PONTIAC VS MERCURY: A Showdown For the Ages

- Today it's a late reupload of SH**BOX SHOWDOWN 2: PONTIAC VS. MERCURY. I had 20 seconds of Jay Leno's Garage in the first attempt, sorry about that NBC-UNIVERSAL, you know we don't mean to step on toes here. But anyway we pitted PONTIAC vs. MERCURY and here you go.
Pontiac Aztek vs Mercury Marauder is literally the duality of man.
You have to both fear and respect the man who prefers the Aztek. He has a justifiable reason, and it’s probably not pleasant.
My buddy had a crown Vic, it was a sight for sore eyes. But damn the thing had a kick to it and rode like a dream. I imagine the Mercury version was even better!
@@AndrewBarskya sight for sore eyes means it looks good, im guessing based off the “but (compliments)” that you mean to say it doesnt look good
Also with the G8 Pontiac, you could actually drill out the spot welds and reweld a Holden ute rear to the G8 and it'd still be road legal
Someone has done it.
@@R3D_Lantern 😮 who? I need to see this
@@XxJx3xX it was from a vinwiki video that I heard about it. I don't remember which one, though.
There's a shop in Colorado that specializes and sells Holden ute conversions to be street legal here. Pretty much doing what you described
i want
The fact Nbc blocked this video for a segment of Jay lenos garage is just a display of power
Absolutely. Fck Nbc. They destroyed The Weather Channel too.
My sister had a Vibe as her first car. That 2ZZ made the car immortal. Its only problem was the Takata air bags and the one time an Autozone employee set it on fire by setting a metal wrench on the battery terminal. It lived though.
You're lucky that AutoZone employee's stunt didn't blow the takata claymores
There is a family that frequents the shop I work at. The whole family has Vibes. And the son is not happy. Hell was begging for anything to be wrong with it so he could ditch it
I hope his family gets the help they deserve
yeah I bet your sister had a "vibe", probably in her closet somewhere
had a vibe GT through college. great little ride. was my GTI wannabe.
black, manual, had an intake and a cherrybomb resonator too. and i definitely have put a friend in the _back_ back. 😅
this right here is why you always pay attention to where you set your tools down
I got a nissan quest with 365 thousand miles for free. The cv axles were terrifying and it locked itself when you shut the door, but it was the most reliable thing ever. The ac blew like 45 degrees immediately. It was also quick for no reason. 10/10 van
F for Netgear, the token Italian guy will be missed.
what happened?
RIP Netgear. He must be in the trunk of that Atomic Era land yacht.
what happened to him?
@@Valyvoline_Racing he's just not in this video lmao, he's still alive
@@toujours lmao i just noticed i responded to the wrong comment, i meant to respond to one that said he went to prison and i was like "oh what happened" lol but yeh i still watch his videos lol dw
@@Valyvoline_Racing u find out why he went to prison or whether that was just another joke?
@@toujours nope still have no clue, but meh its alright I wont budge into it dw
CCF is the best channel ever. Been here for a while now and enjoy every minute of y’all’s content.
Thanks boo
This is the only channel that still gets me excited to watch a new upload
My man out here busting out some Mudvayne and I just got some teenager flashbacks right then and there. Still an amazing clip and song to this day 😁👌
Mercury Marauder... ❤

BRRR BRRR DING BRR BRR DING
BURY ME
I had a 500$ murcury mariner that was a 265k mile smokers hotbox. I drove it every day to school for over a year and it would always start and run without issue. It was also 50% rust.
81 merc zephyr. taught me everything I know about wiring.
In like a good way or a broken way
@@a_common_weeb completely broken
Been binging CCF videos over the last week. More evo content please. I want to hear you guys discuss whether the evo X is a real evo or not. I simply want to see the cope in the comments from the Lancer owners.
My first car was a sable, that Vulcan was a PITA to work on, but I was so tall I appreciate how spacious it was.
Hahaha my Uncle’s work truck just got stolen a few weeks back and the first thing the thief did was put a new head unit and subs lol.
4:07 Those cops just got confused... They mistook Atlas' Maurader for their Crown Vic Police Interceptor
17:28 Ooh! 1958 Edsel Villager, which is funny because I only discovered Edsel a couple days ago (my autism has been gushing over the 4dr 59' Ranger). Also, it's cool you guys did pontiac because my mom used to own a 2004 Grand Am which she drove like Mario Andretti. Thing was sweet despite its issues, sad the breaks went and we had to sell it for parts
The FHP also used Mercury Marauders as stealth cruisers, like 20 of 11,000.
Glad someone mentioned the Grand Prix at lest 😂 But besides the GTP supercharged Grand Prix there was also a GXP version of the Grand Prix that from 05-08 that came with a LS motor,bilstein shocks, and a staggered wheel setup
LS4 which is used in FWD V8 swaps. It's stupid and amazing
My aunt had a mercury cougar for the longest time 😂😂😂 “best car I ever had” thing was sick ngl as a kid
As a ford guy and panther platform enthusiast, I would take the G8 any day.
