Think it will be very even, unless you have raised you rev limit, and he has 17" alloys on there.

it will be very close, but you *should* win as you have mor epower, but it's whether it's enough to make a differance at all.
If in doubt take yoru spare tire out, back seats etc....

race him on a private road and find out!!
Gsi- standard good condition engine about 109BHP + straight exhaust, induction and manifold= about 115BHP max
sport- standard good condition engine about 106BHP + exhaust, induction= about 110BHP + inlet manifold = 125BHP
from what you have said, and on basis both cars have good condition engines, same weight, and similar/equivilent size alloys/wheels would easily give you the edge
uprate internals and stick in a uni-chip to give raised rev limit of about 7200rpm should bring your power to around 135BHP+ and u will kill him in a race
