1949 Mercury Coupe
The 1949 Mercury Coupe tuned by PTG Jamie and painted by PTG Fox packs a whopping 657KW of power combined with 1,115Nm of torque, making this car a must drive for all Forza fans. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought this car today, but once I applied the extra power through Jamie’s tune, and the amazing Freddie Krueger paint by Fox, I knew something good was about to happen.
From the moment I took off the line you can actually imagine the G force going through the car, so it is no surprise that the launch and acceleration both have a 10.0 rating. I was racing in Rivals mode at Byron Bay against a 2017 Ford GT and I kept up most of the lap, however weighing in at 1,407kg I found it difficult to manoeuvre the car through the fast corners at the Byron Bay circuit I was racing at. But the genuine acceleration of this tune allowed me to match it with the Ford GT and within no time I was back up next to the ghost car. Braking was solid, and I found staying in 3rd gear rather than dropping back to 2nd gear at corner entry and exit was more effective. On the really slow corners, 2nd gear was best but careful throttle control was required just to make sure the back didn’t slide out.
After driving this car, I can now see why so many Ford Mustang owners converted over to the Mercury Coupe back in the 1940's and early 1950's. I can’t even imagine how many more Mercury Coupe’s would have been sold if they had PTG Jamie’s tune and PTG Fox’s paint on it!
