    That looks impressively similar to the real deal. I can only imagine he built it to pick up chicks with.

    That would fool 99% of people in the real world. Nice job!

    showed the top-bottom comparo and girlfriend couldn't tell the difference. Pretty impressive....but why a Cougar?

    Who the heck wants a cougar unless it's one with flat abs, implants and is willing to pick-up the tab?

    I prefer the "Puma." This is a woman under 40, married, and is a "Cougar" in training.

    You can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.

    The concept is cool though. It's just too bad all it can be is a Duratec.

    LOL, well, I'll say this . . .I'm no Audi purist or enthusiast but it would definitely fool me if I saw one on the highway

    Especially if I raced it and won, LMAO! I'd be like . . .DUUUDE, I just beat an R8 on the Highway . . .then Luke and P71 would be like . . .uhhh, you weirdo, that's a Cougar . . .then I'd cry in a corner.
