You'll beat him off the line and he will run you down at the top end.
Make sure you are only running a 1/4 mile or less. If its more that 1/4 mile he will catch you and pass you.
DO NOT RACE FROM A ROLL.
Make sure you have your launch down good. Youre ability to get ahead of him at the start will be the key to winning. It will be a close race though. He has more HP but is heavier and is FWD so you have a coupleof advantages at the start.
I raced a guy in a Accord with an engine swap he claimed to have 250 HP to my 160 (1990 GTU). We ran from a standing start. I ripped him a new one through 1st and 2nd gear I had easily 7-10 cars on him at the top of second. Then I shifted to 3rd............
............. and watched in frustration as he walked me down and passed me. WE covered way more than 1/4 mile though. If it was 1/4 or less I would have had him... barely.
