Edged a bud's Chevy

[Stefan]

A buddy of mine at work has an 82 Camaro with a recently rebuilt 350, Edelbrock 4bbl, longtubes, and Borla muffs all mated to an auto. We never get a chance to run the cars full out as there are ALWAYS cops around here. Yesterday we were both headin' out to get some beers after work and we actually got to line up at a light and not a cop in sight. We're always jokin' about who's car is the fastest yadda yadda yadda so we both knew we were gonna hit it. On the light change I bogged a tad and then shifted around 5000. Everytime I shifted he nosed me out but then i'd crawl back up in my powerband and edge him out. We shut it down around 60 (not much of a race but there was another light coming up and it was in a 35 zone) and I had maybe a half a car on him. Shouldn't he have just kicked my *** ? I am not claiming that this was a Camaro kill - i'm just curious what he should be running and what my slow vert should be against him. I'm basically stock save for a K&N and Borla catback. Is his car just that out of tune? Oh well, it was all fun and it made the beers taste sweeter.

Sorry for the length. I never race because I know my car is slow but man what a rush.
