read about half of the thread, and first I wanna ask if this race ever happened? shouldn't be an issue, the contour should wipe the floor with the zx2. my dad has a 99 (?) stock mtx zx2, I drive a 95 SE mtx (v6 2.5L) contour. my clutch blew out earlier this year so I used my dad's car for a few weeks (and again when the AC went to hell) and I can only say that with the exception of 1st gear, my contour was much faster. the zx2 will pick up a bit quicker in 1st, but after that it's zip is gone.
