Maybe renamed as the new Cougar?

Hate the interiour though

Geez...I don't know about the "new Cougar"...

Maybe the new "Jetson-mobile"....

If they took a blowtorch to it and melted all the corners and angles, they might sell it to the boy-racer crowd... :shake:

BFU...I'll let you all figure that one out....maybe I'm silly, but why not spend some of the concept car money on refining some of the cars already out there...like our Marauder...

[MAD-3R]

Concept money has deliverd ford a patent for a device they are calling a "SuperCooler" Works by dumping AC refrigerant into a aircooler for the S/C on there 2004 lightning concept.

Think of it as a self contained, Factory installed, Nitrous kit that never needs recharging.

Hmm, why not rout fuel lines into a portion of this "Super Cooler" to cool the fuel as well. I remember drag racers used to have "cool cans" in their cars filled with ice to cool down the fuel and get a few more ponies that way....

I think it may have to do with vapor points of the fuels. Gasoline need to be vaporized, alchol will burn when liquid.

We still use them, fill em with dry ice.

Hell ya! I think this would be a great platform for the return of the Cougar! I am not totaly thrilled with the headlights, grill or dash, but I think it could be made into a great car. The side panels remind me of the Mustang, the roof looks like a vette. With the 4.6L V8 it could be a screamer if done right. I hope they produce it.
