It's a cool fall day, 12:00 noon, dry pavement, good flat road. There are a bunch of cars lined up to race the 1/8 mile (not 1/4) from a dead stop. The drivers of all the cars are clones of your favourite race car driver. All the cars are 100% stock, rolling on factory rubber, in a perfect state of tune and have manual gearboxes. The cars are as follows:
2000 Contour SVT
2004 BMW 325i
2004 Nissan Altima 3.5L
2004 Jetta 1.8T
2004 Mazda 6 3.0L
2004 Lexus IS300
2004 Acura TSX
2004 Audi A4 3.0L Quattro
Place the cars in the order in which you think they would finish the 1/8 mile.
1999 CSVT #545

Provided all cars are manuals...
The Contour wouldn't lose to all of them.
Matter of fact it would beat the BMW, Jetta, IS300, & TSX.
I don't know the stats for the Audi so it may beat that too.
It is slower then the 3L Mazda 6 (by a hair) and the 3.5L Altima (more then a hair) for certain.
2000 SVT #674

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

i have a cougar and i KNOW i can beat an IS300 and the BMW and im sure if i had an SVT motor i could hang with or beat the acura and VW....and i know its against the rules of this topic but if the contour had a 3L against the mazda well then....

Actually the cars you picked are all close competition for the SVT. (Except the Altima which should run far far away from it)
I say the race would be very close between most of the cars in the 1/8 mile, were this the 1/4 I think the SVT would definitely pull ahead of several of them since it pulls it's best in the top-end.
