Re: Wanna Go Fast

I appreciate everybodies inputs.....again I don't get to post much because I am in the middle of the ocean working on a lan that 5000 other ppl use at the same time. When I say I wanna go fast i never meant I wanna blow ppl out of the water. I just want a little more speed out of my car. Again i appreciate the inputs.

Re: Wanna Go Fast

if u want a little more speed and a better sound for a reasonable price intake headers and exhaust are ur best bet. like everyone said u will never get the cougar to be a rocket but its plenty of fun to drive. especially on winding roads.

Re: Wanna Go Fast

Shoot, man; a well-tuned 3.0 straight up will get you real close to a flat 14; probably a high 13 if you can really drive it...

Re: Wanna Go Fast

My friend has 95 Eclipse GSX and he upgraded the turbo to get around 300hp maybe a little more. (Also he spent around $8000 or so in new parts and labor) He kept the stock internals so he was limited in the amount of boost he could do and he also had a very short and quick 1st gear afterwards. It was quicker of course but now its just sitting at his house with motor issues I believe. So right now my Cougar can beat a GSX
