Nice try? A few Contour SVT swapped parts?

Was interesting.

Looks and drives amazing but you cant park it?

NECO People call them SVT Cougar's when they put a svt engine in it.

 

[CanSVT]

was my assumption (200hp) but he does not note it sadly. I bet it would be a fun ride.

had no clue the fsvt rims looked so good on a cougar:drool:

cheap fix...not like the parking brakes on these cars aren't known to suck.

if you don't know how to park it without the e-brake then you shouldn't be driving.

I know it's an old topic but i was just thinking today how it was too bad they killed the "Cougar S" project.....oh well

Just be sure to get it fixed before inspection rolls around I guess or the next time you get pulled over.

You get inspected on whether your e-brake works? Once again, glad I've never had to deal with that BS. Never had an officer ask me if my e-brake works either... :shrug:

My cougar is more SVT than that one is. I have the SVT engine (mostly), clutch, flywheel, struts, springs, and E1 wheels on my Cougar already. I've even been thinking of putting an SVT exhaust on it :laugh:

Its a safety feature and in Texas at least you get failed if it doesnt stop and hold the car like it should. Not having one at all would certainly raise a flag faster than just about anything.

 

[TGO]

what cops ask if the parking brake works when you get pulled over?

 

[Dyoel182]

I've never had one ask but I did get in trouble midway through a brake swap when I shut off the car and put it in gear to hold it and the policeman asked me to please keep my engine running and I had to explain my parking brake wasnt working.

 

[DanMyers]

Well, how loud was it barking? Haha jk.

 

[LocoLobo]

love the fsvt rims, looks great

 

[LilCe98]

It actually looks pretty good. I would buy it if I had the money

seems like i remember hearing that some cougar near the last yr of production got 200hp duratecs but wasn't really marketed at all :shrug:

The Cougar S was slated for production, but it was NEVER PRODUCED.

That's the biggest piece of misinformation in the CDW-27 field.

The Cougar S was just going to be a Cougar with a complete SVT Contour powertrain.

the only cougar s is the concept car and its owned by ralph lauren

No, that's the Cougar S Concept. Totally different than the actual Cougar S which was planned for production.

Cougar S Concept - all-wheel drive, 3.0L Duratec.
Cougar S - front wheel drive, 2.5L SVT.
