OMG, ya that just went over my head. I always assumed the vw was quite a bit lighter than the contour/cougar [and my brain just skipped what you said about weight]. but your right, my gli's listed with a 3106 curb weight and a 180hp. I stand by my statement that my gli is wickedly quicker than my cougar [which sucks]. But considering the older model is putting down a fair amount less hp, then I gotta say this may be a close call.

anyways, I'm interested in hearing the results. I'll try to do an identical matchup this weekend for comparision [maybe its not a quick as I think]


yes... I am a cougar owner trolling on your board.
