Cougar 2000 Timeline / info ?
I need more info about the Cougar 2000. All versions.
Could this be correct? : * Cougar-2000 1993 first version * Cougar-2000 early 1994 Spec (new driveshafts) * Cougar-2000 XPC late 1994 (narrow chassis and SAC) * Cougar-2000 95-Team 1995 (new rear suspension geometri) Please correct if this is wrong! Regarding the SAC. It was sold as an option for the first Cougar-2000, right? When did Schumacher start to sell it? During 1994? |

What is important for me to know is the year each car is made and sold. In the Nordic Vintage Cup we can only use cars from 1994 and older. I really need to be sure which car and which parts will be "legal" for me to use. Can I use my Cougar 2000 XPC? If it was sold in 1994, yes! If it arrived in 1995, no! When did the SAC front suspension/steering arrived at the market? |

If it's u474a then I would of thought you should be fine. The only place to tell you for sure would be Schumacher I'd give them a quick call and ask
1994 Cougar 2000/95 spec U474A £199 Also known as "XPC" spec with narrow chassis, SACs 1995 Cougar '95 Team U499Z £199 3rd at 1994 Euros - narrow chassis, new rr sus. Geometry I would take that as pretty spot on |

I thought the First Cougar 2000 was 1994 as the Cougar 2 Works was 1993. When the first batch of Cougar 2000s came out they had a drive shaft issue. The red alloy drive shafts were too short and would pop out. Schumacher revised this within a couple of months and kits were updated with the longer drive shafts.
But I am almost certain it was 1994 this all happened because I had one and Schumacher replaced the drive shafts free of charge through the model shop. I maybe wrong though. |

The Cougar 2000 was definitely available in 1993, it ran in both the euros and worlds that year too. There was an overlap with the Cougar 2 works.
The years in that RC10talk thread are pretty spot on, the only thing it's missing in relation to the Cougar 2000 are the non OEM conversions (COMCOM and FAB2000) Paul. |

It is still possible to order those parts from FibreLyte, he he... I will have one FABIIX-2000 Mid enginge car and one rear engine car Race Ready for the Vintage racing 2WD class (in 4WD it will be a CAT-2000 or/and a Yokomo). I just want o be 100% sure that the Cougar 2000 XPC really was available in 1994! I have now sent an email to Schumacher. |
