Welcome!

They are nice cars, as long as it has been well maintained. The v6 isn't going to win any major races but is a decent engine.
...and there was light!

i am not very sure, because The V6 is very customisable... the cougar 1992 v6 have a turbocharger aceptable and exist some mustang v6 3.8 very fast.

that idea a ethanol v6 turbocharger...

:Burnout:

Descartes taught us "I think therefore I am". This cougar is not a thinking thing...how can it...be? But there it sits, existing in space time. Now--

Hello and welcome.

Ive been wondering about a 3.8 with a 5 speed swap for a daily driver.  Wonder what the mileage would be??

I would guess similar to a mildly driven 5.0.
