Hello All! My name is Garland and I just got a 2001 Cougar V6(Pics tomorrow)!! This car is awesome in all possible ways!! My previous car was a 2000 Ford Focus Sedan(Short-Ram Intake/Shorty Headers/Cat-Back Exhaust/Chip/Lowered) which I totaled(going around a corner too fast with slippery roads will get you a broken axle, may she rest in peace). It had the i4 Zetec engine in it, the same as in the Cougar but a little less powerful. Anyways this car kicks some much more ass then the Focus. Great looks, great handling, great power(you think you're going 35 but when you glance down you're at 60!!), and last but not least the awesome interior and huge trunk space, and the leather seats are somethin' comfortable. I can't say that I like the Cougar, I have literally fell in love with it! Not gonna be stock for long either as soon as I got home from the dealership I was on ebay. I got me a AEM Short-Ram in the mail! Next mod will be a chip(my ATX focus had a superchip in it and it did wonders for the driveability, so I'm hoping for a repeat performance)This car is awesome and this site!! I'm gonna go sit in my car now, Peace ya'll.
