Race cougar for sale, new and improved!

[Science Abuse]

It's that time of the month again, Eric's relisting the car. I've come to notice that I rarely have time or money for this car. It's time to sell and focus on a house....or a rally car.

 

I'm liquidating my whole road course racing operation. I haven't even had time to drive it lately, nevermind track days or installing my new toys. So no trades.

What yo get is a whole lot of stuff, but summarized you get;

-Strong 5.0 w/ TKO

-in a IRS turn-key caged smelly loud car

-a heap of parts to support the habbit of racing.

-$4000 obo

The last lapping event that the car made it to was Mid Ohio on the Club course. At the time, it was still an Auto, and had no 4th gear. It also had a 3.27 open diff, and was unable to acclerate out of turns, it just destroyed tires.

Despite these glaring problems, it still managed to lap consistently in the 1:45-1:50 range. Now, it will certainly accelerate out of corners, when I bought it (with a full interior) it would do a 1/4 mile in the low 13s.

5 forward gears means it will blast past the old 3speed 100mph ceiling, making the straightaways more useable.

Installing the new brakes will mean you can brake later and with more confidence.

 

This car is fast now, and has outstanding potential as a dedicated road course car. Buy it now and, if we can fit all the extra stuff in it, you can drive it home.
