Mercury Cougar

It is very exciting to see the Mercury Cougar in the new Gamescom trailer. I have not seen a NFS game with one yet. I can not wait to customize this car!

    I was there back in the days and everyone was buying Chevy, Fords, or Oldsmobile.

    Also, it was not the fastest car either. 

    I'll  inform you of one good thing the 1970 Cougar Eliminators were recorded to have been equipped with Boss 429s from the factory.

    The 1970 models also got an increased gear ratio of 3.25:1. 

    This gave the car handling capabilities over the base Cougar models but comparable to other muscle cars on the market.

    Still was not the fastest but a fun car to own and drive.

    Thanks for sharing your likes about this car.

    Regards

    Yeah. most muscle cars had a lot of power but the main weak points were the amount of gears and the gear ratios. They got up and went but they were not very fast.
