What about a Zetec Contour and a Zetec Cougar? Contour still faster?
Driver's race in either combination as stated above. It's like asking if that Contour will beat that Contour and they are exactly the same. The cars are really that close. Cougars only came in manuals for the 4cyl though so if you have an 4cyl auto a Cougar would beat you. I know the 4cyl manuals come close to the V6 autos.
No I don't think it really is that close. The cougar is a nicer looking car stock than a stock contour but it weighed in at least as much as an SVT. Except for special cases it weighs more and when all else is equal it is slower. I've never seen a stock cougar v6 w/MTX take out at stock contourGL v6 w/mtx.
Yes it is still a drivers race as there isn't that much of an advantage from the weight difference, but from the drivers being equal perspective the nod goes to the contour GL versus the cougar and/or the SE contour which is a more equivalent car to the cougar.
