Science Abuse Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Compare: http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11619 The cougar WILL be faster then this with the same hp. Given that the cougar has an engine and trans, and is 1/2 the price, it's a no-brainer. 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 Still reading? Good, here is the long list of what you're getting; The Car 1991 Mercury Cougar XR7 5.0 EFI V8 / TKO By Lasota Racing Technologies. 4 wheel disc IRS Gutted interior S&W Gage Engine: 10k miles, all miles after break-in have seen mobile one Block: fully machined (deck squared, line honed, balanced) ARP wave lock rod bolts ARP main Studs FMS oil pump with hardened ARP shaft Crane cams double roller Timing chain FMS f-303 cam shaft Heads: Ported E7te castings Multi-angle valve job Milled to 58cc chambers TFS double valve springs TFS chromoly locks and retainers Teflon valve stem seals ARP head bolts Intake: FMS cobra upper and lower intake manifolds FMS 65mm throttle body SN95 70mm air meter with custom cold air intake and K&N filter Exhaust: MAC 1 1/2\" primary shorty headers (chrome) Off-road Downtubes (2 1/2\") 2 1/2\" Thrush mufflers, dumped Cooling system: Pep-boys 3-core radiator Fuel system: BBK 190lph in-tank fuel pump flow-matched 19lb injectors Drive Line: TKO 5spd trans & fresh clutch FMS aluminum center section with 4.30 gears One Piece Aluminum drive shaft included Ignition: Crane HI-2000 ignition Crane fireball coil FMS 9mm plug wires Optima Red top battery relocated to the passenger seat pan in NHRA legal box with battery cut of switch misc: A/C and Smog pump (and equipment) removed Interior totaly gutted, only drivers seat remains (passenger seat available) Comes with Kirkey aluminum bucket and seat cover/pad G-force 5 point 6pt roll cage Custom tube framed dash with aluminum skin (all you need, nothing you dont. Carbon Fibre dash shell included, never got around to mounting it) Autometer Phantom water temp and oil pressure gauges Suspension: Factory IRS (comes with spare reinforced subframe and aluminum lower control arms.) Eibach Pro kit Rear lateral brace Wheels/brakes: Rolling on OE 16x7.5 with good 245/50/16 tires comes with; -4 Cobra R replica rims, 17x9 -4 98 cobra rims Cobra 13" brake upgrade kit for front wheels. Includes front hub conversion (what the 98 wheels are for) -2 16x7.5 SC rims with BFG Comp T/As -4 street tires for 17" rims -4 DOT race slicks for 17" rims. 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. Pictures of anything are available apon request, just give me an e-mail adress. $4000obo (if you wanna do the 2007 challenge, maybe we can work on th epaperwork ) Pics: Seen with 16" street going wheels http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3766/sidero0.jpg Unspecting look, aye? http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/3338/frontwk3.jpg Low, but not too low for your jack http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9615/rearzx4.jpg Layered Carbon Fiber dash shell.

Science Abuse Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Damn that dash is lookin rough lol what kinda #'s is it doing? I haven't dragged it, I bought it for road course lapping days and AutoX. BUT, the previous owner did, it even comes with a set of Comp TAs and rims. With a full interior, full tank of gas, and a slipping AOD it was a 13.5 and under car. It's shed a shitload of weight and now sports a TKO, so expect it to improve.

If I somehow get rid of .....4 or more of the cars I have....and you still have this....I'll let you know. Good luck on the sale, I'm not a fan of these cars, but this one could turn me.
