2000 GS vs. 1990 Z24

So my friend was over at my house tonight, and he's wanted to race me ever since I got my car in October.

So we traveled a few miles to a secluded road, bout 1 mile long.

His Z24:
1990
CAI
Aftermarket muff
Auto
His car sounds awesome, like a v6 mustang with exhaust

My GS:
CAI
SS Exhaust
Headers
shortshifter

I was kinda nervous, cause its a V6 and i already raced him a few times in my old car (Oldsmobile 88' Royale brougham loved that thing) and lost.

So we kinda pull up alongside of eachother. We both consent to just go when the other starts moving.

So I wait until he starts moving, and I rev up to 3500ish and release the clutch not very gradually.

I leave some rubber, and I start pulling him like a bitch.

By the end of second gear, going about 60, I'm a few cars ahead of him. We stop at about 80mph


Second race:

I accidently burned a lil too much rubber, so he beat me off the line. but by the time i had shifted into second i was passing him.


So I got a kill with my beasty lil GS!! Woot

Now i gotta race my friends 2000-Something mustang. He beat me last time cause i missed second and gave up and he didn't wanna try again.

I know, most of you are thinking "well, a mustang will beat a gs anyday".

But my friend has been driving manual for 2 years, as opposed to my 5 months, and he is not that great, and is bad at launching.

Might I comment on my driving tonight, I shifted flawlessly everytime, very quickly.
