TurboRust Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 cougar has a lot less problems, and you can get a 170 hp v6 instead of a 130 hp I-4 from the fuckus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash1647545504 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 My friend had a 2001 zx3, and me and him put an Aerocharger turbo kit on it. The thing was like a gocart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 turbo kits for the v6 cougar get you up in the 400whp range reliably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold it to a friend and now it's got over 110k miles and still going strong. My friend doesn't take good care of her though. But she's still doing good either way.

Bam Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I've got 3 focus's, all ZX3's and I have never had any problems with them up to 75k miles. I'm actually selling my 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 for $3000 obo now, PM me if you want my number to check it out. Good luck either car, the cougar is a bit small inside for my tastes.

SHIEF Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Better hope the Cougar never has any probs if it's the V6 model. Those things = the suck to work on. If you get a Cougar get the 4 cyl, I know it sucks but look at the 2 cars you gave us an option to choose from smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
