1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7
The seventh-generation Mercury Cougar XR-7 battled with its palindromic nemesis – the Mazda RX-7 – in the IMSA GTO class. The Cougar had won the series in 1989 with driver Pete Halsmer, who switched over to import rival Mazda in 1990. Halsmer was replaced by a young Robby Gordon. Gordon won his debut race in the GTO class at Daytona at the wheel of the Whistler-sponsored Cougar. With teammates Calvin Fish and Lyn St. James, Gordon and the team placed fifth overall. The Cougar and its drivers would also win at Sebring that year. By the end of the 1990 season, Mercury added another championship to its long-running string of victories. Gordon would go on to win in nearly every racing series with four wheels. This V8-powered version of the #15 (there was also a turbo-V6 for tighter courses) is more than a handful. Tame the Cougar and you will have a strong ally in your fight for victory.

That class and era of those cars were just so cool IMO I also loved Trans Am series cars of that era too. The SCCA RaceTruck’s were a really neat but, short lived series. Jeep Comanches, Nissan Pickups, Dodges etc.
