Well... the R/T i think has about 150HP... and it's lighter than the contour...
I would bet on the R/T against a Zetec...
Bt never... never... a R/T could beat a SVT... only if the SVT is turned off !!!
I would go even further... i don't even think a R/T would beat a Standard Duratec...
That's what i think... maybe I feel this way because i hate neons... but still... i would bet on the contours...
