Country Squire Wagon Cobra competition
Mental 12y ago
Back when wagons were popular in the USA...
Well, I would never suppose this wagon has anything similar to the word 'performance'. It looks so ordinary, even pretty much boring, but hell, it is called 'Cobra' and produces 425 ponies! Carrying a wood panel! This wagon could compete with the European supercars the same era in terms of acceleration and top speed! Crazy old-good times...
But now everything come opposite - the top performance estates are European, or to more exact, German. Today Americans haven't any proper modern analogue to compete with Europeans. Only Magnum SRT8, which is out of production already (shame, I loved those things) and CTS-V Wagon, which is a fail. And I think time to revenge and put some big HEMIs, LSAs and.. some big Ford's engines into big American estate wagons. That would cool, the competition in wagon's class would be even more exciting.

More crazy wagon coming! This engine wasn't available on standard option. Instead, you can only order Country Squier with 427 FE as dealer installed option including heavy duty suspension and Ford Top Loader 4 speed manual with a ratio range from 3.25 to 4.11 final. Thought you still can using standard overdrive transmission on this car.
