In the quarter mile this guy will smoke you. It's all about HP to weight ratios and your old car is fat and not sporting the requisite HP to make up the difference. Run him for a couple of miles and your top end might make a difference but... don't bet your title or more cash than you can afford to lose.

What is his car!
ten HP doesn't make a difference if his car is lighter than yours. Camarros are tuff, but heavy. Make shur you empty out your car. For the race itself, Ice your cold air, that should help a little. The tranny may do it for you, be carfull on your shifts.
Check your fule mixture, maby you can get a few more horse.
good luck, do it where you wont run someone over.
2nd answer. hahaha he's got fwd! no weight. get a good start and you will win.

I would hope so. The other guy proly did his cold air intake wrong anyway if he did it himself. what kind of car does he have? You would proly beat him on a 1/4 mile but in a long run usually an import will win because your comaro should be set for torque and not top end horsepower.

Horses and torque aren't everything. the other guy has a lighter car, 10 horses won't win you a race. I think it'll be key to get a good launch. Don't spin the tires!!
Oh and HAVE FUN!!!! it's only a race, don't let your ego get too bruised because of one race. Don't squish anybody either. I love racing but there's a time and place to do it.

You have a good chance against your opponent cause your car has a good torque and 200 horses under the hood , 10 more than his. If you are good at gearshifts you are sure on winning the race.

U shouldn't even sweat this race. U have more upgrades, more HP, and more torque. It all depends on ur driving skill . but Id hand u the win.
