Does the Cougar say "Cougar" on its side?Not at all.....as long as we remember our own cars were guilty of the same short comings at one time and this "styling" cue (or flaw depending how you choose to view it) isn't exclusive to Chevy alone.
My intent was not to flame anyone's car, so I apologize for the misunderstanding, SS02. As for the badging post, probably off topic. Like it's already been mentioned, the Mustang has had the same crap plastered all over it in the past.
My only intent with my first reply was to pose the question that if a 62k Camaro is being compared to a 48-50k Mustang....then why not do the reverse and compare the GT500 to the SS. That was the point I was trying to bring up.
Nevertheless, it doesn't necessarily matter how much your ride costs, it's the driver and how he drives his car, and like they say, run what you brung, at the track of course. But posting a video on any car forum such as this or on the LS1 forums is probably going to bring heated debate and/or criticism from both sides - a lot of people are loyal to their brand, but that doesn't constitute flaming someone else's ride. We all choose our cars for our own reasons, and should probably be grateful that for the first time in over 3 decades we have a muscle car from each American automaker, because who knows how long that will last. All 3 are great cars and each has its own niche. And besides, competition never hurt anything, it's nice to know Ford has some now so they don't slack.
On a positive note...called the dealership, my car will be here some day between tomorrow and next Tuesday, and while I wish I had an exact date, at least I know it's finally on its way
Nope....nothing at all on the sides from what I recal actually....aside from a small chrome cat head decal next to the rear quarter panel. Otherwise, just a small "Cougar XR-7" on one side of the rear reflector panel of the trunk and "Mercury" on the other. The letter are no bigger than an inch and a half tall. As the matter of fact, the chrome "SCT" badge I've got on the right corner of the trunk lid is probably the most prominant badge on the car? I've actually had to tell more people that not what kind of car it was.Does the Cougar say "Cougar" on its side?
It is to bad Ford never came out with a serious 2 seater .. that way we could get a good Viper, Vette, Ford ...battle..Ohh well ...Maybe when the Camaro gets into a full swing they will have a car in the Koni series ....
Thought they took care of that with the Ford GT? It put both the Viper and the Vette on the trailer if you recal?
Guess GM should thank Hollywood for putting the car into 2 Transformers movies or it probably would have never happened.
The shelby gt500 is not fords supercar, it is infact a shelby gt500 not ford gt500. The ford gt (which would put all your "super" chevys to shame) WAS fords supercar. Ford no longer has a "supercar". The camaro sucks dude, sorry. A whopping 111hp more than gt and it can barely out muscle the puny 4.6L? Thats pathetic. Almighty brembo brakes and it just marginally out-stops the cheap stock fords brakes? PATHETIC! A fully "sophisticated" suspension and it DOESNT handle better than the mustangs out dated suspension??? PATHETIC PATHETIC! And you have to pay more for this "superior" car?! WOW! Youd have to be a flaming tard to think the camaro is a better vehicle. Ill take my 'ol slow gt over a slomaro anyday! Because in the end I know the mustang will still be around for YEARS to come where as chevy will have to stop making the camaro AGAIN because they just dont have what it takes to compete with the mustang. Thats right THEY CANT COMPETE! So once again chevy+camaro=FAIL! Lol silly chevy guy real cars made by ford.
