He seems to have a realistic goal, just wants to complete the event(I hope he's replaced the HGs on that 3.8)  :rolleyes: ...

Guessing he has a fresh engine???

Why is the car not looking shorter to me?



Look at the distance between the rear of the door and the front of the rear wheel opening. The door also looks shorter. He's taken a good 10" out of the wheelbase. That's now a two-seater Cougar.

I hope he isn't gonna keep those hubcaps on it for the rally :hick:

I think its awesome as well as funny that he's entering a cougar.  they don't remind me of a sports car (although I know better) so with the front grill, the caps match.  to me its like a rally sleeper ha.

Paul (Thundergrowl) goes to that event I think... Maybe he can get some shots of the car and talk to its owner...

Yeah! I'll have to check it out.
 
I've pondered about entering the touring class myself but the price is too high for me. Just think of the improvments $4K could do to the TC. Plus you have to pay for hotels, meals, fuel, etc.

They're showing Targa Newfoundland on Speed right now. The cougar ended up going into a wall.

Yeah, I remember seeing that a month or two back. I think I remember an 'also ran' about the Cougar. Did they even show a shot of it after the crash?
