A fox in the Targa? That's awesome and aweful at the same time. I wanted to have the first fox in the Targa Newfoundland. :(

Yeah, that's awesome, though. :D

I've thought about turning a 4-eye Cougar into a rally car. I've thought about a lot of things though.
I'm quite interested in what power/drivetrain option he chose. Did he modify the suspension?

The only rally-oriented Fox Mustang I've heard of ran a 351W and a 3-link rear. The driver would win events with it.


Regarding the Cougar...no experience?

I'd put my money on a mechanical or wreck..

Yeah, it says somewhere in the article that it runs a 3.8. I shook my head when I read that. It's still cool, though.

That is similar to the paint scheme I was going to do up on my '86. With a thinner red stripe though.
