My girlfriend has been wanting to go to the track and drag my SVT against her stock 99 V6 Mustang. I have driven her Mustang several times and it is fairly quick, but the SVT still feels faster.
Of course, if we race and she wins I will never hear the end of it, so I need to be reassured. Has anyone here had any experiences with V6 stangs?
Oh yeah, the track here is only 1/8, so that might give her a slight advantage.

with a good driver I've seen the 99+ run equivalent times to the CSVT. If it's a manual, I'll give the advantage to the mustang in the 1/8th.

Yes, it is a 5-speed manual Mustang.

Is she driving? Because if she isn't going to make smooth rev-matched shifts at redline, you can beat her.

Yeah, she will be driving, but there will definitely not be any "taking it easy". She is very competitive and will surely be out for the kill.

I am sure she has atleast 190, but I don't know the actual specs. I would expect it to be very similar to an SVT.

Yup, just read up on it and it is 190 hp and with a 5 speed it can go from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. So, the Contour has more power, lighter and is better looking...you should be the winner.
