Here are some of the pic from nopi.

why give your location away?

 

[wmbeaver]

Are you Wallace? If so, I was the kid(William) who told you to join these forums at that car meet in Alpharetta.

i can't believe someone put that much work into a cougar

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

No offense but that Cougar is God awful. My thing, why, when someone makes an "all show" car, do they feel urge to put every little nook and cranny that is popular on the car? Do you need front fender air ducts? Does a FWD car need a horrible huge shopping cart wing? And WTF is up with the paintjob next to the Cougar? Looks like the 80's took a s*** all over it and puked on it from the mere sight of such a terrible act.

 

[aMaff]

Please don't tell me you're one of the 'FWD can't use wings because they don't put power down to the rear wheels' people. Please.

That being said: that car definitely doesn't need it. But your argument sucked.

Exibit A:

I doubt that's on there for bling...

 

[BigB]

Dale, doesn't YOUR car have a big wing on the back of it?

 

[Velocifero]

Dale, doesn't YOUR car have a big wing on the back of it?

same wing as yours isn't it?

 

[BigB]

same wing as yours isn't it?

Yep, but I'm not the one talking smack...

 

[TinmanMS6]

Yep, but I'm not the one talking smack...

...and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's shocked.

"Hey, Brian's posting in a thread with 'NOPI' in the title. This should be good." I've never been more disappointed in you.

 

[Velocifero]

Yep, but I'm not the one talking smack...

didn't say you were, I was asking if it was the same, I thought they were different colors.

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Well all good arguements. HOWEVER... did I put that wing on there? Nope. Did that dumbass with the Cougar? I am sure he did.

Secondly, that 6 in the picture, I believe it's AWD (and if not, why the F*&# isn't it?).

My car's wing isn't big by any stretch of the imagination. If I had the extra cash (and I knew that my car was running soundly) I would've already purchased a CF trunk lid and replaced it sans the wing.

Yes Andrew, I am one of those people. Now I am not saying that EVERYthing on a car MUST be functional, but if it comes with a wing, great. Perfect example...

However, if you feel a need to add 20 lbs or more of weight to your car...

You deserve to be called on it.

I'm pretty sure it's not, for weight savings.

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Good call. Still, wouldn't the AWD make up for any weight gain?

 

[aMaff]

No, it's FWD. It's also just a regular 2.3L 4 cyl (well, if you want to call them regular), not the V6 or the turbo 4. They did that because the rules would penalize them in weight for having the extra go fast stuff.

The Cougar is hideous, everyone can see that. But the Cougar did come with a wing factory...not that one granted, but it did have one. Second, what 6 are you talking about?

 

[aMaff]

I think he's talking about the Tri-Point Motorsports SWC Mazda 6 that I posted.

 

[Boston5761]

Why are we even talking about this piece of s***? It's got more than a wing problem going on here...

 

[TinmanMS6]

Well, I'm guessing that, since this guy posted it, it's his car.

 

[BigB]

I just find it funny that Dale's panties got all in a HUGE ******* WAD when some people pointed things out on his buddy's VW and then he comes in this thread and totally starts ripping into the guy with the Cougar.
