At least you admit to the number being faster. You obviously must have an engineering degree to produce such quality technical analysis 'round here.


Uh, *who* admits? My first post to this thread does NOT show the 2000 Max as faster than the 2000 SVT Contour--far from it. The SVT Contour walks the Maxima by 13 seconds to 130 mph (of course, the margin is much smaller at double-digit speeds). I talk tested numbers, not manufacturer's advertisements.

What does an engineering degree have to do with basic arithmetic?

The point is in the expertise of an average driver, the Max will defeat the Tour SVT in the straight-line acceleration/ drag race.


With this 'average' driver in both cars, stock-to-stock, you are correct if referring to 4th gen Maximi. You are incorrect if referring to 5th gen Maximi (at least the Y2K models).
