Well since my roof was rotted through on my 86 Cutty she went to be parted out. Since then Ive gotten a 83 cougar. Mint condition 70,000 miles for $1000 not $12000 a g body sells for.
Now not throwing stones looking for actual scientific data. Who did it better
Weight 83 cutlass 3435
83 cougar 3164
Engines 307 140 hp 240 ftlb 5.0 carb
302 130 hp 240 ftlb 5.0 cfi inj
0-60 Cougar 10.2 17.6 quarter
0-60 Cutlass 12.0 19.2 quarter
Cougar msrp 11952.00
Cutty msrp 9175.00
Cutlass interchangeable engines 307 350 454
Cougar fox body platform shares most mustang aftermarket. Also interchangeable. 302 351 460
Why weren't these compared in further detail. Just think its funny they are almost exactly the same. I owned both. They handle almost exactly the same. The ride is identical. Brakeing are both terriable. Only positive ive seen is the cougar interior seems more 90s than 70s. Super comfortable buckets. Stereo both suck. Does have a nice center console that can be used as a cup holder. Just wondering why the Gbody claims the title of best front engine rear drive 80s muscle car? And the ford mercury are almost forgotten? Not throwing stones just wondering.
