Didn't know they made a Mountain Cat "Cougar" that would be a 500 fan? Maybe more like 60hp!

I believe its actually in the middle about 70hp, which is just enough to pass 80mph.

Not if you got KC's 1035 twin 200 hp engine and slapped in there That would be the fastest Cougar Mt. Cat on record!! (leave the 550 stickers and make it a sleeper )
