Good kill man, 5 speeds are always faster off the start, i have a 2.5l v6 cougar, ATX, and my neighbor has an 4cylinder 2.0 cougar, both 99's.. we raced off a dead start, in the start he wins but in like 2 seconds i get in front, (thank you K&N intake) but when we start at 60 and haul, i smoke his ass everytime.. lol

Considering your car is a manual you lose a lot less WHP than the Alero would. Your probably more evenly matched than what you think you are in terms of TRUE horsepower you can actually use. Weight is probably another factor. Your around 2900lbs plus your weight. The Alero probably doesn't weight THAT much more than your Cougar but I'm sure it does a little bit. Anyhow, I'm not surprised..

Don't feed the troll; it's not worth it. yes i know this but why does he want to be on a...
