If I had to do it all over again, I'd have never bought the Cougar and either kept my 95 V6 Stang and twin turbo'd it or got a early 90s 240sx. Miata's are good little cars and have more boost options that the Zetec. I'm not a fan of superchargers on a I4 engine or on any engine, period. Any bolt on turbo will give you more power for the money than a bolt on super, and supers make no TQ compared to a turbo at the same boost. The Zetec will run 300whp on a stock block, BUT you have to run 110 octane, won't do much past 230whp on 93octane. Just do your research, the Miata's are good little cars, with strenghts and weaknesses, do a lot of research before you decide to buy. 2000 Rio Red I4 Cougar 200whp & 210wtq at 9psi 254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot WRX TD04 Turbo, Cut Short Shifter, Strut Tower Bar, 17" ZN Wheels, Roush Springs, Starion Intercooler, NX 35 shot, HKS SS BOV, Full 3" exhaust,StreetFlight Chip

He put a Ford 302 engine, Borg-Warner T-5 tranny, and a custom drive shaft to an RX-7 rear end. I can't exactly remember times or anything, but I do remember thinkin " I want one. " and I still do to this day. Maybe when I hit 35 or so I'll give it a shot... I would stick with what works, but remember that there's a reason they call it a "Power to weight" ratio. The Ford 302 put out around 225 Horsepower stock in it's last few years IIRC. 92 Talon TSi AWD DSM= Daily Scheduled Maintenence

I was wanting to try something new, but it's way too much and I'm way too amateur right now to go for it. I'm thinkin I might just go after one of the 10th Anniversary ones. it would make a decent replacement for the tour. I ran a search already! 99 Ford Contour SVT - SOLD!!
