They are geared differently than the Contours are. When they get into thier 3rd gear they can usually pull away for a little while. Mean Green (Duratec MTX) could never keep up to them after that point. I was always impressed by the VR6's abilities.
With those mods it's hard to say. it will depend entirely on traction issues, car weight (stereo?), tires, etc... With that kind of upgrade to it the VR6 could be looking at anything in the mid 14s to mid 15s. If your friend can't drive I'll outrun him in te Focus... well... no...
