Default do i have a chance?

my friend who drives a 93 Integra with a manual transmission wants to race me. All he has done to his car is put on a short ram intake. i have an 04 Neon but its an auto and all i have done to mine is put on a vibrant muffler from MP. i think i could beat him if i had a stick but with an auto i think hes gonna take me. do i stand a chance? or should i save myself from a possible speeding ticket?

heres the specs i could find on his car
Wheelbase, in. 100.4
Overall Length, in. 172.9
Overall Width, in. 67.4
Overall Height, in. 52.2
Curb Weight, lbs. 2560
engine dohc I4 1.8 / 112 hp 130-140 torque 121-126
*he says his car has 140hp

even with an ATX you should take him easily. he has at least 10 hp less, you car is around 140 hp with the exhaust.

what an Integra??? Better not get his hopes up as the GSRs come w/ a 170 HP motor. The Ls is a B18 w/ around 130-140 and the b16 is about 120 Hps...It is very possible that he could lose...

most automatic trannies nowadays are setup to shift at peak performance, so shifting a straight auto yourself, unless your car is modded, likely wont help you much.
