I do not know if I ever recall hearing you saying this was fast or a hardcore car? A FRICKIN DRIVER IS A DRIVER!! It doesnt gotta be fast! I realized when I had my 83 as my only car that if it was going to go anywhere performance wise, it could not be an only driver (it could, but making $5.60 at wendys getting 40 hours in two weeks compined was gunna be tuff). Nothing wrong with it as a daily driver. Heck, ill be flat out honest, when my turbocoupe was stock my friends 02 cougar woudl dust me! It was only on like 8 or 9 pound of boost, but thats besdie the point, it still beat me. My friends was prolyl a mid to low 15 second car stock. What where the stock turbocoupes and 5.0so's rated at? Good race stock for stock if you ask me ;)  A DRIVER IS A DRIVER, NOT a race car!!

i drive 46 miles round trip each day, I work at bax global out near the Toledo express airport. The 87 was not a practical choice for such a trip each day considering when i was driving it to work. I was dropping 40 dollars a week for gas, now some may consider that alot of money like myself. Some may not think much of 40 dollars worth of gas but in my book 120 dollars a month spent on gas is way to much. A 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder was my next option. so i went cougar when proposed with the choice between 4 door ZTS or 2 door 01 cougar.

I might be mistaken, but I think the 2001 Cougars had different headlights and front and rear bumper covers than the one you have.  Yours looks like a '99 or 2000.  Pics of the interior would confirm for sure.
