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.
