Contours weigh less. They are the faster car (even if just barely) in every competition, as far as I know.

really i would have never of guessed. i would have thought that since the contour has 4 doors and it would only make sense for me to think it would be heaver. thanks guys i guess i just missed somthing.

i believe the cougar is just a little bit heavier, but nothing dramatic. Id say both would run the same times.

The 98 Contour would kick the hell out of a 98 Cougar V6. A 1998 Cougar does not exist.

Cougar weighs slightly less according to these sites. If you search online all the sites post the I4 weight even though it says it is a V6. You need to really look to find the correct V6 weight. It makes more sense that the Normal contour weights slightly under the SVT anyway. Only major things extra are the groud effects and exhaust.
1999 Cougar weighs: 2921 lbs
1998 SVT Contour weighs: 3094 lbs
1998 Contour V6 weighs: 3033

I'd say it is too close to call. It will come down to the driver.
