Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Which handles better?

My friend was saying that even though he knows my stock 98 V-6 mtx LX sport is faster then his stock 95 Lexus ES 300 which is automatic. That he still has way better handling then me. He also says that contour's are only fast straight line cars. Could I get some of your opinions on which you think would win on a road course.

actually contours are excellent handling cars..which model is the es300, is it the overpriced camry,or other..i'd still say your tour would probably outhandle it...

Find your nearest AutoX event and take your cars out and see who comes home with the best time.

Even better, try to get some fun runs and drive each others cars in the fun runs, if you both honestly try to get your best times

TB

This has got to be the first time I have ever read this.

that may be the first time i've heard contours being called fast straight line cars...its usually the opposite...

It's usually the opposite for one damn good reason...they are not. Your friend sounds like a nice guy, but when he calls a Contour a drag car, his reasoning is brought into question. And so, having never driving a Lexus ES 300, based on the fact that your friend says it handles better than a 'Tour, it probably does not.

lol my thoughts exactly

I've never heard 'tours be called fast.

Yeah yours. :p
