Well his car weighs: 3227 lbs
My car weighs: 2824 lbs

Difference of 403 lbs... (I didn't think my car was that light

), but assuming the 20 lbs per 1 hp, then that would give me an extra 20.15 HP.

But with his more aggressive gears and his manual, do you think I should still be able to beat him? I took out my seats and sub/amp, and it felt like a lot more than 7 HP (140 MAX lbs / 20).

He does have a lot more traction problems than I do (he has the Kuhmo Supra Ecstas...I think that is what they are called), so that could help me out....

Any comments?

Thanks,
DoranW
