd win. The MN12 Cougar on the other hand is a beast of a different color- specially if it's a 5 speed. The supercharged XR-7s=Thunderbird SC. Supercharged 3.8 liter V6. 240hp and over 310lb-ft of torque. It's pretty fast for a 3800lb car- and they built it right. It's RWD.
