Its close, I have raced my friends Probe GT with a 5 speed and I kept up until about 50-55 and Im running a SOHC with the 3 spd Auto...Depends on the course and the rubber I think...Also what Crazy said, the driver

just race the guy give it a shot wont hurt unless ur a retarded crazy driver. I raced a Toyota MR2 the other night but he was being a girl about goin fast but when he did full acelleration he was quicker but i couldnt tell you which was faster be i was in the lead the whole time, i dont think he was trying. Then again they only have 130hp[8D]

IIRC, the 2.5L V6 DOHC had ~160HP and ~150 ft/lbs of torque. So if he's a decent driver, he'll jump out ahead of you and continue to pull.
