Seriously, i don't think you can take him. both auto, and with him being the convertible, i think it will be really close, but i think he will take two out of three.
Unless he REALLY can't drive, and you get like a .5 seconds on him on reaction. That would be a different story.
P.S.
after i posted i looked at your location. I worked in monmouth county for a while. my company has another branch down there, and they needed my help when they launched a new product. I was on the road that goes by the main entrance of oldbridge, and this guy pulled out with a viper, followed by an old chevelle or something. behind him were four or five mustangs. i found out after that day that it had been a magazine shootout, and they were doing the track tests that day. Useless knowlege, came to mind because of where you live. sorry bout the rambling
