I don't have any data, but I'm guessing a 2002 Cougar and the Bugatti probably have similar horsepower numbers. | | | 07-17-2011, 03:39 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 | The description says it's "reliable" and "easy to work on and cost 'affordable'" Yeah. You can't trust those things as far as you can throw them, the engine has absolutely no space to work on, and parts are not cheap, the common things that go out on those range about $200-$800. And $89,000? There are some pretty fast Porsche's out there for that much. I have to be honest though, that is some pretty awesome ingenuity. | | | 07-17-2011, 10:56 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | Quote: Originally Posted by UberWagen The description says it's "reliable" and "easy to work on and cost 'affordable'" Yeah.

All I'm saying is I don't think $8900 is a bad price for that car and I figure a 10 year-old Cougar probably is down to about 110+bhp vs. 1100+bhp for a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Remove the last digit and 1100 becomes 110 ... similar. | | | 07-18-2011, 03:06 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: TX Posts: 107 | Quote: Originally Posted by MacUser No joke.
