Yeah, because the look of a car really determines who traps first. Nice way to stick your opinion in there. 
Moving on.
The Contour has 10 whopping extra horsepower, and is at a significant disadvantage as far as torque. Driveline losses are also more pronounced in that of a front drive vehicle. It further isn't helped by the fact that you have to wind a Duratec all the way to dang near 7000 RPM to make peak. If you screw up even one shift or hit the limiter just once, it's over and she will own your balls. Whether or not you'll like that is undisclosed. 
She has no need to twist her powerplant all the way to redline like you do, so the chances of her hitting a limiter are slim to none.
If she's just a cocky girl looking to lay some rubber on your car then you'll probably take the run if you have driving experience and a knowledgable history of how to launch your car properly. If she's good, you better be on your toes and pray that you nail everything, because if you don't, rest assured when she's done poking fun at you, I'll be waiting right here on CEG to say, "Dang, that sucks." 
Don't uptalk it either. I'm speaking this from experience. You DO NOT want to lose to a girl.
