Somebody has to lose, you won't really know unless you try. Are you worried that if he wins than he is better than you? His car is probably faster, espeically with an AWD launch and no miss auto trans. I'm sure you can find the real performance specs of his and your car on line, if that helps protect your ego. Car and Driver generally has accurate ratings and it will help you find the cars you can beat with 225hp and 3200lbs. You can safely pick on 6 cylinder Mustangs and serveral mini vans. Just calculate the power to weight ratios and that will answer most of your accleration questions.