You guys should do a video on the Subaru XT6. As part of it, look at its addvertisment. When you have the balls to play a song in your commercial where the chorus is "GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!", you know the car must be based. Love the videos guys, keep up the good work.
Capri xr2 was a sleeper. Miata block with a turbo. Same motor as 323 gtx. Turned the boost up and beat wrx’s with it fir 1000$ including the car.
The cougars headlights make it look like it’s staring up to god, asking why it exists and begging for death
The last car my grandpa restored before he died was a 68 Pontiac GTO. He found a clean body but everything else was trash. He got a chassis from the junk yard and built it from there. He told my grandma to sell it after he died. She managed to get 30 grand for it I belive
91-94 Mercury Capri XR2. Popups, convertible, 5 speed manual, factory turbo'd miata motor.
Like a FWD miata with back seats and a turbo.
with the grand marquis the first 7 letters explain it all "grandma"
Ok..you guys opened a can of worms (HA) with the slither game. Now Im playing it (late). Didnt stop until I got on the leaderboard, then kept on going till I hit number, with a nice bit fat one!
Shout-out to you referencing The Homer.
It’s Friday which is already cool, but CCF uploads!? Even better!
You guys should do a "boomer" only version of this series, since you guys chose so many late 50's early 60's cars on this vid xd
This guy needs the 100 k plaque on how i love ur channel
I can’t think of any mercury that doesn’t have an identical ford twin except the eighth gen cougar. That’s kinda cool. And my brother just told me the 8th gen cougar was supposed to be the 3rd gen probe.
Also the 3rd gen Capri
That old mercury station wagon is a head turner, especially slammed
You really cant beat GM when it comes to rebadging to create the ultimate "an car"
i love the impromptu mudvayne in the middle.
I was so excited for the Sable, I've had two of them and they're lovely 🥺
This is going to be badass
Funny y’all uploaded this I just got myself a 06 GTO
2:33 made my skin crawl. 🎉
The Mercury Marauder was initially intended to be the Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor in 1998 but because of the cost of them Ford decided to shelve the project, but because it was such an awesome performance package they decided to rebadge it as a Mercury Marauder a few years later for just 04 & 05 i believe & it's an absolute beast of a car!
Guy at work had his minivan stolen. Got it back from the police 3 months later and they tinted the windows. Smelled like weed.
I hate being a Ford Guy because Im screaming at screen. The Mercury Zeypher
I got that Mudvayne/Mercury head reference, this is crazy 😂
"You can supercharge those things" Oh Atlas, we don't admire modifications here, stock or gulag😂😂😂
That rare, coveted reverse lick tho
Robbery gone right
Villager video is in Reidsville, NC.
As weird as the last gen Cougar was, I love it because of it being built on the Mondeo/Contour platform with the crispy 2.5L Duratec V6. Fucking phenomenal handling platform, which is why SVT took their hands to the Contours to make it like the Mondeo ST200.
The LN7s were quirky, but cool as hell. The Ford equivalent twin, the EXP, was pretty damn cool. Can be mistaken for a Fox Stang, even though it obviously isn't. They did pretty good trying to make the Stang and the Escort have a child. Heart and soul is all Escort, but the styling ques are pretty Fox-influenced
Friend owned a marauder that came with a trilogy super charger.
I always wondered what made the marauder special, until i looked a video of a youtuber that owned it and said those were not worth the price lol
1st gen cougar had a longer wheelbase than the mustang. Fax me my boomer point
The car feed page should get a state filter, you choose what state this car is sellng and a filter where it says weather its sold or available
More shitbox showdowns pls these are funny
Feed with the wind from nose snicker before clicking on the fucking Mudvayne: Dig "It's banter time" filler was perfect.
Hope y’all have seen the car bros video. Great channel, wish they still made content.
So does every Fierro based kit car count as a Pontiac model? Also don't forget the 2011+Caprice that was a stretched G8 that turned into the SS... Essentially the 2011 Caprice was the test bed and transition from G8 to SS.
The Caprice, G8, and SS were all Holdens rebadged and refitted to USDM.
@@lyixxa3073and coincidently they were the best muscle sedans you could buy. No shitty mopar fiat quality chargers and Holden actually made their shit to last compared to GM domestic manufactured models. Australia should have nationalized Holden it didn't deserve to die.
Lol my 95 park Avenue has automatic headlights. It's called Twilight sentinel. I was a little bit disappointed when I found out it wasn't a missile launcher with night vision.
Cougar v6 manual over the Fiero
How you could leave the Pontiac Bonneville on the table is a mystery.
I watched this live a while back... time to watch it again lol
my favorite thing to do is to laugh at my own jokes on a rewatch
The 80s Cougar was a fox platform car. It was just based more on the Ford Thunderbird which is also a fox body.
Drove a Mercury sable back from Detroit with a tow dolly and a Mercedes behind it. Helluva ride
They got the same tow rating as a ford ranger 😂
8:08 is actually a 3rd Gen Ford Probe.
