I dont know how much has changed with the vdubs over the past few years but you may be up for a rude awakening. also keep in mind he's draggin alot less weight. yes...

You must have posted your reply based solely on the title of this topic. the original poster states the stats of both cars and his tour is lighter than the VW...

I always assumed the vw was quite a bit lighter than the contour/cougar [and my brain just skipped what you said about weight]. but your right, my gli's listed with a 3106 curb weight and a 180hp. I stand by my statement that my gli is wickedly quicker than my cougar [which sucks]. But considering the older model is putting down a fair amount less hp, then I gotta say this may be a close call. anyways, I'm interested in hearing the results. I'll try to do an identical matchup this weekend for comparision [maybe its not a quick as I think] yes... I am a cougar owner trolling on your board.
