The 99 cougar is indeed under 3000lbs...however the 02 XR & ZN cougars are 3080lbs due to the improved interior quality and heavier leather/power seats etc and OEM 17" wheels.

However the cougar does have a 20% stiffer chasis. So a cougar would have an edge in an autoX event. However once again the driver is the most important factor here.

Also keep in mind that the cougar has a few SVT suspension parts including the SVT contour Brakes & rear Sway bar.


........so do i!
