    Talking The Mercury Bugatti Veyron.

    What a steal at only $89K for a exotic supercar that won't hang with my 4cyl Fusion.

    "I get so many questions asking how fast is the car. My best reply is fast enough"

    Well damn! That's fast enough for me! Autobahn, here I come!!!

    I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

    so, 1/10th the price, for 1/1,000,000th the car.

    Winning.


    I'm pretty sure I could buy a cougar for 2,000 and have a shop do that for $20K more tops.


    Certainly is proud of it...

    On the bright side, the workmanship does look pretty good, far above some of the fieroarri or the fieroghini kits out there... What puzzles me is, the whole reliable and 2.5L part used in the same sentence. Isn't that the same 2.5L from the svt contour roughly?

    I don't know if you'd want to go too fast! Wind and vibration may peel it like a banana!

    The Cougar motor is the same as a regular Contour v6, the svt was higher performance. Had 2 svts a few years ago, good cars.

    Ahh... did the regular motor have the same problem of running out of oil when turning right? Should've at least done the 3L swap...

    Despite how tacky I think the idea is, I have to give that credit where it is due.

    That's some AMAZING craftsmanship for the clean and "factory"-looking appearance that car.

    Nothing like cruising the avenue in your 100 HP "Fauxgatti"......
    That ranks up thier with the Fiero -> Ferrari conversion kits...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/233160...-pontiac-fiero
    You cna even get a 'Ferrari' logo for your GM 2.8L V6 intake manifold....to fool every admirer!
    and is just slightly ahead of the "Make your C5 Corvette look like a '53 Vette" kits......
