Why I just happened to have almost that exact same race my friends 91 v6 RS against my 97 escort (mine is a stick shift so its a little faster than an auto) and I got walked bad from a stop. He has 2.2 liters and 110 hp at the flywheel...just wave goodbye to him.

Egads - my '89 GP had a 3.1 LHO (transverse-mounted, so whatever, right?) and I would destroy Escorts - but no one I knew actually thought their Escorts were mini-Mustangs...

110 at the flywheel?
you should see your mechanic pronto, get a tune up.
The V6 thridgens aren't all that powerful, but they sure have more torque than a 2.2 motor.
The escort might be lighter, tighter tranmission and all computer controlled smooth....but even an RS should take it off the line.
Just race and get this nonesense over with.
