So did I, amazing sex, even if they were a bit crazy
I like the Mercury emblem, the front waterfall grill and the interior treatment (Lincolns were too gaudy and baseline Fords are OK, just not the same as a Mercury). For example, the Mariner is so much more refined than the Escape (imho). I just think Mercury gave people that middle ground that doesn't exist anymore. I also think Ford could have made Mercury into a different segement than Ford or Lincoln (make it the car, wagon and sports car brand). Maybe I am just nostalgic about the brand. And I certainly would not equate Mercury to Buick.
His favorite car ever is a 69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator. I told him to wait 25 years and he will be able to buy them for a dime a dozen.

For what it's worth if I had a dedicated drag car it would be an auto.

My mom's cousin had a Mercury, I'd love a Cyclone personally, though whats stopping them from remaking a more refined version Mustang and making it a Lincoln Cougar?

Honest question because I don't know: Does Ford have a manual transmission that can handle the GT500's torque output right now? Because if not, the development dollars for that would be a reason why.
Regardless if I was choosing I'd take the GT350 over the 500. I'll take the lighter car with the flat plane crank.

that is a sweet car. I still remember the first time I ran across one of those, at a Manchac Mustang, a mustang junkyard and repair shop near me, around 1998.

probably, but maybe not with enough of a safety margin for them to be comfortable with it.

No it won't
Nothing, but I think Ford lost a lot of heritage when Mercury died. How am I gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise up and down this a road (see Steve Miller Band)

I only notice older folks in them, except for an occasional cougar coupe
