I hear you! I am thinking that the modified suspension was done by ST200 struts. I bought some that were sould to Bat by Ford when the Cougar S/ST200 in Europe were canceled. My stock Cougar handled the Autocross in Houston very well. I was one second behind a 96 Cobra on my fastest lap. I know it is more the driver than the car, but a good handleing car helps alot. I have also bought a 24mm rear sway bar. Hopeing to get my struts and sway bar on by summer with some new tires. Then hit the AutoX. Mercury still lists the HP as 170, but it says there is a new modified exhaust manifold. I am sure it wouldn't add to much HP but there should be some increase. I have only put an intake and cat back exhaust on mine because I have a warrenty through 75, 000 miles and headers would make it hard to get any work done under warranty. If I add Ford/Mercury parts it would still be covered and a free flowing exhaust manifold would increase the gains on my Intake/Exhaust.