When are yall gonna do a video on cb7 accords☹️
That last-gen Cougar front end is an atrocity, especially compared to the first gen...
First car I ever had was a 2022 Cougar, still want one again to this day.
Mercury 68 Park Lane Brougham, if you want to have the most comfortable land yacht possible decked out with more wood, upholstery, and ornaments than a European museum.
No mention of the 80s turbo coupe Cougars? 5 speed and they were faster than the 5.0 I think
I love the Mercury LN7/EXPs, I have an 87 Escort GT that I've posted in the discord before
That thumbnail though 😂
When you called the Cougar the "Asian Nissan Eclipse" I almost died. Honestly you didn't need to correct yourself, lmao. There was a Cougar built based on the Thunderbird which was a fat Fox Body.
There wasn't A Cougar, every Cougar made from 1974 to like 1996 was just a T Bird
Sad the "Merkur" didn't sell, the Sierra XR4i is legendary. Only thing better was the Cosworth version or Escort XR3i
I’d love to see more of these but with more conventional brands. Ford v. GM? Subaru v. Mitsubishi? Honda v. Toyota?
A couple experienced collectors weighting the merits of the titans of automotive industry to find out once and for all which is truly better.
The G8 will smoke almost any marauder unless it's heavily modded. Those pontiacs had like 300hp stock.
Clicked on a vid about two dead company’s and ended up watching mudvayne’s Dig music video. Not what I was expecting
What a bunch of horrible vehicles to talk about!
But when the words
"I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE BUD LIGHT DRINKERS"
was said, I almost needed CPR laughing so fucking hard! PRICELESS!!!
I hope netgear is proud that you guys managed and didn’t use the R word
"You are the crumple zone."😭😭😭
"It looks like an asian Mitsubishi Eclipse" ????
No one ever wants a Grand Prix, they wind up needing one instead.
this was such a good video without all netgears negativity!!!
Imma make fun of u next video ong
@@carfriendsimulator9981On God. There I said it @Vukos
The early 2000 sables had a 24 valve v6 with a good amount of horsepower and torque. If these guys knew a little more about cars then they could have chose that. It is a pretty nice car.
They got the Vulcan engine in the older ones as far as 1996
Who was the metal band in the background?
Mudvayne
Battle of the mids
Enough said.
Chevrolet Caprice PPV is an even more sleeper looking G8/SS, they're cheaper too, but you'll have to do some work on them as the cops usually beat the hell out of them
Wasn't expecting to see a Ford Sierra in this video, ngl.
Those 4th gen Trans Ams are the shit I love those things
1st gen Pontiac GTO or Mercury Leadsled?
64 gto all day
A couple of standouts
1st, GP GTP, not the GTP.
GTP is the SC3.8
GXP is the 5.3 LS4
Also there are the MCSS, ISS, and others, not to forget the NorthStar variants such as the Bonneville GXP, not the Bonneville, SEEi
GXP Bonnies have a NorthStar, which the SEEi Bonnies are powered by the SC3.8, which there was variants of these. If you didn’t know what you were looking at, you would be surprised. They are not red light to red light cars. These are built for the highway. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Plus the music that is produced by these cars. Basically all of them sound great.
Second, is the 1991 Firehawk, after the first gen, they reduced the performance, goodie’s, and focused on the form more. And remember. The power in those first generation SLP’s was raw, not a safety system period. The safety system was you. People who wasn’t racing them would be scared somewhat by these cars because the power to weight, and they would get loose before anyone would know it. So, some of the owners not racing them would pull them out for a weekend drive, every once in a while. Plus they have a beauty, and presents, that rivals the last gen Pontiacs, with the LS1.
Love that he randomly clicked on the mudvayne dig video
Last gen Cougar vs Fiero? I'm choosing Fiero every day, mid engine handling and engine swapping them can turn them into a weapon vs the Cougar America's attempt to copy the Japanese
They only made a few thousand g8 gxps
And a few hundred g8 gxp manual transmissions
The gxp has a 6.2 ls3 like the SS
And the GT had a 6.0l Ls2
What did netgear do? Why is he imprisoned?
He died but he's getting better
Bugatti by ace hood being on the first RUclips recommended screen kills me
Man my coach back in little league football had a Grand Marquis and that thing used to fuckin BARK dude, holy fuck. You could hear him coming down the block, whether it was the car or the 12 inch subs in the trunk. I was waiting on it to be mentioned out the gate tbh.
Please incorporate Saab in one of these episodes
So Puchii worked for CarMax
Bro shoulda pulled the OG Cougar XR7. Or the Mercury Cyclone. Was shocked to see the XR4Ti. My mom had a Vibe back in the day. and I feel like it had the 1zz and awd. It was slow as fuck. It was however kitted out like the Gt just without the engine. Full factory body kit and all the options without the good motor.
Great vid.
The LN7 is an EXP not an escort......but probably still the same platform
