1988 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Burnout

[BeulahLips]

Is this all the same white XR7? Is this with the T5 in it? Here it sounds like an automatic shifting at around 5 and 12 seconds in the clip....

I was asking this because you have clips of a white XR7 with THREE different hoods, and some of them it clearly has a 5 speed as is evidenced by the coffee break your big canadian buelah lips are taking between shifts.

Or are you saying you're so amped up on coffee and meth that you're really shifting 1-2-3 that quickly and smoothly in this clip? :)

[BeulahLips]

Where did you get that hood? Was it factory? I have an 88 XR7...

[1WLDBRD]

@BeulahLips I made it actually. I still have it laying behind my garage still too LOL

[BeulahLips]

@1WLDBRD Is it all steel, all glass, or glass on top of the stock steel? Wanna sell it? I'm in Las Vegas...

Can you bring it to me? Or how about just bring the whole car to me? :o) (BTW, do you still have the car?)

RU in Vanc.?

[1WLDBRD]

@BeulahLips all steel. all welded too. no I aint bringing it to you and no I dont have the car and no it isnt in vancouver

@1WLDBRD i have a 88 cougar how much do i need to come up with to get the hood shipped to me? fuck bringing to me shipped cash money talking straight business here

[1WLDBRD]

@thebadone1986 sorry man it would be more then it is worth. If you ever are in the area though you can have it.

[thebadone1986]

@1WLDBRD alright doubt i will be heading that way anytime soon you ever plan on selling and shipping it hit me up would be glad to figure something out

[naterade21]

very nice car

[1WLDBRD]

@naterade21 Thanks. I definatly miss that car. check out my other vids of it on the track. I later swapped a 5 speed in.

[naterade21]

@1WLDBRD i used to have a 2000 cougar she was decent i was gonna put a svt 3.0 motor in er tho

[1WLDBRD]

@naterade21  That would have woke it up. I have read about that swap. only problem with it? can you say torque steer? LOL. FWD sucks.

[naterade21]

@1WLDBRD lmao yes it does cant even do a brake stand with em

[1WLDBRD]

that is with the stock 10" drum brakes. I have never done the disc conversion on it. if you want info on that check out coolcats.net

[fordislife1]

[chef979]

cougars dont get the respect they deserve, next summer im going to put rice Killer sticker in my back window..

[serge171]

they really dont, i got one and all my friends bash it for being an "old man car" they dont seem to get itll smoke 99% of whats out there

[fordfreak93]

y last winter shell ever see

[1WLDBRD]

becuase I stopped winter driving it. Car was in too nice of shape to ruin with salt... Sold it to someone else that is never going to winter drive it either.

[BIKERJAKE74]

Thats what I took my drivers exam in. State trooper was so tall he almost did not fit in it.

[newmanto03]

yea mine was positive end, but right now i still have a 1988 5.0 ford thunderbird and spins with both back wheels too. i just thought that thats how this cars come like stock, cause that how i got both of them so it was weird that your didn't spin with both rear wheels

[newmanto03]

i had a 1988 cougar xr7 5.0 and mine spinned with both rear wheels why not yours

[damiangoodnight]

Because you had a posi rear end and this one has limited slip

[1WLDBRD]

are you blind? that is two wheels! Every burnout in this thing was posi. This car had the 8.8" Rear end with traction loc.. watch all my vids of it.

[bpowersman5000]

Hey man, its 86XR7Project from the Tbird/Cougar forum. Nice burnout. Love your XR7!

[Echoboy2002]

Heh heh. Nice.

[god409]

[1WLDBRD]

thanks guys, I am planing to hit the track with it again tonight to see what she will do with the 5 speed installed... If I do I will get it videoed and upload it...

[pursuit989]

[wofobo]
