Default Annoying Neighbor... Whos faster?

Okay so I got this neighbor just bought a 2001-2003 Olds Auroua with the 3.5L Twin Cam V6 I know he has 215hp and I only got 205 but he said his Olds would kill my Pontiac in a race... His car has leather and moonroof where as mine doesn't who would win or would he cause of the power? Please chime in!

Ok but what about in the end? Or off the line would I have him and with the lead keep him behind me down the track? Or am I dreaming?

I think it might be a close call. Driver skill might be the deciding factor.

They are a very low 16 second car. I've seen Intregues with the 3.5 run as good as a 15.7 stock.[/quote]
