Watch out. SUV+manual tranny means that they will go much faster than you think. I had a 91 Explorer xlt manual and it did circles around my uncles sport auto. The auto was a 5 speed too(something the contour should have inherited....). Just saying that he probally will get you off the line but once you hit 4500, your good to go. Just don't get too cocky or think that you will walk him without trouble. Granted Explorers and Blazers are a totally different vehicle, I'm just saying that SUV+manual will go much faster than you think. But have a decent start and race, you should get him.
