Indeed. The V6 ATX 0-60 times are horrid. I should know. [see sig] The Sedona that replaced it will mimick the 9-something seconds it took the Contour to get to 60. However, the Contour couldn't hold 7 extra babes or a load of luggage on the roof and in the hatch.

The best I EVER got out of my specific Contour was 8.84. Only got it once, and I was never able to repeat it. MTX V6s will run in the low 8s to high 7s, and the Mazda 6s MTX will run about 7 flat, although I've seen one specific model published at 6.67.

And don't even ask the posing question of 0-60 on the Zetecs.
